The Button Game

Button Game Children’s Activity pdf.

Download and print out the coats on letter sized paper. You will need paper bags to put the buttons in. Place 10 buttons of the same color together and 6 white buttons for bag number one. For bag number two place 10 buttons of a different color and 6 white buttons together. Once you have the buttons placed on to a page, print them out. Next paste or glue them on to cardboard and cut them out. For more than 2 players, use other colors. For each bag all the buttons will need to be the same size, texture, and weight.

HOW TO PLAY: The object of the game is to see which player can put all the buttons on his coat first. After the buttons have been placed in the bag, the players take turns drawing one button from the bag. If a white button is drawn, the player puts it back into the bag and the other player takes his or her turn. The first player to button his coat with buttons is the winner.

Options: Instead of printing out the buttons consider using a penny or quarter to trace circles on to thick white paper and coloring them with crayons or pencils and cutting them out. Or you can use real buttons.

My little garden above is my very first real vegetable growing adventure. In the spring it was cold. And then it rained and was cold and it rained and I didn’t start the plants early enough indoors. When I was making the Champion Horse Kit I was able to get a truck load of horse manure to add to the sandy dirt that we have. The tomatoes, the okra, the beets and the cucumbers, plus the beans are doing okay. And guess what it’s raining again. The pear tree might have one pear on it. It rained so much in the spring that it washed off all the flowers. We had tons of wild black raspberries and they made yummy jelly.

In the beginning there was an idea to create Sunday School Digital Scrapbooking Kits. With the thought in my head I checked out a stack of children’s Bible Stories. ThenI started thinking about Noah’s Ark and how many animals that I would have to draw. I knew then that this was way over my head. How was Jonah and the whale going to look with a child’s head peering out of the whale’s mouth. And what about the great flood or the plagues how was that going to look with a child’s photo. It seemed kind of scary. With that in mind, I focused on the Garden of Eden and more of what paradise might be like.

This took me 3 weeks to do. This is a smaller kit. The more I worked on it the more work it became. Trying to get the colors to match, the concept to work with the elements. Below is the poem that is written inside the apple above. If you would like to use this poem just make sure my name is listed.

The Garden of Life

The garden of life shelters many surprises,
It yields an abundance of colorful shapes and sizes.

Our perspectives once dimmed by the sands of time,
Our journey through life so far to climb.

The sun passed over my bed of flowers,
And brightened my day for many hours.

Come to me in joy, come to me in sorrow,
You’ve given me hope, let me give you tomorrow.

Has the recession affected your household?

I was reading another designer’s blog and decided that maybe I should put my two cents in about the state of the economy and what it has done for me. My full time job was reduced to 36 hours a week back in February and has yet to return. Many people were let go. My husband who is in the housing industry has seen his business come to a screeching halt.

This blog, my email and my website is constantly being bombarded with gmail.com addresses trying to sell me viagara, cialis or extenze. I’m over 50, do you think I need anything enlarged? The only thing I need enlarged is my bank account. Are these people making money off of this? Maybe I’m in the wrong business.

In my spare time I work on scrapbook art. I spend way too much time sitting and this has affected my overall health. But what should I do? Can I get another job? Maybe, but I would have to move to another state. And have you seen the housing market? How long would it take to sell a home? So, when you come to my site and there’s things that you like but not what you’re looking for, feel free to share my web address with anyone that is interested in scrapbooking.
