For the Kids Friday #36

Should I mention that Christmas is only 6 weeks away?
I have been collections LOADS of great holiday ideas that I can't wait to share with you. So stay tuned! I've got to get working on these things myself! How will you be making this season jolly and bright? I am so excited to see all that you have to share!

Here are some of my favorite links from last week's party...

If you've been featured below
grab my A++ and brag about it to your friends :)

And now for the party!

1) I would LOVE for you to first be a follower of my blog. (And why wouldn't you want to be?!)

2) Grab my For the Kids Fridays Button and place it somewhere on your blog. Be sure to link back to me!

3) Link up as many KID-RELATED activities, games, recipes, parties, gifts, clothing you've created, crafts, traditions, lessons, and so on... that you would like to share. Please add a different link each week. They can be old or new... this is just a place to share ideas for our kids to enjoy. Bonus points to those that serve some educational purpose too! Link must be to the specific post, and not your general blog page. Please don't link to your store.

4) Share the love and comment on at least one other link. Everyone loves to get feedback.

That's it! Have fun, and thanks so much for participating!
