One of our favorite crafts from last summer...was picked up again with the younger ones Story Sticks

Here the little ones are getting help to peel the bark off and get their sticks ready to use this summer. 

These are the story sticks the kids made last year about their summer...they really are a memory keepsake. 

The kids either wrote a phrase, a sentence or drew a picture to symbolize the event, day or time they wanted to remember . They did these any day or time they felt it was something special about their summer they wanted to remember. At the end of the summer they decorated their sticks and we covered them with shellac.
