Making Memories With Preschoolers- Labor Day Ideas

My mo gave me a great book, Let's Make a Memory by Gloria Gaither and Shirley Dobson. I have younger siblings and my mom used this book with them. It has some terrific ideas for making days special and planning simple special events to make lasting memories with your children, many celebrating God. Here are two abbreviated ideas for Labor Day (US) (you will probably see others come up as the time goes on):
1. Work: God's Perfect Plan- The first thing God gave Adam was a job. Celebrate God's plan for work by creating banners to put up in your house. There are some Bible verse's to go along with this idea: post a comment if you want some.
2. The Gift of Work: To help your child appreciate the gift of work, make arrangements ahead of time to them to your place of employment on a regular work day. Discussion questions are included. Begin the day by talking about the gift of work is to our lives and the joy we find in contributing to other's person lives by using the skills we have. If you are a stay at home mom, make sure you point out the things you do to help the family. Many children don't realize how much work moms do- they just think it is part of the day!

Celebrate Labor Day with your children and make them realize it is more than cook outs and the end of summer!
