Back To School Traditions And Projects
Kissing Hand Cookies and the following Stories work for Parents
at home or for Teachers to use during the first few days of school.
Read my in-depth post about this amazing book
Then read this book with your children for Back To School!
We prepare our children with school supplies, new clothes,
lunch boxes, bike helmets, the works.
However, do we spend enough time preparing them to
treat others with kindness? Do we teach them to look for the new
faces or those who may be a little different and include them
at their lunch table or at recess? This is a great book to read with a
Young Women Group, also. The message is vital.
The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes

I just wanted to let you know that I stumbled across your blog a while back when looking for an idea for Young Women's and I love your blog. I visit often and just want to say thanks for sharing your ideas.
Sorry for the second comment, but wanted to say that I love both books. I have a copy of the Hundred Dresses and I got it hoping to use it in Young Women's, but was thinking of getting more copies and having all the girls read it and then having an activity to go over it. Like a dinner with their mom's and have 3 of the mom's speak about dresses that have had meaning in their life's such as wedding dress, blessing dress, etc. Any other ideas?? Something on a smaller scale? Thanks!
I just read "The Kissing Hand" with my son last night...but the cookies? Brilliant!
I just found your blog from tip junkie. I LOVE the Kissing Hand cookies! My oldest starts first grade on Monday. I'll have to make them this weekend and read the book with him. Thanks for the idea!
I saw this idea over at Tip Junkie and love the cookie idea. We did paper kisses to go along with this book, but I love to take it a step further and make treats too. Great idea.
