We decided to do a Dr. Seuss nursery for our son who'll be born in August. We borrowed a projector from a friend who works at a school to draw the main characters and freehanded the rest. I'm really hyped on the way it turned out. We don't have a named picked out yet, so if you have any suggestion feel free to share.(-:
Borrowed Light No. 235 — a pale and illuminating blue Evoking the color of summer skies, Borrowed Light is a wonderfully pale blue named after the delicate light that cascades through small windows and fanlights. It works as well in a room deprived of light as it does in an airy sunroom. This soft and classic tone is perfectly suited to children’s bedrooms, especially when contrasted with Stiffkey Blue on furniture or woodwork. Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones Complementary white: Wevet
AMBROSE THE AVIATOR PENGUIN From an early age all Ambrose every wanted to do was to soar through the air. Everyone said it was impossible - ofcourse penguins can't fly! Determined to prove them wrong, Ambrose secretly took flying lessons and qualified as a pilot. He borrowed a plane and took to the skies, performing wonderful aerobatic stunts and flying low over his astonished troop. What a day! Penguins can't fly? You've never met Ambrose! This quirky and unique little plush Penguin is hand crafted from pure 100% wool felt. He has a warm scarf, a little satchel lined in bright cotton, which closes with a popper to match and of course, as every aviator should, a flying helmet complete with attached goggles. (The lining of the bag and the helmet button trim may differ from the picture, depending what is available). Ambrose is free standing, measuring 24cm to the top of his head. He has safety eyes, but if you would prefer the eyes to be appliqued in felt instead, please let us know, we're happy to substitute. This gorgeous fellow would make a fabulous heirloom gift to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or as a special thank you - or just because you love him! Recommended for age 5 and upwards. Made to order specially for you in a non-smoking and pet free home, this charming plushy would brighten anyone's day and will make a fantastic one-of-a-kind gift for someone special! As a made to order item, we aim to ship to you within approximately 14-21 working days after receipt of your order and will notify you when it's on its way. Your item will be sent via Royal Mail, using their Tracked 24 option which promises delivery within 2 working days. Please bear in mind that once your item is in the postal system, we have no control over how long it will take to get to you, but you can check the current situation with your tracking number. Wool felt stays looking beautiful with minimum attention, apart from a little dusting occasionally, but if necessary, we recommend spot cleaning with a little warm water and a cotton bud. Ambrose will arrive beautifully packaged in a crystal sheer organza bag ready for gifting, which will be placed in a recycled cardboard box filled with honeycomb paper to keep him snug. We ship to UK and USA, but we're happy to ship to other areas - please contact us for shipping price. PLEASE NOTE: The cost of shipping to the USA from the UK has risen dramatically this year, so unfortunately we've had to add an additional price for any second item purchased in the store. If the weight of the two combined items falls within the primary price category, we shall, ofcourse, happily issue you with a refund, or feel free to contact us before placing your order for a combined posting price. Thanks to Jennifer Goldsmith of Frazzy Dazzles for her original design

In a perfect world, we would all have a Godly Play room. It would look something like this: Picture borrowed from Godly Play Deutschland e.V., of which I am a proud member! In case you can't read the German descriptions, the circles in the middle are where the children and the storyteller sit in a circle to hear the story. Directly behind the large circle, representing the Storyteller, is the Focus Table, which as the name suggests, gives the children a visual focal point in the room. Above this story circle are tables where the children can use art materials during the creative phase. The other shelves in the room hold the art materials and the many different Godly Play stories told throughout the year that the children can choose from during the creative phase. That having been said, I only know of a few GP storytellers in Germany that actually have rooms like the one described above. Most of us are religion teachers or children's workers who use borrowed rooms and transport our materials from place to place in suitcases. In my case, I am a children's pastor for a church plant (that doesn't have property of its own) and teach religious clubs at an elementary school. My Godly Play "rooms" are my kitchen, the park in summer, and a borrowed classroom. Even my on-line friend Storyteller in Finland (whose blog Wonderful in an Easter kind of way you should definitely read), who is part of an already established church, doesn't have a GP room and transports her stuff each week. So, if you are thinking of starting Godly Play or Young Children in Worship with some group of children and don't have access to a room to permanently set up as the GP room, don't let that deter you from plunging into the great adventure! Think rather of creating Godly Play "space". Maria Montessori wrote of the necessity of a "prepared environment". This would be an environment that includes aesthetic beauty, structure, appropriate freedom and child-friendly materials. A Godly Play "space", whether it is in the park or in a classroom, needs to have these elements and requires a little forethought. I have to admit that I haven't always gotten it right and my thoughts have evolved in this area.: ) A GP space should be aesthetically pleasing. A disorderly room does not allow the mind be at ease for prayer or meditative thought. If you are in borrowed space, you may have to rearrange some furniture before you begin. (In the Easter Club, the children themselves helped with this each week and it was a bonding experience for us all.) Outdoors in the park, look for an area where trees or bushes provide natural boundaries and where there is less traffic. Godly Play spaces need structure, so that the children know what to expect and are able to build community together. The materials should be positioned in an orderly way that the children can reach them without help from an adult. There should also be a routine to the children's service, so that they learn what comes next without too many surprises. The children should have an appropriate measure of freedom in making decisions about how they want to spend their time. In a permanent Godly Play room, all the stories and all the art materials are available at each worship service. However, in my case, I couldn't possibly haul all of those things around in a bicycle trailer each time. So, I offer a smaller selection of stories, art materials and practical life activities. The children are then still able to make their own decisions about what to work on. A focus table in the room/space is not 100% necessary, but is very helpful for the children. (I obviously didn't have one in the park!) The things on it, such as the Christ candle, Nativity, Cross and Risen Jesus help children to draw connections between the stories and give their eyes a place to rest if they wonder away from the story. A simple focus table in my kitchen. So, prepare your space, wherever it may be, have fun, and let yourself learn (even through mistakes!). If I've left out any aspects that other fellow storytellers feel are important, please feel free to join the conversation.
