From Ice Cream to Apples: August Printables You’ll Love


Happy August Reader!

Can you believe we’re already flipping the calendar to August? (Speaking of calendars, see my PS below.)

As summer winds down, I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of your favorite downloads from the season — these were a hit for classrooms, homes, Sunday school, and everything in between:

🍉 Watermelon Fruit of the Spirit Craft
🍦 Ice Cream "Taste and See" Bible Activity (my son loves when I make paper plate crafts; he's typically the artist behind the scenes)
🗽 Freedom in Jesus Flipbook (you all love the flipbooks! - Should I make more?)

If you've used these with your kids or students, I'd love to see how they turned out!


👀 Looking Ahead to August

With back-to-school season around the corner, August brings new themes like apples, backpacks, kindness, and goal-setting — all through hands-on, creative crafts.

Here’s what people are loving right now as they get ready for a fresh start:

🎒 Backpack Back-to-School Craft
❤️ Good Samaritan Bandage Flipbook
✏️ Godly School Supplies Flipbook

These work great in the classroom, at home, or as quiet time activities to help ease the transition from summer to structure.

I’d watch them out the window, running through the woods and playing in the yard, and dream about...
