I shared last week that I’m taking my boys through Truth in the Tinsel. I made a simple homemade advent calendar for the “clues” and gathered the few remaining supplies. We jumped in on Thursday, December 1.
Jonathan goes to the calendar first thing in the morning to turn the clue around. We’ve been doing the ornament after breakfast most days. Jacob has been sleeping later, so this has been a good fit – until Jacob changes his sleeping schedule on us! In the evening, we’ve been talking about the story again and sharing our ornament with Daddy.
Here are a few pictures of our fun…
This is our simple homemade advent calendar. See how I made it here.

Glitter glue is series business!
Mary … minus her arms and legs which were added after the glitter glue dried.
Coloring Mary and Elizabeth using his crayon roll.

I love seeing the boys in action! I had a few action photos of my two, but I’m too “hands on” during the actual creating to take many good pictures – I settled for “finished product” shots! 🙂
Jonathan doesn’t like me to help… and begs me to take his picture – most of the time.
So cute!! Yes, I need to be better at the “action” shots, too. 🙂 and since I only have girls doing it (the man cub is still too young) I love seeing how boys interpret the crafts!!
Thanks for linking up to Manger Mondays!!
Thanks. Boys are interesting. Jonathan doesn’t mind most crafts but hates to color.
very sweet pictures of your boys making their #truthtinsel crafts!!! so cool – I added a few for our post that we linked up, but we are a tiny bit behind due to some AWESOME fellowship with homeschool friends!! totally worth it-
Thanks. We keep Jacob away from the crafts and therefore the pictures too… Everything would be in his mouth!
