Sponsor Theme Pack ~ Gender Neutral Ages 2-8, Bees

Much of the artwork/activity sheets in this printable pack came from the US Forest Service Natural Inquirer Website. There are free downloadable magazines available on that site, as well, in English and in Spanish--they make great items to send along to your Compassion Kids! You can order hard copies, also (they are free!!).  Great for homeschooling!  The website for the Natural Inquirer is www.naturalinquirer.org

The Devotional Verse for this packet is Psalm 50:11- I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.

Sponsor Writing Packet--for Teen Boys! Space theme, with Devotional Verse

Here's a new packet. I know that sometimes it's hard to know what to send teen boys. This packet has space-themed stationery, 2 bookmarks from www.NASA.gov, and a paper model for your teen boy to cut out and make (please note--the model came from www.NASA.gov and I have not tested the model, so if you are concerned about how it turns out, please try it yourself before sending it!)

In addition to the "goodies", there is a page with a lovely devotional verse from Psalms, with a space-related theme.  The verse is given in English, Spanish, and French.  The English translation is from "The Message," which I appreciate for it's modern-day resonance.

Thanks for dropping in!  Next up--a packet for teen girls, and a generic packet for any age group.

Free Printable Sponsor Packets!

So the other day I started by posting templates for allowing young children to engage in the writing experience. Today I'm excited to post the first of several downloadable, printable sponsor packets!

I know sometimes it is hard to round up all the links, sites, and printables in one place and get them ready to send. I'd like to offer these up as one solution, especially for first-time sponsors who may need some ideas to get started.

Each packet is themed and has a stationery sheet, several coloring pages, and a game or maze (or both!).

Today's sponsor packet is butterfly and flower themed (don't worry sponsors of boys--a soccer theme is next up!). This packet has stationery, flower and butterfly coloring sheets, a memory matching game, and a maze.

See her...that one, over there. Yes--her! The little one with the black curls and the shining brown eyes. I know! She really IS cute. What a vivacious smile she has, and that laugh!

25 seconds

She seems to love those yellow flowers. She has them tucked into her patchwork skirt and tied into a crown on her head. She's a princess in her smooth, unblemished bare feet!

20 seconds

Up close she smells like honey and berries and a summer afternoon, all sun-warmed and soft. I hear her giggling with her friend now, and she is talking of the future and of changing the world.

15 seconds

She is praying now, isn't she? Bowed head, curls shifting in the gentle, hot breeze. I hear those whispers of hope for her family and friends in the warm breath as I pass near her sweet rosy lips. Close enough to feel the gentle rhythm of her precious heart.

10 seconds

Her toes are soft in the dirt, her ankles warm in the sun and dirt. Her prayers barely pause when I brush her skin. I don't think she even noticed me, even with the little welt that now marks her brown calf.

5 seconds

I'm sorry, truly I am. She seemed so hopeful, so aware, such a gift,now a statistic. Don't blame me, a mosquito has to eat. Besides, it's preventable, you know... you could've protected her.
