Book Description: 
This newly illustrated edition of The Legend of the Sand Dollar renews the wonder and charm of the original and timeless tale written by Chris Auer. With new vibrant artwork from Bad Dog, Marley illustrator, Richard Cowdrey, this holiday classic is brought to life for a new generation. The Legend of the Sand Dollar tells the story of Kerry, as her cousin Jack reveals to her the deeper meaning of Easter hidden within something as small as a sand dollar. This Easter tale reminds everyone everywhere that when Jesus died for us and was resurrected, he promised hope for all.

 My Review:
Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.   All opinions expressed are 100% mine.  Easter is coming!!!  I love spring and I love celebrating the death and resurrection of my Savior!  

 "The Legend of the Sand Dollar" is an adorable story that takes a look deeper at a sand dollar and retells the most important story of all... JESUS!   I think this story would be the perfect one to share on Easter or put in your child's Easter basket.  

 This story has been around for a few years however it is newly updated with new art.   I loved the cover with the bright sunset colors and of course the beagle puppy they used too.... dog lover here! 

 The reason I love this story so much is because it takes a tangible item we can see and then retells such a powerful story that it gives you all the good feels when you focus on Jesus's life, death, and resurrection!  

 Hurry now and get this book now for your Easter Celebrations!   Tell me, what are your Easter plans?

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her
