Monday nights mean Family Home Evening where we have a little lesson, song and activity and teach our kids about different values. Last Monday, I made up a little FHE lesson on the fly as we decorated a gingerbread house and it turned out pretty fun so I thought I’d share.
My boys are little so we learn about simple subjects. This time the lesson was about family. Each part of the gingerbread house represented something to do with our family.
- Base or foundation (cookie sheet) = Eternal marriage in the temple.
- Walls and roof = Each member of our family, we are all different, but everyone fulfills a different role and all are important.
- Glue = Love is the glue that holds our family together.
- Candy = Kind words and service to one another makes our home a sweet place to be.
The kids had a blast decorating the house and it was super easy using a gingerbread house kit from Ikea and some candies we picked out at the dollar store.
Do you have fun Christmas family home evening ideas? Do you have a family Christmas tradition you do each year?
