We are on our seventh day of the Twelve Days of Christmas unit. We learned that seven swans swimming represented the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We began our lesson with the coloring sheets that the kids love so much. I have been surprised that even Kaleb is coloring these with care.
Kaleb is working on his bag book page.
I made a simple puzzle with the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. This will go into his bag book pocket. I can't wait to show you how great it is coming together!
J decided she wanted to work on the puzzle herself. We discussed each of the gifts and their meanings while she was attempting this puzzle.
Kaleb is working on his swan ornament - idea from Mom to Two Posh Divas (link below).
Kaleb's finished work for day 7 - his gifts of the Spirit puzzle, the bag book pages, his coloring sheet, and his swan ornament.
J's finished projects for day 7 - coloring sheet, my true love hearts (in my free printable), gifts for her lap book, and her swan ornament.
We are over half way there and I am truly pleased with the way this unit is coming together. I love the 12 days of Christmas tree and the kids are loving the crafts and such. See you soon.
