CHILLIN' OUT WITH DECEMBER BEADS OF COURAGE IDEAS!!!
Now a "Business Plan" bead may not sound too cool to a kid (or to me either, for that matter...) but Cookie beads? Bingo? What about National Tie month (great for twisties!!!) or National Dice Day??? No one said that the dice had to be fuzzy!!! OMG - There's actually a CAT HERDER's day! I never knew that there were enough cat herders out there to have a day named after them!!
This stuff is great, guys! print it out, stick it on your wall, and if you get stuck for an idea for the kiddos, just, um, look at the calendar!
