“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:2222While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22)
Enjoying the different seasons is always fun, even as an adult; but having children to celebrate each new season with makes it extra special. It seems like summer should never be boring because the weather is usually nice enough to enjoy the outdoors. But really, I remember as a kid those were some of my longest days. Besides the normal picnics, parks, and beaches, here’s another idea you might want to try with your children.
Write each child’s name in glue on a piece of construction paper and then have him place objects on the glue. Your children will have their own creative wall hanging, and it will also help them become familiar with the letters in their names. Of course this can be done with a design of some sort, too. When we were in school we did this with glitter, but it’s also fun to do it with a number of other things such as sand, cheerios, noodles, beans, shells, pebbles, sticks, or whatever else you come across. If the children are older you can have them do this with a verse. It’s a fun way to get them to remember the verse, and you can hang it on the wall. It will also get them a little closer to copying out the Bible, which the Lord told every king to do! (Deut. 17:1818And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: (Deuteronomy 17:18)).
