Calling all moms....are you intersted?

Okay, so has anyone ever heard of finch family games/file folders?? The main website is located here: Finch Family Folders ... anyways- I have bought several (about 10-12) of their books and have been making these games/file folders to entertain my kids for fun learning games, sacrament meeting, FHE, on rainy days, or just for fun. I had a couple moms (and even friends w/o kids yet) say they would love to get together, do a girls night, and make these. I think it would be fun too, so I am just trying organize a night of fun, treats, and well...coloring! I would be more than happy to get all the supplies (markers, crayons, and colored pencils I already have) make the copies, and buy the folders for each one, and then you can pay per project you make. I would do only cost, which I am guessing is about $2.00 each, then you pay to put it together, because laminating gets pricey, depending where you take it. Anyways, my kids love these things!







The little pieces have velcro behind them, so you can remove the shapes, tooles, house pieces, fishies, whatever the file folder has, and then they can put them back together. I have ones for preschool age children too, that aren't 'church related'. They are alot of fun! Even my daycare kids love these things! I jsut ordered the newest book, which is focused around this years primary theme! I am excited to start making more of these fun folders for my kids. Its even fun to pull on out, and do a FHE on the item inside (example, Nephi's ship shapes...and teach about Nephi building a ship, then do the shapes at the end of FHE!) Leave a comment and let me know if you'd be interested in joing our little GNO (girls night out)!

Although I'd love to join your GNO, I live too far away, but I am interested in making some too! I've wanted to for some time now! Thanks for the info!
You are such a supermom! I don't know how you do all you do!

I love to color and I also have a bunch of these for when my son gets a little older.I know we have not talked since high school, and I am not sure were you live. But if I am close, I would be more then happy to come and color.

I love these and my kids love them too! (Thanks to you!) I laminated some recently and took them to the library and it wasn't a bad price... only 40cents a ft. Just call the library 15 minutes before you get there so they can turn the machine on so it can be warming up. Its way pricey if you go anywhere else. Count me in... I would love to make more! Let me know when...

Hi- I found your blog while looking for some day-care for a friend on Craigslist... I know- kind of random. :) But I love these little file-folder things and I'd love to make some! It might be weird to have me come to your GNO, since you have no idea who I am- haha... But I'd love to make some... Either order them from you, or get this book somewhere. Let Me know when you're going to make them, or if I can get some of the info for them! Thanks a lot!
