Fruit and Veggie Stamping

Gather a variety of fruits and vegetables (I used corn, celery, a pepper, and an apple), paper plates, paint, construction paper or drawing paper, and a knife. (I used a different color paint for each type of vegetable, but you do not have to do that. You can use as many or as few colors as you’d like.)

Prep the vegetables for painting by cutting them as needed.

Put some paint in each of the paper plates.

Stamp away! Have fun dipping the foods in the paint and using them as stamps on the paper.

I am so glad God made the land and plants! They give us yummy food to eat, like these fruits and veggies, and they’re even fun to paint with them! What are some of your favorite fruits and vegetables?

Good Works

Gather sticky notes and a pen.

Write different body parts on sticky notes. (Head, hands, heart, eyes, mouth, ears, legs, etc.)

Help your child identify the body part written on each sticky note and put the sticky notes in the correct place. The game is over when they have placed all of the sticky notes on the right body part.

Talk about how they can use each of these body parts to do good works. Say to your child, “You can use your heart to do good works. You can use your hands to do good works,” etc. Then repeat the memory verse with your child as many times as they would like. “God made us to do good works.” Ephesians 2:10.

Pretend Picnic

Gather a blanket, play food, play plates, cups, utensils, etc. and plush animals.

Place the plush friends around the outside of the blanket.

Lay the blanket on the floor and let your 

child help you “set the table” using the play food and accessories.

Time for lunch! Have fun sharing your food with all of your lunch friends.

Even though a boy only had 2 fish and 5 loaves for his lunch, he was able to help feed 5,000 people by sharing! Wow. I’m so glad he was willing to help feed those people. We should always be willing to help too!

King For A Day

Gather a piece of construction paper, crayons, a marker, and scissors.

Draw a simple crown shape onto the construction paper and cut it out.

Talk with your child and make a list of things they would do if they were king for a day using the marker.

Let them color the crown with crayons.

Even though Josiah was just a kid when he was king, he still did what was right. And even though you are a kid, you can do what’s right too!

Healthy Owl Toast

Gather a piece of bread, peanut butter, 2 clementines, raisins or craisins, an apple, a plate, a knife, and a toaster.

Toast the bread.

Spread peanut butter onto the bread.

Cut two round pieces out of a clementine and place them on the bread to be the eyes.

Place two raisins in the center of each eye, as well as one underneath the eyes to be the nose.

Peel the other clementine and place one on each side of the bread to represent wings.

Cut two small pieces of apple and place them at the bottom of the bread to represent feet.

Daniel made wise choices by eating the way God wanted him to. He ate healthy foods, just like the owl toast we made today. And just like Daniel did things God’s way, we can do things God’s way too!

Fort Fun

Gather sheets, blankets, pillows, sofa cushions, etc. in a 

room with a couch, chairs, or a bed. 

You can also use weights to help hold the blankets in place 

and a flashlight to help you see while in the fort.

Make a fort using the items you’ve gathered. 

This can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like it to be. Get creative! 

Pretend it’s raining or snowing and climb in the fort to protect yourselves. 

You can use the flashlight to help you see!

 Talk about how the fort is protecting you from pretend rain or snow. Miriam protected her baby brother by placing him in a basket along the reeds. We can protect others too! 

Listening Walk

Gather spiral notebook or a clipboard with a piece of paper and a pen.

Go outside with your child/children and ask them what they hear. Tell them that they have to listen very carefully!

Write down what they hear! If they need help, you can point out birds chirping, dogs barking, cars driving, the wind blowing, airplanes flying, etc. This activity is really fun!

Tell them they have great listening skills. They can listen, just like Samuel listened to God. It’s very important that we listen to Him!
