welcome

One of the responsibilities of a parent is to guide their children on a spiritual journey that introduces them to their Creator. Sound intimidating? It is! ALL parents face challenges and need sources of inspiration, encouragement, and plain old help. So here is a way for you to connect with and build on what your children are learning in kidSPACE. Use it to expand on your ideas, skills and influence as a parent....kidSPACE konnections!

Bored Kids, Bathtub Scuba and Noah's Ark

So how is everyone doing out there? I ventured out this morning briefly and the water laying everywhere is quite astounding. I wasn't alive for Hurricane Agnes so this is the worst flooding I can remember in my lifetime. And with all of the water came cancellations of school and activities, which means day 2 of being stuck inside with nothing to do! So here are some ideas to make this time fun instead of dreadful-

-kidSPACE activities: pull out your monthly cue cards or Godtime cards and do some of those activities with your kids
-Noah's Ark-perfect time for an in depth study on that story! There's nothing like firsthand experience to make stories come alive for children
-Pitch a Tent: put up an indoor tent or use blankets and sheets to make an indoor fort
-Baking Bonanza: bake cookies or soft pretzels together
-Fitness Fun: bust out a fitness video and do it together
-Balloon Volleyball: blow up some balloons, make a net with string or rope, and play volleyball
-Twenty Questions: one player thinks of a famous person, place or thing and others have 20 questions to guess
-Indoor Scuba Session: get kids in their bathing suits, put lots of water toys in the bathtub and let the fun begin



Have fun and stay safe!
