A Gingerbread House Playdate

A Gingerbread House Playdate
Looking for a fun way to engage the neighborhood kids–or just your own tribe?

Try this fun “gingerbread” house craft. We’ve even had teens get in on the action with these. After all, what “kid” doesn’t love frosting and candy?

This is not a gluten-free craft, but you can always make it gluten-free by using cardboard as the sides and hot glue as the cement. It won’t be edible, but it would still be fun. (I’ve done it! You can frost cardboard!)

Teach Kids to be Thankful for Life {Free Resources}

By Leave a Comment

Check out the free Wonderfully Made printables available at Thinking Kids! Posters, Scripture memory cards, and a lapbook! Teach your kids what the Bible AND science say about life in the womb!
As we approach Thanksgiving, we tend to increasingly talk to our kids about gratitude. I’ve always been amazed by the way our bodies function–it’s truly incredible. One of the most amazing things to me is the way that God forms a baby’s body within the womb.

Have you ever wanted to teach your child about the way he or she developed in the womb, but you didn’t quite have the proper materials to make it a concrete lesson for them? Do you want your kids to understand that they’re wonderfully made by the Creator of the Universe–formed intentionally and for a purpose? Do you want your kids to understand what it means to be born again?

I have three free printable resources available for you to use to help your children learn the incredible truth about their own creation….. Continue reading

Setting the Course in Intentional Parenting

Setting the Course in Intentional Parenting
My kids and I love taking a trip to our local arboretum. Each spring we hike up to see the magnolia and cherry blossoms. I suppose we could wander around, hoping that we would eventually find the sections we seek in the 187 acre park.  Instead, we take a map. We get to see the magnolias, the cherries, and a myriad of other cool things. We achieve our purpose, map in hand.

We have road maps, hiking maps–even my favorite bookstore has a map! Why, then, do we sometimes fail to set a course in parenting? Why do we worry about the minor issues, and forget about the big ones? How do we become so wrapped up in the insignificant issues and forget about the foundational ones?

Parenting intentionally can be tough. Here’s a list of some important things to remember. A map, if you will….. Continue reading

Born to Serve: Teaching Love in Action

Born to Serve ~ Teaching Love in Action

“So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough.  Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”  James 2:17

We live in a world of narcissism. Western children are showered with the best clothing, toys, parties and entertainment money can buy. We take our children on vacation, we make sure their comforters match their sheets and we ensure there are plenty of pretty packages under the tree on Christmas morning. Today, the word ‘parenting’ is often nearly synonymous with ‘order-taker’. We wait on our children as if they were royalty.

To what end? What are we teaching our children? Most importantly, is it Biblical? Shouldn’t we teach children to serve others?
