Craft #6


Now that you've seen the quantity of scrap wood I have around my place. It's not surprising that I have little pieces floating around as well. What better way to use them than on little projects.

We do a family-home evening every week. This is a day we spend studying scriptures and talking about our beliefs with our children, as well as just being together, having fun and playing.

We have a chart to keep track of whose in charge of what. This helps the kids get excited, and helps Ralexwin and I better share the load.

The chart has always been made out of paper.

Until recently when Vicbowin and I made this one. We took blocks from the toy box (one for each family member's name--or middle name) and drilled hooks into the tops. We did the same thing with the wood base.

Vicbowin wrote the words and I did the drilling. It was a fun project to do together and now sits proudly in our living room waiting for each week to come so the kids can move their block to the next job.

The $1 was for the hooks.

Who is the "M" block for? The baby's middle name?

I have to admit, I would have a really hard time letting my kid write the lettering. Way to go Mama!
