The 19th book is Away in a Manger, a Little Hymn book. Again, I found this treasure in a book sale here. I will spend my last dollar on a book, especially one that is already in the country. J has been facinated by another book that plays music when you open it. She has asked me repeatedly to sing the song with the book. I want J to learn some of the Christmas songs she would normally hear so she can sing along. This book allows that. It puts pictures to the words of the song. J has been extremely interested in learning some Christmas songs. Her favorites are 12 Days of Christmas, Rudolph, Jingle Bells, and Away in the Manger. She likes to take this book and make up her own words to sing to us. Our craft was to make a baby Jesus ornament. We started with some popsicle sticks which J glued onto cardstock as a base.
She colored a popsicle stick for baby Jesus. She drew his face and chose some clothes to wrap Him in (pink fabric, in case you were wondering).
We were singing the song as we played, she thought it was funny because I kept messing up! Well, only five more to go.....
