Family Activity: Watercolor Heart

WHAT YOU NEED: activity page, watercolor paint, paintbrushes, bowl of water

WHAT YOU DO: 

• Before the Activity: Print off the activity page and give it to your child. Then fill one bowl with water and place it on a table with the paint and paintbrushes.
• During the Activity: Encourage your child to paint the heart on their page.

WHAT YOU SAY: 

• During the Activity: “You have a beautiful heart on your paper. Written inside is the memory verse. Let’s say it together, ‘I am alive for ever and ever,’ Revelation 1:18. Use the watercolor paints to fill your heart with beautiful colors. Then we’ll let it dry and put it somewhere to help you remember the verse!”
• After the Activity: “Let’s say our memory verse one more time! ‘I am alive for ever and ever,’ Revelation 1:18. The heart on your page will also help us remember Jesus taught us how to love one another. Jesus is alive and we can love others like He does! Now remind me… Who is alive?” (Jesus is alive.)
