Welcome!

As children we learned sharing was good. So I have decided to do just that. I am a homeschool mom of two. My daughter will be in the 6th grade and my son will be entering kindergarten. I have been a Bible class teacher for the little ones for almost 15 years. I love to be creative and over the years have collected many ideas which I have decided to share with you. But you may be wondering why I called my creative blog "theupbox". Well, when my mother is looking for something she always asks herself, "where is it...hmmm...I put it up, but where?" So for one special occasion a few months ago, my brother made my mother an "UP" box for her gift. Yes, it was just a plain cardboard box with "UP" written on the side with a marker. Not overly creative decorating on the box but I certainly give him an -A- for the idea. So now you may look through my creative "UP" box! If you like my ideas tell your friends ...they're free! However if you'd like to show your support, just click on an advertisement. Thanks!

~Leap'n Letters~

All this takes is a blue plastic tablecloth or blue sheet for the pond.  Lily pads cut out of green construction paper with a letter of the alphabet written on each.  Your little "frog" can catch "flies" (wadded pieces of white paper with a letter on each) then leap to the lily pad that matches it. You may also just want to call out the letters.  Best do a few at a time if they are just beginning.
