For the next several days I will be posting about the
World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in
Sydney, Australia. Remember how we
helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.
Hi Cocoa - I LOVE your blog! Where do you find the time????? I think you must forgo sleep to do all that you do! I have 8 children and we homeschool too. I love these flannel board stories and would like to print some off - just a query about the 'flannel board' - what is it and is it something i can construct here at home?

Nicki,
ReplyDeleteThe easiest way to explain what a flannel board is is to look at a picture.
Here's a tutorial that shows how to make one.
Flannel Board Tutorial
I've been toying with the idea of doing this myself. Glad I didn't! Thanks. Also, I use a white board and put magnets on the back of my figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this wonderful pages and in full color. I cut them out laminated them and placed a piece of magnet tape in the back so i can used them with my magnet board which you can buy at home depot or lowe's for 10.00 for a 24x36. I just thought to share this idea.. i am more for magnets than flannel - lol.
ReplyDeletethanks Again, Jeaneth
Thank you for taking the time to color these and for sharing them! My family home evenings just got a lot more fun because of you. I am truly grateful!
