Disclosure: I received products for review, but all opinions are honest and are my own. I was so excited to hang my new cranberry wreath from Oriental Trading Company. Don't you just love the red contrast against the white door and my reflection as I took the picture? Can you find me? I think this wreath is great for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and I may even leave it up all winter. It even comes in a cardboard wreath box that you can keep for storing your wreath. Another great new product from Oriental Trading Company is this set of Rhyming Game Cards. My kindergartener who is a beginning reader loved the cards and enjoyed trying to read the words on the cards. This is a quick game that we both enjoyed playing. It is really easy to learn and helps children learn to rhyme and even provides practice for beginning readers. The boys loved making these handprint prayer crafts. They are made of sturdy foam and come with foam stickers. The boys love stickers of any kind and really enjoyed making these. This was a good craft for all of the boys ages 2, 4, and 6 because they could all do it mostly on their own. I helped them trace their hands and cut out the hand print, but they were able to do the rest themselves. This is both a fun craft and a great tool to help teach young children how to pray. It comes with pre-printed stickers and blank stickers on which a child can write their own prayer requests. My son didn't quite get the concept of writing prayer requests on the blank stickers, but I wrote exactly what he said and thought it was sweet. We also received these great rosary kits. Everything you need is in the kit - beads, cording, and a wooden cross. We were trying to follow the instructions and space the beads as instructed, but ran out of cording near the end of each rosary. We cut an extra cord and added length so we could finish them and they turned out really nice. I love that when you finish this craft, you have something that you can actually use. I used one of these handmade rosaries at my last Catholic Mom's group meeting. The boys love their rosaries. This little guy learned to say the Hail Mary last month. We practiced it every night at dinner and he learned it for family formation. As you can see Oriental Trading Company has some great new products.
