Fanfaron

Print-at-home paper crafts for kids Fanfaron is named for a fish. Hence, I named him Fanfaron. He was beautiful and he knew it. God is creative.

Read on, the story is a little deeper than you might guess:

"Fanfaron" is a noun, a synonym for "showoff." Ten years ago, I had a gorgeous red beta who, as most betas are, was quite the showoff, particularly when he saw himself in a mirror. When I opened my jewelry shop in 2012, I chose the name Fanfaron because it represents the way I hoped people would feel wearing my jewelry. I believe God ma

de each of us in his image, beautiful in unique ways, both inside and out. May we appreciate our own beauty and that of others instead of wishing for change. Since then, the focus on my shop has morphed into printable crafts for kids. I've kept the name Fanfaron because it still fits. We can see it all around us, in nature, in animals, in our own bodies. He made us in his image. We are all creative in some way. I hope that my paper crafts encourage you to exercise that creativity. May you be proud of what you've created and be excited to show it off!

November is here! Two things I appreciate about this month: 1- It's season of gratitude & choosing to focus on thankfulness. 2- History! Kids enjoy learning about the first Thanksgiving. It's such a fun way to encourage an early love for history. This year I put together a Mayflower printable. Purchase, print, color, and assemble for a fun way to learn about the Pilgrims!
