Names of Jesus Ornaments

ornaments complete

Last year, after coming across this wonderful tutorial, our family decided to make ornaments with the names of Jesus on them to share at Christmas time.  It was definitely a whole family project – but so rewarding in the end!  After assembling many to give away, we then agreed to work together to create one more complete set to display on our own Christmas tree. 

Want to take a peek at the process?  We pretty much followed the instructions in the tutorial at Today’s Fabulous Finds, but I created our own name set with a different font. 

 

1) Gathering the supplies:

(large paint sticks, scrapbook paper, printed names, brown ink pad, Q-tips, chocolate colored spray paint, sandpaper, Modge Podge, foam brush, wire, ruler, small hand saw, drill, pliers)

Creating the Names of Jesus Ornaments was a memorable time of working cooperatively as a family – AND we now have a great visual reminder of who Jesus is to display each Christmas season.

Christmas Scripture Booklets

Christmas Scripture Booklets

Are you looking for a way for your younger children to interact more with Scripture as you read the Biblical accounts of Jesus’ coming to earth as a baby?   Try Christmas Scripture Booklets for coloring and Christmas Story Sequencing for retelling! 

Last year, we used The Christmas Story Booklet based on Luke 2 to assist our 4 year old in memorizing a portion of Luke 2:1-20.  This year, he is continuing to make progress with this passage. 

Luke_2_Booklet

Now, there are 3 additional Christmas Scripture Booklets!  We are not planning on memorizing these passages at this time, but desire to read them during this Christmas season.  Here is a suggested reading order so that the events are read chronologically.  (I used the exact Scripture for each booklet.)

Jesus’ Birth Foretold (Portions of Luke 1 and Matthew 1)
The Christmas Story (Luke 2) 
The Naming of Jesus (Luke 2, continued)
In God’s Hand (Matthew 2)

 

Make sure to print out the Christmas Story Sequencing Sheets as well!

CoverSample 

The Christmas Story Sequencing Sheets correspond with the Scripture passages from the Christmas Story Booklets.  These are great for reviewing and retelling the Biblical accounts!  Color versions of the pictures would work well in a pocket chart.  In addition, black and white student sheets are included for individual work.

These printables are available over at the Hubbard’s Cupboard Christmas page.

May these FREE resources from Hubbard’s Cupboard bless you and your children this Christmas as you read from His Word and learn more about Jesus and His coming as the Savior.

Giving Tuesday – Booklets for Bibles

           Seasonal Jokes Cover Names of Jesus Cover

 

A couple weeks ago, our oldest girls came to us desiring to do some type of work to raise money for a charity during this Christmas season.  After ruling out a few ideas, what should they finally choose?  Well, it is often said that our children are always watching us and will model what we do.  So, following in the footsteps of their mama, they decided to create Christmas related materials for parents and teachers. =)

Booklets for Bibles

Please assist us in raising money to help print Bibles through Wycliffe for the Mayogo people in their heart language. They live in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

To read more about this project click the link below https://www.wycliffe.org/giftcatalog/projects/give-scripture-for-the-mayogo

Our goal is to raise $120 by selling Countdown to Christmas Math Puzzles: Names of Jesus  and  Countdown to Christmas Math Puzzles: Seasonal Jokes.  This amount will allow for 20 New Testaments to be printed for the Mayogo people.

 

These booklets have 24 different puzzles with math problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to figure out either a name of Jesus as found in Scripture or the answer to a fun seasonal joke. They were designed with 3rd-4th graders in mind.

~The Hubbard girls

The girls have been working hard to have these materials ready for December 1st so that you, dear teachers and moms, can have them for use with your children.

Booklet Making
Won’t you, please support them in reaching their goal?

The booklets are available for purchase at our Joyful Heart Learning store for just $3.00 each.  All proceeds from either of these products this Christmas season will go toward the girls’ goal to give Bibles to the Mayogo people.

Please come explore the fully redesigned website of
Hubbard’s Cupboard!Print

What you will discover:

  • An overall CLEANER, UPDATED DESIGN with improved NAVIGATION
    The navigation has been flattened, allowing the pages and resources that are most used by visitors to be brought to the top, making them quickly accessible!  Our hope is that we have created a more user friendly experience.
  • Brand New LOGO and TAGLINE
    We worked with a wonderfully talented designer to create a custom logo for Hubbard’s Cupboard.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the friendly, whimsical design!
  • COORDINATED SITES
    We hope to lessen confusion among visitors about the three coordinated sites that I’ve been working on over the years.  There is Hubbard’s Cupboard (the main website), Joyful Heart Learning (a landing site for purchasable resources), and Joy to the Heart (my personal blog).
  • MOBILE FRIENDLY
    Hubbard’s Cupboard design is now created to display well on mobile devices!

Preparing for a Change

November 25, 2015 by 4 Comments

Since July of 2000, Hubbard’s Cupboard has had an online presence in the education community.  That’s 15 years!  During the majority of those years, visitors have come to rely on finding free resources for home and classroom use by landing on this familiar homepage…

original_design

Throughout the years, technology has advanced considerably!  As hard as it is to believe, at the creation of Hubbard’s Cupboard, there were no blogs, no iPads, nor mobile phones and apps.  As technology changed, although the website grew in content, the design and framework remained the same.  Gradually, it became challenging to maintain and make updates to the pages using the old software program.  And, more recently, there have been issues with viewing the website on mobile devices. Also, over the years, the site has grown and bulged, making it difficult for visitors to quickly locate the most loved resources.  After much prayer and research, it was determined that Hubbard’s Cupboard was in need of a major updating. 

We are in the midst of preparing for a BIG change.  It has been a labor of love for my husband and I to completely transfer all content from the original website and to redesign fifteen years of work.

A quick sneak peak…

We are excited that we are getting sooooo close to sharing a fully redesigned Hubbard’s Cupboard with all of you and will make an announcement as soon as it is ready!
