We Three...Unique Individuals

The biggest bigs have moved past needing my help with crafts.  Sometimes they even help Natalie make a craft.  She usually still needs a little help, but her personality still shines through into her work.

As I mentioned previously, we have been doing a craft to go along with our Bible lessons - sometimes this is a very simple, quick craft and sometimes this is more involved!  This is one of those involved ones :)  We sometimes use the devotional website truthforkids.com and September takes us through Matthew.  So immediately we were hitting Christmas stories.  Although a part of me felt strange making wise men in September, another part thought it was more fun to make a Christmas craft when it isn't even close to Christmas!

First up:  Caleb, who has become quite a die-hard OSU fan
 Natalie and I made this wise man together:
 Annalise's wise man - she has a thing for drawing what she calls "cute eyes" - they are always oversized and looking to the side.  Since we used googly eyes, she immediately claimed the largest set .  These particular eyes, I have saved from multiple projects that eventually get thrown away.

 Follow the star...

After everyone had dried, they did a puppet show over the back of the couch (Annalise inspired, I did not suggest it - she likes to make videos of all sorts)  The video did not turn out that well (mostly because **one** of the wise men liked to go in the opposite direction), but it was pretty cute and creative :)
