When I first joined Pinterest about three years ago, I spent time every night scrolling through and pinning various things. And then I lost interest. It was too overwhelming! It also seemed like everything I tried was a "Pinterest Fail". Remember my Lego birthday cake for Sam?
Now I usually get on Pinterest when it's time for me to plan for Vacation Bible School, Rustic Youth Camp, Back-to-School Celebration, and sometimes at Christmastime.
I have just spent over an hour on Pinterest looking at rainbow craft and art ideas! I am so happy with what I have found. I discovered all of these really neat websites full of cool art projects for children. And since I am not creative, I am so excited over finding these fun ideas! I have already begun planning our Back-to-School Celebration, and I have not even ordered the first schoolbook for next year.
We began our VBS today, and the first day was a success. Our theme is Running With Jesus, and as you can imagine, this theme (of running) was not too hard for me. We are using a rainbow theme for our RYC class this year, and that is why I was looking for rainbow-related crafts. So many to choose from!
I need to close the Pinterest window and start actually creating a plan.
It is a wonderful tool if used wisely. Otherwise it can be a great time waster.
ReplyDeleteDiana, you are exactly right! Which is why I have moved on from Pinterest today. :) However, I did pin many great ideas for both RYC and my own homeschool. Now, if I ever take the time to look at those pins again and do the activities…..
