Two-fer, Lenten Special!

You guys, I am so embarrassed that I didn’t think of this before. If you want a plethora of fantastic ideas to do with your little ones that will warm your heart, you need just pop over to my new friend Holly’s blog The Little Hearts Project. It’s chock full of “ideas & inspirations to help instill into the hearts of young children compassion, kindness and the value of giving to others.”

And I’m definitely not just telling you about this because we were featured there today. But gosh, how fun and flattering to have our giving project posted.

So in that spirit, if you find today’s garden stone project beyond your craftability, you could always make a coin box together instead. Oatmeal canisters or yogurt containers (with lids) work great for this. Fun to decorate, cut a slit in the top, and pick a cause to save your pennies for. Your two year old will love it – fer sure!
