At church they gave the kids a bag with 24 symbols of Christmas and a play dough recipe with some Kool Aid. Yesterday we made the dough on the stove and today we started making the symbols of Christmas. I doubled the recipe of dough because I knew Colin would probably want to do what his big brother was doing.
Colin was right by the trash can-- he kept pulling off pieces of dough and trying to throw them in the trash...
First we did the advent calendar on the wall that has a nativity scene. Colin was "taking a picture" of Gavin!
Then we did our dough symbol for the day. The first symbol of Christmas was a heart--so that we can remember the love that Jesus has for each one of us!
Colin was having fun telling us, "Cheese!" and "Smile!"
