My kids' 3rd grade teacher had Squiggle Time. At least that's what I call it. She gave them a sheet of paper with rows of columns. You might have 4 across and 4 down (boxes) and then she would put a different "squiggle" in each box. The kids got to go from that squiggle and turn it into a picture or any kind of drawing. Get the idea? My girls loved doing it at school and so I started doing it during Church and they stayed occupied the whole time. And boy does it spark their imagination!annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244544986495708263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-11288322655006349912010-06-30T22:05:58.070-07:002010-06-30T22:05:58.070-07:00Aw, I'm glad to know my teeth brushing idea he...Aw, I'm glad to know my teeth brushing idea helped...especially since I didn't say a lot that weekend in my fatigue. I need to write my aha moments. I've been working on transcribing all my notes. It really is wonderful to be a new mom and to have so much inspiration! Love that picture of you.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141809612132976253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-12095398695011033122010-06-30T03:17:21.636-07:002010-06-30T03:17:21.636-07:00Hi April!

Not raising my voice nearly as much. It was from one of your comments that made me KNOW I had to change that weakness. It has been making a big difference in our home. I feel blessed to know you. Thanks April!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619765384788233274noreply@blogger.com
