C is about 4 1/2 now, and in watching him at church I've come to the decision that it is time we move to more gospel centered "entertainment" for sacrament meeting. I've kinda been letting the toy cars, toy story figurines, and monster coloring books slide. Don't get me wrong--I'm not judging anybody else. You do what you gotta do to make it work for your family. I just think my calm little guy is ready to make a change.
My hope is that I can make it fun enough then C will roll with the change. About 8 months ago we decided to make him wait until after the sacrament was passed to pull his stuff out, and that has been going pretty well. We have always taken his Thomas bag (a little backpack with Thomas on it that seems to entrance other children for some reason) to church with all his sacrament meeting stuff. So I decided the first step was to have a church-ier bag.
I have sort of an obsession to felt right now, so this is what I came up with.
I'm very grateful to my mother-in-law for the amazingly sharp sewing scissors she gave me, even if they do make the felt addiction possible. I think I just love felt because you can create with it without stressing how the edges will be finished.
Next step: church-centered file folder games. Anybody have any suggestions??

Very cute!! We have the same "not tell after the sacrament and need to be church related activities" rules too. Some weeks are better than others. :)
You will be at my house in 2 weeks with those super sharp scissors and all your felt knowledge so you can help me make those bags for my unrighteous children, do you understand? I really mean it.
The bag is so cute!
