Children have a lot of plans.
Some plans are made for them.
Some plans they make for themselves.
Still other plans may be in their hopes and dreams.
This activity lets your child make a puzzle
and that puzzle gives you opportunity to
talk about some of those plans.
This is a simple activity and only requires a few supplies:
A piece of poster board or card stock.
Some crayons, markers or paint,
depending on how messy you want to be.
Scissors or an exacto knife (for the parents)
Laminating sheet (optional)
Magnets (optional)
First decide what picture to draw to make the puzzle.
It could be a picture of what your child wants to be when he grows up.
Or it could be a picture of somewhere your child would like to visit;
a place you could plan to go. Or something your child would like to do.
Draw the picture on the poster board or cardstock
(If you chose to laminate the puzzle, do that next.)
Use the scissors or exacto knife (adults only)
to cut the picture into puzzle pieces.
(If you chose to use the magnets, stick to the back of each puzzle piece)
As your child puts the puzzle pieces together,
talk about how God fits His plan for our life together,
one piece at a time!
