Helping Japan Auction- Lot of 4 Books! LAST CHANCE!

by

If you are new to our Helping Japan Auction, you can read the announcement post here. You can also find all of the Auction Posts here. As lesson plans editor, I have had the opportunity to review some great books. Now, I would like to put them all together in a nice little package for you to bid on and help out Japan while receiving some amazing reads! Here is a list of the books along with my reviews.

Live More, Want Less ; 52 Ways to Find Order In Your Life by Mary Carolomagno-  Read Review Here

The Cleaner Plate Club; More than 100 Recipes for Real Food Your Kids Will Love by Beth Bader &Ali Benjamin- Read Review Here

The Nature Connection; An Outdoor Workbook by Clare Walker Leslie – Read Review Here

Handmade Home by Amanda Blake Soule- I did not review this book, its one out of my personal stash, but I absolutely LOVE it,  and would love  to pass it on to a good home!

All of the books are in great condition, and I will mail them out to the highest bidder together as soon as the bid is received through paypal.  Here is a little bit more information about the bidding process and how it will work:

ALL PROCEEDS will go to The Salvation Army specifically for the relief effort in Japan due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami.

If you live in the United States Craft Gossip will pay your shipping so that every penny out of your pocket goes directly to Japan. If you live outside of the United States you may bid, however you will be responsible for the shipping cost as well.  At the conclusion of the auction, the highest bid will be the winner and Paypal payment will be due at that time.  If the winning bidder doesn’t make the payment within 3 days, we will select the next highest bidder. The highest bidder will send the payment to [email protected] via PayPal. (If you are overseas, postage will be added to your winning bid.)

BIDDING STARTS at $15 which is not even the cost of just one of these books, but hopefully your generosity will allow for a higher ending bid and we’ll be able to make a difference. The total value of this lot of books is over $65! To place a bid, leave your amount in the comments along with a valid email address so we can get in touch with you.  Bidding ends on April 7, 2011.

Thank you again for being the best, loyal and most GIVING readers! Happy Bidding !

Grinch Activities and Crafts

I really thought I had written more Grinch content than I seem to have over here. The only specific Grinch thing I’m finding is this Grinch science activities post. That’s definitely not enough of the green guy, so let’s look at some more Grinch activities and crafts for the classroom.

Make it a full Grinch Day in your classroom with these ideas and activities from The Friendly Teacher. I’m a sucker for a good Venn diagram! Michelle J Designs has some cute Grinch printable activities you can include, such as a dot to dot, Grinch trivia, word games and more.

Younger students can practice their scissor skills with these printable cutting pages from 3 Boys and a Dog. They also have a super cute Grinch code and decoding worksheets where kids can match the symbols to the letters and read the secret message. Christmas Countdown has a lot of great Grinch content, too, including a fun Grinch quiz that has questions about both the book and the movie. (Some of these activities are better for adults, but there are word searches and movie quotes and things, too.)

Grab some Grinch coloring pages for art area or to use at home from Cute Animals Coloring Pages.

I’ve done one easy Grinch craft that I shared on my blog when I made these as a craft for a Christmas party for my daughter’s class many, many years ago. You might have to order the green chenille stems in the correct color, but other than that it’s pretty easy to source the materials and easy to make as well.

You can also make a Grinch face with Popsicle sticks, like this one from Rainy Day Mum.

And this one is a bit of a deep cute, but you can make wreaths like the Whos have in the book with this tutorial from Babble Dabble Do. They’re so cute and not as obviously Grinchy, which is kind of fun.
