In the active discuss with your little ones about ways to serve and write them on the hand. For older children have them draw a picture of ways they can serve.

• God’s forgiveness
• something you need
• relationship with God
• a sibling
• relationship with others
• friends
• our church
• something you want
• a family member
• health

You will need:

• Q-tips
• Worksheets
• Washable Paint

Generally, children learn to identify colors by 18 months. They can name different colors by the age of 2.5-3 years. However, sometimes it can be frustrating to parents as teaching colors is not as easy as other activities. Songs are a great way to teach colors to little ones. Find a tune and get creative with it!

• Food coloring (and liquid watercolors) will mix with water, but not fat.
• Dish soap breaks the surface tension of milk, allowing the color molecules to flow more freely.
• Dish soap will bind to the fat in the milk and create soap-fat molecules that shove the color molecules around the bowl in spectacular designs (aka fireworks!)
• Sticking the q-tip into the bowl also contributes to the currents of color and milk.
