Nativity Canvas and Giveaway Winner

I have a featured post on the Hive today about how to make this Nativity canvas.


I've had a few readers ask for suggestions on how to adapt the Nativity Plate project.  Not everyone has access to a kiln so this project is for you.  It uses air dry clay. I used Activa's Plus Modelling Clay.

It came together quite easily and with air dry it's much faster as you only have a 24 hr dry period.

Please check out the Hive for my full tutorial.




On to the giveaway results:

I had 123 entries, (whew, that's alot of little tickets to make up), for the Pick and Draw game.





The winning entry is #17 on my email comments who is:

Janice M'Lot from Ranch Park Elementary who wrote:

"Would love it for my class! Thanks for having such an excellent blog! Use it all the time!"

Thanks everyone for entering.


It's 2 weeks from today that we will be having our annual "Christmas Craft Day" at school.....150 kids, 12 craft stations, all morning long!

I find I get a little scattered this time of year.  I want to post all the craft tutorials as well as Christmas Art projects so rather than keeping any sort of schedule you'll just find me posting as I go, sometimes twice a day!  Welcome to the Christmas rush.

see you very shortly,

  1. You should try using random.org to pick a winner. Easier than those little slips of paper:)

  2. Oh, I'd love to be at your school on Christmas Caft Day!! Would you explain how long each session is, how many children can be in a session, do they do each session? I'd love to try this at our school.♥♫

  3. Hey Marilyn, We set up 2 craft stations in each classroom, kids are free to move from station to station as they wish. Some go to their favorites and take their time, others are on a mission to complete all 12 crafts. They are all given a big paper bag that stays in their home classroom and as they complete a craft they put it in their bag. It seems like chaos at the time but it actually works very well.
    Hey anonymous, thanks for the suggestion.
