For a couple of years I've clipped articles from the Friend magazine and put them in a binder to use for FHE lessons, now I'll use these themes to organize them. Loved this!
Great idea!! Wish we had pinterest when my kids were younger!! So fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea, Angela! We did something similar, but not nearly as organized, when our children were little. We also spent one FHE each month studying a different country with its customs, food, games, how they celebrated the holidays, etc. It was fun!
