Why this blog?

I decided to finally do Baha'i Classes for my kids. I've been meaning to.... I've been meaning to....

I must admit that I need, for my own enthusiasm level, and I believe the kids need stories with illustrations and crafts more engaging than coloring sheets.

This blog will be a record for me of what I've done with them, in case I'm asked to do it again for another group of wee ones. And also because I just love internet gadgets and Facebook-y type things. ;) And maybe it will be of help to someone else saying, "I'm not an educator! How do I do this?!"

I am pretty much flying by the seat of my pants and cobbling together classes from sources such as Ruhi Books, Brilliant Star Magazine, a book called The Light of a Good Character, library books, and internet searches.

My youngest boys are 3 and 5 years old. I totally welcome advice!

Our small group ususally starts Sunday mornings with prayers and music (I have a Baha'i songbook I made for us a few years ago, and I kinda-sorta play guitar. It's a glorified autoharp in my hands.) and then breaks into groups for classes.
