Christmas Cards

We're doing light school work this Advent which mostly involves the Tomie De Paola unit study. This week it says to read his Lady of Guadalupe book and make Christmas cards. It also suggests making flan. HOW FUN!!

Except we need 50+ cards! So other than making flan tomorrow, they will be making my Christmas cards this year! Its neat watching them color their best because they know other people are receiving these. Our cards will either have Our Lady of Guadalupe or the Nativity scene. We will then use stamps to put "Merry Christmas" on the top. A family photo will grace the inside and .... a letter if I can get that done! I think I might just have them start making my Christmas cards for me! So much more personal than store bought ones. Of course it helps to have a lot of colorers! I don't know that we will get all 50 cards and I might have to go into my stash of clearance cards I bought last year. I'll try to get a sample card up soon.
