Literacy
Talk about the sound that the letter “Y” makes.
Think of other words that start with the “Y” sound: yes, yellow, yummy, yucky, yogurt, yard, yo-yo, yesterday, yam, year, yell, yard
See if your child can find the “Y” on the cover of each of the Yarn Books you read.
We love the Leap Frog Letter Factory Movie for learning the letter sounds!

Discipleship
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Something to talk about: Look at a piece of yarn. Notice how it is is not just one thread, but many. Separate out the pieces. Ask your kids which they think is strong: one piece of thread or many threads twisted together?
In the same way, God has made us for family, for community, for a body of believers. We are not meant to go it alone; we need each other. Together we are stronger.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I pray it is a blessing for your family!
In Christ alone,
Trish
