Sorry, it would probably be nicer if the pictures were more up close, but oh well. First we have an outer space page. I used beads to make 'loops' for the space ship to fly under and over. The space ship is attached to the page using gimp. I have so much gimp from when I worked at Camp Sankanac. Anyway, originally I planned on having the string connected from one planet to the next but then decided Will might have more fun with it if it could fly wherever he wanted it to go. So, it is only connected to the first planet.
The next page is a football page. I made button holes up and down the football to loop the shoe lace on. I got the shoe lace for free :-) Haha...I am doing my best to make this book low cost. Anyway, I didn't sew the shoe lace in place. I still might, maybe just at the bottom loops. That way Will can loop it in and out, too. Then obviously, he can learn how to tie a bow using this page.
Both these pages I just made up on my own. I didn't follow any pattern. My next page (a pirate page) I am following a pattern, though. Hopefully I will be posting that up soon for you all to see!
Before I finish off this post, I have to share a short story. Sunday morning one of my Sunday School students came up to me. He asked 'When the earth was created, God just said it right?' I said yes. He said "So, He just said it and it happened?' I said yes. Then he said, 'That book lied.' I asked him what book and he said he read that there were a bunch of rocks and dust and it exploded and the earth was created. Then he asked me why people would want to believe a lie. I told him some people just don't want to believe what God said. It was so exciting. Knowing that we believe what we believe because that's what God said was enough for him. I guess this is the child like faith Christ spoke about. :-)
