I'm planning on using this as a project for my nephew's class at school. Are your files available to be purchased? Thanks, I just love it and his teacher did too!
I'm sort of glad you didn't receive my request as I discovered that the tags were too small for kindergarteners to handle. So I created a book about 9" tall and the pockets were about 4" wide. The tag figures then were about 7.5" tall and about 3.5" wide. This worked out great! The kids and their parents loved the finish product. I punched lots of stars with glitter paper and they glued them all over the front cover, and then I used my Cricut to cut out the title Away In the Manger. It was just perfect. I found Nativity story board story books at the dollar store, and purchased one for each child. I then read the story as they pulled out their finished tags in their books, much like a puppet. What fun, and all of this thanks to you!!! Diane
I'm actually kind of glad you didn't receive my request as when I tried making the angel I knew that kindergarteners would have a difficult time w/such small pieces. So I redid it with the album being 9"tall, and each pocket about 4" or so wide. The kids had a blast, and I found Nativity kids board books at the dollar store, and bought them each one. I read from the book and they took out each tag as I came to that part in the story. Thanks for such a great project!
Here are the finished albums and the inside pockets.
This is awesome! I'm trying to think of something to give my Sunday School kids and this would be perfect.
