Faith-Filled Family Fun Blog, Saturday Edition: Adventures with the Psalms

The Friday faith-filled family fun blog is a series of weekly posts with fun activities based around Bible stories. Today's activity is on the topic of the Psalms..

I love the Psalms. They express every imaginable emotion, and I find them to be very comforting. I'd love for my kids to experience the Psalms in the same way, especially as they grow up and experience all sorts of struggles. When is the best time to introduce the Psalms? I think it is now! And if you have read my blog before, you know that I love to have fun with my kids (and sneak in a little learning at the same time). Since the most famous Psalm is the 23rd Psalm ("the Lord is my shepherd"), I think that is a great place to start. And to understand the meaning of the psalm, it makes sense to learn about sheep and shepherds! Have some fun as a family learning about sheep, and talk about Psalm 23 at the same time.

Three Fun Ways to Learn About the 23rd Psalm:

1. Toys

Our family loves having 'family fun nights,' and this week our family enjoyed a fun afternoon and evening with a Switzerland theme!  I think one of my favorite parts was the chocolate-tasting competition (see Monday's post for more about the food), but we had fun with lots of other Swiss activities.

Swiss army knife craft:

After reading books all about Switzerland, we designed our own Swiss army knives using paper and metal brads.

10 easy Father's Day gift ideas for the craft-challenged mom

on Monday, 13 June 2011 in fathers day

Not everyone has the gift of being "crafty."  I was reminded of this fact last night during a conversation with a mommy friend. Some moms, like my friend, find the plethora of amazing craft ideas available online to be rather intimidating.

With my craft-challenged friend in mind, and Father's Day fast approaching, I racked my brain and came up with some simple ideas that require little more than a permanent marker.  (Of course, those with the crafty gene can start with these ideas and get out their glue guns, glitter, gel paints and go all out!  Don't forget to comment about your embellishments!)  Here are ten easy Father's Day gift ideas for the dad in your life.

1.  The baseball slugger dad: Does dad love anything baseball?  Does his perfect Father's Day involve playing catch in the backyard?  Surprise him with a baseball, cap or mitt autographed by your kid or kids.  Little ones can scribble, and mom can write the year.  (Remember, baseball player signatures are often illegible too!)

2.  The golf-pro dad: Get a package of golf balls (or dig out the ones from the garage).  Let kids draw a funny face on each ball.  Consider picking up a plastic sand bucket from your local dollar store, and present dad with a very special bucket of golf balls!

10 simple activities to keep kids entertained during your memorial day picnic

Memorial Day and picnics seem to go hand and hand! With the unofficial start of summer, most people are ready to kick back and relax. But what if you have restless kids in your midst? How can you keep the kids entertained and the grown-ups relaxed?

Here are 10 ideas to keep the kids busy and entertained:

1. Obstacle course: Find an outlet for that excess energy—set up an obstacle course in your backyard and let the kids race. It can be simple; set up a few objects to jump over, go under, around or through. When they tire of the obstacle course you designed, let them design their own!

2. Object hide and seek: Instead of people hiding, hide a few objects in the backyard and have the kids seek them out.

Are you looking for a simple craft or activity to try with your kids?  I made these cute (and easy!) bunnies with my boys.
Ingredients:
Ice cream cones (cup style)
White/vanilla frosting
Marshmallows (regular sized and mini-marshmallows)
Red hots, jelly beans, or other small candies
black frosting (or licorice)
Directions:
Turn ice cream cone cups upside down and cover with frosting (my boys enjoyed this activity, especially sampling the frosting!).  Put one regular sized marshmallow on top of the cone for a head (adhere with frosting).  Add four mini-marshmallows on top for the ears (see picture).  Add two mini-marshmallows on the front for the front paws, and one on the back for the tail.  Add facial details, "glueing" candy on with frosting.  (We used red hot candies and jelly beans for the nose, and black decorator's frosting for the eyes and whiskers—but other candies or licorice for the whiskers would work!)  Enjoy your cute bunnies as a decoration for your Easter table!
