When our eldest was small, she loved (and I mean LOVED) to color. For reasons known only to a toddler, she referred to her crayons as her "I go colors." We do not know if this was a statement of intent turned noun. Perhaps it was just easier for her to say. At any rate, we observed the "I go color" ritual religiously. I guess that's why I host a blog about free coloring pages. In our home, the crayon and all the creativity and joy it stood for was sacred. Anyway, enough family triva. Here are free printable Christms manger scenes to color. Print these free nativity sets children. Each manger scene has several pieces (Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, wisemen, angels, shepherds and animals). Use for decoration and to teach Christmas Bible stories. When I made these, I had kids color one part of the nativity scend each day of advent to countdown to Christmas. read moreSunday, 25 November 2012

Diwali, also sometimes called Deepavali, is the Hindu new year. It's a five-day festival celebrated by Sikhs, Hindus and Jains around the world. It's called the "festival of lights" and honors the deities Ganesha (the elephant-headed goddess, that's her on the left) and Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity. Diwali 2012 is celebrated from November 13-17 in the western calendar. Diwali means "garland of lights" (or row of lights) in Sanskrit and is referred to as the "Festival of lights." In the Indian calendar, Diwali is celebrated in late Ashwin (September-October) and ends in early Kartika (October-November).

I have many happy memories of Sunday School. 40 some years ago, we considered ourselves lucky to be able to color in Sunday School. I had a few coloring books, but they were well-used. So new coloring pages were a real treat. With the internet, we have access to lots of free printable coloring pages. I've written articles about free printable Bible, Sunday School and VBS coloring pages. Perhaps you want something more than just coloring pages for your Sunday School. Here are several websites with free printable craft activities for Religious Education, CCD, VBS, Christian School or homeschool. Free printable paper crafts are interactive and educational. Kids get to practice in fine motor skills: cut, assemble, paste, color and fold. These activities are hands-on and lots of fun. Read on Free Printable Bible Craft ActivitiesMonday, 15 October 2012
To say that the "The Hunger Games," by Suzanne Collins, is popular, is like saying Dr. Seuss writes cute stories. "The Hunger Games" books took the middle school readers by literature storm of hurricane proportions. "The Hunger Games" movie blasted to top spot when it came out in March. The saga continues in "Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay," neither of which remain long on book shelves and both of which will be equally epic movies (if my Spidey senses are anything to go by). My hard to please literati family loved books and movies, from 14-year-old daughter, to adult sons to 48-year-old husband.Planning to teach a unit on "The Hunger Games" books or movie? Here are free printable lesson plans and activities for several different content areas. Even older kids will love the coloring pages of Katniss, Peeta and the residents of the Capital. As for age level, the movie is acceptable for most ages, but the books are graphic. I recommend using "The Hunger Games" books with kids over 12.
