Toddler School - Week 3 - Getting Ready for Christmas

This week for Toddler School, I thought it would be a wonderful way to get ready for Christmas by doing some really fun Christmas activities with Baby Jay. She had a great time!

How to make a Keepers of the Faith Award Banner

     As a Homeschool Mom, I'm always searching for programs that are going to enrich my children's lives. A friend told me about the Keepers of the Faith program. This program is to teach girls to become godly wives and mothers that know how to take care of a home.
     There are two different age groups: girls 4-6 years of age use the Little Keepers at Home handbook; and girls 7-16 years of age use the Keepers of the Faith handbook. I thought the Little Keepers at Home would be a wonderful addition to six year old Jay's Kindergarten curriculum.
     For each skill that Jay completes, she will receive an Award Pin. I wanted her to have a way to display her Pins. The Keepers of the Faith website sells a sash, as well as the material to make your own sash, but I wanted Jay's awards to hang on the wall under her brother and sister's awards. I thought she deserved a place of honor, too.
     A banner is a great way to do this. I wanted it big enough to hold all the awards that she will earn when she graduates into the Keepers of the Faith program, as well. This is what I came up with.
