As we turn to a new calendar year we are making up craft show look forward to the things for the upcoming year and look back on how the past year. This is a really great crafts to do with kids because it helps them to set goals for the upcoming year. Teaching children to set goals in their lives at a young age is a very good habit to get into. I have each of the kids get 6 pieces of paper in different colors. We measure out the five pieces of paper making sure to leave an inch off each piece so that they will overlap. On the very top sheet we put It's 2017 and it's going to be a good year! Then on the next section the edge that has the inch that hangs out we put I want to try... On the next section we put on edge that hangs out I want to get better at... On the next section we put on the edge I want to help... On the last piece on the edge we put Looking back... I then have them go back and write the answers for each section on the top of each page. Discussing with them what they hope to accomplish in the next year and their thoughts on the last year. We then poke 4 holes on the top of the complete booklet and tie a ribbon streamer to complete the book. I also like to feel the ribbon so that it curls up so I kind of look like a noisemaker.

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
