Jan - Imagination Wk 2

Stuffie Sleepover
This activity was a huge hit, and lots of fun! Even if you did not have a Stuffie join our 'camp' at the church, the videos are still great for kids to watch. You can get another peek inside the church building, and learn alongside the Stuffies about our UU principles. 

Here are the videos:
