Ink Blot

So last Sunday, Jan 5. was week one of the kids program at the wonderful Nature Church. It ended up being more daycare-like, and that’s kinda what we expected. 4 boys, all age 4 and younger, including mine. We’ll see how this progresses. Watching the wee ones is good, it allows parents a good break. I have a few more folks I want to invite who have come before with their kids.

I had a wonderful help in T, the daughter of one of the memebers. She’s GREAT with kids. Having 2 grownups there was nice, so someone could run the older wee ones to the potty.

The goal was to make a banner, but we just ended up coloring and playing around.  New goal for next time starting and ending with a prayer/song. Getting some kind of routine would be nice, even if its in 30 second doses.  I also want to make a couple of posters/charts… calendar like. Maybe a moon phase thing and a wheel of the year dial? Oh, and the banner.

The other thing  I want to ask around for is what the older kids (teens) need. I have my helper, plus there was anthoer girl there who was about 15… They are certianly old enough for service , but would a youth group type thing be useful? I don’t know how recpetive highschools are to pagan kids around here, bu it might be useful to them.  So many ideas…
