Forgiveness is a powerful lesson for kids, helping them understand the importance of letting go of anger and showing kindness, just like Jesus teaches us. In this post, we’ll explore fun ways to teach forgiveness to kids through Bible-based crafts, activities, and prayers that make learning about grace easy and meaningful for children.

Teaching children about forgiveness is an important part of their spiritual growth. In the Bible, we see countless examples of how God forgives us and calls us to forgive others. Forgiveness helps heal relationships, fosters kindness, and reflects God’s love in our everyday lives. This post will explore how we can help kids understand forgiveness from a Christian perspective, including practical tips, Bible verses, and fun crafts to engage their hearts and hands.

What is Forgiveness?

Forgiveness means letting go of hurt, anger, or resentment toward someone who has wronged us. It doesn’t mean forgetting the hurt but releasing the burden and trusting God to bring peace. For kids, learning to forgive can be a process, but with guidance, they can grow in understanding and practice it in their lives.

Bible Verses on Forgiveness for Kids

When teaching kids about forgiveness, turning to Scripture is a powerful way to help them see how God views forgiveness. Some key Bible verses include:

  • Colossians 3:13 (ESV): “As the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”
  • Ephesians 4:32 (ESV): “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
  • Matthew 6:14 (ESV): “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”
  • 1 John 1:9 (ESV): “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
  • Luke 6:37 (ESV): “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
  • Matthew 18:21-22 (ESV): “Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
  • Matthew 18:35 (ESV): “So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
  • Romans 3:23 (ESV): “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

These scriptures on forgiveness offer a foundation for kids to understand that forgiveness is a choice we make because of God’s forgiveness toward us.

Why Teaching Forgiveness Matters

Forgiveness isn’t always easy for kids (or adults!), but it’s essential for healthy relationships and emotional well-being. Kids who learn to forgive others are more likely to develop empathy, patience, and kindness.

Building a Foundation of Grace

The key to teaching children forgiveness is building a foundation of grace—knowing that we all make mistakes but that God’s love covers those mistakes. As we teach kids about forgiveness, we are also teaching them about God’s grace and how to extend it to others.

How to Forgive Someone Step by Step

Forgiveness Process Model for kids how to forgive someone

Forgiveness means letting go of the bad feelings we have when someone hurts us. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened, but it does mean choosing not to stay mad. The steps to forgiveness can be simple when you follow the Forgiveness Process Model. Here’s how you can forgive someone in a way that’s easy to follow:

1. Admit You’re Hurt

First, you need to understand that you’re hurt. It’s okay to feel sad, angry, or upset when someone does something wrong.

  • Think About It: What did the person do to make you feel hurt or sad?

2. Think About How It Made You Feel

Once you know what happened, take a moment to think about how their actions made you feel. This helps you know why you’re upset.

  • Think About It: How did what they did change how you feel about them or the situation?

3. Decide to Forgive

The next step is choosing to forgive. It doesn’t mean saying what they did is okay. It means you are ready to let go of your anger and not let it make you feel bad anymore.

  • Think About It: Are you ready to let go of feeling angry and trust God to help you?

4. Be Kind but Keep Safe

After you forgive, it’s important to be kind to the person. But if they keep hurting you, you can keep a safe distance. Being kind doesn’t mean you have to let them hurt you again.

  • Think About It: How can you be kind to them, but also protect yourself if they might hurt you again?

5. Talk to God About Your Feelings

Even after you forgive, you might still feel upset. That’s okay. You can talk to God and ask Him to help you feel better and to let go of any bad feelings.

  • Think About It: Can you ask God to help you feel better and help you let go of the anger?

6. Let It Go

Forgiving means not staying mad and not trying to get back at the person. Instead, you let it go and trust that God will take care of the situation.

  • Think About It: Have you really let go of wanting to get even or stay mad at the person?

7. Become Friends Again (If You Can)

If it’s safe and the person says they are sorry, you can try to be friends again. But sometimes, it’s okay if the friendship doesn’t go back to how it was before.

  • Think About It: Can you be friends with this person again? What steps could you take to make things better between you?

8. Trust That God Will Make Things Right

When you forgive, you’re trusting that God will take care of everything. He knows what’s fair, and He will handle it.

  • Think About It: Do you believe that God will make things right in the end?

A Simple Forgiveness Prayer

“Dear God, I forgive [name] for [what they did]. Help me let go of my anger and sadness. Please give me peace and help me to trust that You will take care of everything. Amen.”

Practical Ways to Teach Forgiveness

how to teach kids about forgiveness

Role-Playing Scenarios

One way to help kids practice forgiveness is through role-playing. Create scenarios where one child accidentally bumps into another or takes a toy without asking. Then guide them through the process of saying, “I’m sorry,” and responding with, “I forgive you.”

Praying Together

Encourage children to pray when they are struggling to forgive. A simple prayer like, “Dear Jesus, help me forgive others like you have forgiven me,” reminds them that they’re not alone in this challenge.

Fun Forgiveness Crafts to Reinforce the Lesson

Incorporating crafts into your teaching can make the lesson of forgiveness more interactive and engaging for kids. Here are some fun ideas from the Forgiveness Craft Set we created earlier:

Helping Kids Understand God’s Forgiveness

Forgiveness starts with understanding that we are forgiven by God first. When we talk to kids about forgiveness, it’s important to highlight that we forgive others because God forgave us.

Explaining God’s Grace to Kids

You can explain God’s forgiveness in simple terms by using analogies they understand. For example, “Imagine if you spilled juice on the floor, and your mom or dad cleaned it up for you. That’s like how God forgives us when we make mistakes—He helps clean up our messes.”

Forgiveness with Healthy Boundaries

While forgiveness is a key part of Christian life, it’s also important to teach children about healthy boundaries. Forgiveness doesn’t always mean allowing someone to continue to hurt us. There are times when we are called to forgive but also to create distance between ourselves and the person who wronged us, especially if their behavior remains harmful.

boundaries for kids in forgiveness

Teaching Boundaries to Kids

It’s essential to help kids understand that forgiving someone doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or putting themselves in harm’s way. For example:

  • Explain the difference between forgiveness and trust: Let children know that while they can forgive someone, rebuilding trust may take time, and it’s okay to keep distance while that happens.
  • Boundaries protect, not punish: Teach children that creating space is a way to protect their hearts and their well-being, and it’s a healthy way to honor themselves and their relationship with God.
  • Pray for wisdom: Encourage kids to pray for wisdom in how to handle difficult situations and relationships, asking God for guidance in setting boundaries. They can also talk to an adult for direction.

Bible Verses on Forgiveness and Wisdom

Here are some Bible verses that highlight forgiveness and wisdom:

  • Matthew 10:16 (ESV): “Be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”
  • Proverbs 4:23 (NIV): “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
  • James 1:5 (ESV): “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach.”

By teaching both forgiveness and boundaries, we give children the tools to navigate challenging relationships in a healthy, Christ-centered way.

Forgiveness is a Gift from God

Forgiveness is a vital Christian value, and helping kids understand and practice it from a young age will benefit them in every area of life. Through Bible verses, prayers, and fun crafts like those from our Forgiveness Craft Set, children can grasp the importance of forgiving others and experiencing the beauty of God’s grace.

By teaching kids about forgiveness, we equip them with the tools to navigate conflicts with love, empathy, and a heart like Jesus.

huge list of fun candy dice games for kids

Using dice as a way to decide the fate of an activity or game never gets dull. In fact, rolling the dice is a simple way for kids and adults can feel as though they’re part of a game without the worry of having too much pressure at the same time.

Because let’s be honest. Sometimes, it’s really hard to decide what candy to choose or what gift to pick. Those decisions can make anyone feel like they’re frozen without an option, and this is where the dice come into play! (literally!)

Forget popular games or board games like Yahtzee, Farkle, and Bunco. The next time that there is a fun holiday or event coming up where there will be choices to be made, make a few dice cookies, and don’t forget to include these dice game printables and a set of dice. The printables will give the answers to the rolls of the dice, making it a great option for everyone to participate in.

Dice Game Rules

Candy dice game rules are simple and easy to follow. In fact, the dice game candy rules are printed and ready to use. Each person gets to take a turn rolling the dice, and whatever number is shown on that dice is matched with the number on the printable.

The only control that the person has is that they get to toss or roll the dice. After that, it’s all in how the dice land! In the gift exchanges, if you roll snake eyes with the dice, then you have to do what the dice game tells you to do for rolling that number. No ifs, and, or butts!

For each dice roll it might mean that you get candy, it could mean that you give candy, or it could mean that you are skipped and have to watch everyone else having and enjoying some of their candy. It’s all in the fun of the game! (and all are in good spirits as well because every roll will have everyone guessing and waiting as to what is going to happen)

Printable Dice Game Options

Supplies

The best part about using dice game printables is that you just need a few simple supplies to get started!

You can easily start with one and then get the rest as the year goes along. I recommend printing on cardstock and then laminating the printable game. This makes it easier to use over and over again!

How do I play dice games?

Each of the candy dice game PDFs includes instructions. However, the concept is easy in this simple game. Add a bunch of candy (or candy bars) to the center of the table. Roll the dice. Look at your number. Follow the instructions.

Sample instructions include…

  • Take one candy
  • Put one candy back
  • Give any player one candy
  • Skip your turn
  • Take one candy from any player
  • Everyone takes one candy

Players will pull from the pile of candy (or each other) until they get the specific number of candies they need to win.

Can I play dice games without dice?

You might be wondering if can you play these dice games without dice (or a dice cup.) Dice games require some type of numeric roll with a six-sided dice however if you do not have dice, there are ways around this.

It’s very easy to roll dice using a dice app on your phone, by making your own paper dice out of a printable cube template, or by using a virtual dice-rolling website.

What is the order of the game?

On the dice game, the rules are listed. However, you can make it your own. You can decide the order of players in this group game. When playing with younger kids, the first player is usually the youngest. The next player is to their left (in clockwise order) or the next youngest player. Players take turns rolling the die. The object of the game is to collect candy or candy bars. The winner of the game gets the present or the most candy.

How many players are needed for these dice games?

The number of players really doesn’t matter but anything in between 3 to 5 players will work best. If you have more than 5 players, split up players into groups and each group will play their own game. If you play with fewer than 3 players, stealing things like candy from your “play of choice” will be really silly – you keep stealing and exchanging with the same person. It will make the end of the game come really quickly. In this case, just add a number of rounds to keep the game going.

Do I need to keep score in this game?

No piece of paper is needed to track the highest score other than the printable dice games. There is no total score in these popular dice game printables. The winner will either unwrap the present or get ten pieces of candy first.  You can create variations and add up the highest total and award prizes for the most points. Make it your own game and grab a piece of paper as a score sheet if this is the die score is the direction you go. It definitely adds math into the equation (no pun intended) if you are playing math games in the classroom.

Are you looking for a fun activity that will get your kids outside and having a blast? Planning a neighborhood scavenger hunt is a great way to get kids moving and interacting with their community and landmarks while getting to know the people and places around them. We dare you to try to not love this town scavenger hunt!

Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt Printable

Looking for a fun way to explore your neighborhood with the kids? Check out this neighborhood scavenger hunt printable. This printable is a great idea for teens, tweens, or kids. If you’re looking for a fun activity to do with the kids in your neighborhood, consider this fun neighborhood scavenger hunt PDF!

Let’s get outdoors and begin our local treasure hunt!

What is a scavenger hunt?

A scavenger hunt is a game similar to a treasure hunt. Players collect or identify specific items, usually specified on a list or given in a series of clues. Players are given a list of items to find or collect. This collection can be a collection of similar things or a series of clue cards. There are two different types of scavenger hunt hunts…

  • Scavenger Hunt Checklist
  • Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards

A scavenger hunt can be casual or can be a timed race.  It can be played individually or with a team. There are a few examples of how to declare a winner in a scavenger hunt…

  • Man vs clock: Each player races to beat another players time.
  • Man vs Man: Multiple players go at the same time. The winner finishes the race first.
  • Team vs Team: Players work together to finish their scavenger hunt before the other team finishes first.

At the end of a scavenger treasure hunt there is a prize. The first player to find or collect all the items on the list or complete the rhyming riddles wins the game.  Examples of scavenger hunt prizes can include…

  • holiday gifts
  • birthday presents
  • party favors
  • small prizes
  • a series of items that lead to a larger clue (for example letters to unscramble)
  • candy

How to Prepare for a Scavenger Hunt

Decide on the area you will be searching. This could be your neighborhood, a local park, playground or even your own backyard. In this case, you’ll be doing the scavenger hunt in your neighborhood and by foot or car depending on your area.

Put together clues in the form of a checklist or clue cards. For example, in a scavenger hunt checklist, make a list of items for the players to find or collect. The list can be as simple or complex as you like. For example, at a Safari Themed Party, players might collect different animals found in the jungle that are hiding in the party venue.

If you are created ideas for scavenger hunt clues for kids, you want to have a consecutive list of places you want the kids to go. Then you offer clues so that they find that location.

neighborhood scavenger hunt clue card ideas

An example of a scavenger hunt clue for kids is…

Check out the pathway on the side of the street. On the concrete is a clue for you to meet.

Start the town scavenger hunt. Print out the cards or checklist, and choose the area of the neighborhood you’ll be working in.

What’s in this Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt?

For this neighborhood scavenger hunt printable set, there are actually two types of neighborhood scavenger hunt ideas to choose from: A checklist and rhyming riddles clue cards.

The first neighborhood treasure hunt is more descriptive and great for older kids or teenagers that can read and solve riddles. This could be used on your street or using a car scavenger hunt for a larger area. Second, there is also a list of items for younger kids.  This would be used as a walking scavenger hunt and kids check off the list of items on their visual list.

Clue Cards

Neighborhood scavenger hunt for adults or teens or older kids

This scavenger hunt is great for older children, teens or even adults. Use rhyming riddles and go on a neighborhood walk scavenger hunt on foot or driving scavenger hunt as you locate different clues and ultimately find your prize.

To get started, cut the rhyming clue cards apart. Choose the scavenger hunt clue cards that are best for your neighborhood and plan your order. If you wish, you can add a number to the back of the card for ordering.

Since you are in a larger area, such as a neighborhood, create a boundary where clues can be found. To keep the clues in a larger area, write your own clues on the back. For example, use hints like this is at a house to the left of yours. This is at a flower bush four driveways from yours. Hide your cards in the appropriate spot but save the first card to start the hunt. You can play foot, bicycle, golf cart or car!

In our printable set, you’ll also find a page full of do not touch signs! These signs are great for when you don’t want anyone messing up your scavenger hunt and picking up a clue card before players have gotten to that riddle.

Checklist

easy neighborhood scavenger hunt for kids

The second photo scavenger hunt is ideal for preschoolers or younger children and kids. In this scavenger hunt list, participants can see the picture and from there they can look for the item in the picture. The scavenger hunt includes 16 items.

Example neighborhood checklist items include…

  • sprinkler
  • dog
  • flower
  • mailbox
  • airplane
  • stop sign

Once an items is found, you can use a circle sticker and cover the item (like these on Amazon) or just add a circle or X. This is not a checklist neighborhood hunt where you pick up the item – the neighbor might not like you carrying their dog home. LOL.

Cheap Birthday Party Ideas for Those on a Budget

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

Having a birthday party on a budget isn’t always easy, but it’s possible! Finding low cost party ideas just takes a little time and effort. If you don’t have the time or even if you don’t want to put in the effort, then these tips are for you! Sacrifice on the wallet but not the fun!

cheap birthday party ideas low-cost party for kids and adults

Birthday celebrations can be expensive. But there are cheap and inexpensive ways to make an adults’ or kid’s birthday fun. These fun ideas are affordable and easy to set up for friends and family of any age.

I’m going to walk you through having a fun birthday party on the budget. From party ideas to activities, you will be able to put together an amazing party and all on a budget!

How to have a birthday party on a budget

Are you looking to celebrate a birthday but don’t want to spend a lot of money? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. According to a recent survey, the average person spends about $600 on their birthday celebrations. But there’s no need to break the bank just to have a good time.

Cheap birthday parties for those on a budget can still turn out great. You really just have to focus on the areas that you want to spend money on and the other areas you can do on a budget! For example, you may want to go all out on the cake, but save money on the gifts. With a little bit of creativity, you can still have a fantastic birthday party without blowing your budget.

Here are some tips for cheap birthday party ideas:

Set a budget and stick to it

This is probably the most important tip when it comes to having a child’s birthday party on a budget. Decide how much you’re willing or able to spend beforehand, and then make sure all of your decisions reflect that budget. Start with the item that is most important to you. One that you are not willing to spend less on. Start there and then start researching the rest of the party ideas.

Get creative with the guest list

Instead of inviting everyone you know, be selective about who you invite. You can still have a great time with fewer people in attendance. Plus, this will allow you to focus your spending on making sure those who do attend have an amazing time. The individuals that were not invited to this party can be guests for another occasion.

DIY as much as possible

Another great way to save money is by doing things yourself instead of hiring someone else to do them for you. For example, if you’re good at baking, why not make your own cake instead of buying one? Or if you’re crafty, you could make your own invitations or decorations instead of buying them from a store. Pinterest and bloggers provide a lot of ideas for DIY party favors, printable banners, and even low-cost themed birthday party ideas.

Think outside the box when it comes to activities

Just because there’s no money for entertainment doesn’t mean your guests will be bored. There are plenty of fun games and activities that don’t cost anything to play. For example, charades, scavenger hunts, karaoke and printable themed party games are all great options that are sure to keep your guests happy and entertained.

Save on the Venue

In addition to thinking outside the box for birthday party activities, also think outside the box for the party room. Public, national, and local parks are often affordable places. Think of all the places friends have had parties. Now cross those ideas off. Why, because they are popular and popular means there is an up charge in cost – supply vs demand.  This past year, we found a small fish tank aquarium. It had an outdoor place for the kids to play and it might have been the best, most affordable party we ever had. Parents raved about the venue and no one had every been there before. By finding something that was not “common” we saved a lot. If the venue place is still too much, have a party at your home or in your backyard.

Having a birthday party on a budget is totally possible, you just need to get creative! By following these low-cost party tips, you can throw an amazing bash without breaking the bank in the process!

What activities do children like to do on their birthdays?

Still looking for inexpensive birthday party ideas? Birthdays are a special time for kids. It’s a day when they get to feel extra special and loved. Having a few family-only birthday traditions are a great way to recognize the guest of honor. If you’re looking for some fun ideas to make your child’s birthday even more special, look no further!

Here are some great low cost party ideas for celebrating birthdays with kids. Create these fun birthday ideas with a party of two to a party of 30!

Have a picnic lunch

Get some yummy food and drinks and have a picnic lunch outside! This is a great way to enjoy the nice weather and have some quality time with your child. Find a unique place to eat like on top of a big rock in the middle of a creek or downtown in the city with tall buildings.

Make a cake

Let your child help you make their birthday cake! Make your own DIY cake mix or pick up a boxed mix. They’ll love being able to help out and will be so excited to eat their creation. You can even let them make their own miniature cake (or cupcake) and have a larger cake for the family to share. This can be done with themed party food or party snacks too.

Go on a nature walk

Explore the great outdoors with your child on their birthday! This is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air while spending time together. Try this outdoor treasure hunt for locating special gifts.

Visit a farm

Many farms offer tours or activities specifically for kids. This can be a fun and educational way to spend a child’s birthday!

Go to the zoo

The zoo is always a hit with kids! They’ll love seeing all the different animals and learning about them. Plus it gets out plenty of walking to build an appetite for a special birthday dinner.

Play games

Plant a garden

Go out for ice cream

A classic birthday treat! Kids will love being able to pick out their favorite flavor and topping combination. Plus, it’s a great way to cool down on a hot day. Make your very own ice cream party shop.

Kids Party Games

I mentioned earlier, saving money on the things you can. Decide what’s most important to you, then save on the rest. Having a birthday party allows your child to feel important. It puts them at the center of attention.  The goal is a fun birthday party that gives your child self affirmation and positive feelings of oneself.

Now that you have honored your child with the special occasion, honor your guests with fun. One of the most expensive items for birthday parties, is the entertainment.

Everyone knows that the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without the Nutcracker Ballet! This Printable Nutcracker Activity for Kids is so much imaginative fun. Not only can they print out the various Nutcrackers scenes, but they’ll have the printable paper dolls to go along with it, as well. When it comes to Christmas Placemats Activities, adding this printable Nutcracker scene activity to the table might be the perfect holiday addition. 

cute nutcracker printables christmas activity set for kids

Part of getting excited and ready for the holidays is thinking about all the Christmas classics from the past. Since The Nutcracker Ballet is one that everyone loves and knows, it just makes sense to have fun activities surrounding that theme!

What I love about this holiday printable activity is that it’s a great way to get the kids active and involved. They’ll love being able to turn the pages, change the scenes, and have the paper dolls be a part of the fun.

They could even have their own Nutcracker theater and put on quite the play! Have everyone in the family gather around and sit down to watch the show. It’s truly magical to see the excitement of Christmas through the eyes of the kids!

If you’re looking for fun Christmas activities, look no further than this printable Nutcracker scene. It’s a fun place-setting idea, a great interactive activity, and a fun way to get everyone excited for the holidays.

How does this printable Nutcracker activity work?

christmas crafts printable nutcracker activity set for kids

It’s as simple as printing out the pages and then piecing them together to make fun scenes from The Nutcracker. The paper dolls can be used on every page to make the story come to life.

Once it’s put together, there are parts and pieces that can be moved around and used differently throughout the rest of the printable set.

This is where creativity and imagination come into play and makes it super fun to use over and over again. Flipping the pages and having the paper dolls in various different scenes is a simple way to make this Nutcracker idea and activity unique and different every time.

Can this nutcracker printable be used by one person?

You bet! It’s a super fun activity for one or multiple! All you have to do is print, and then whoever wants to join in on the fun can absolutely do so. This is a great way to imagine and then make it happen, which is what little kids love to do!

I do recommend that there be a part of adult hands to help out with the little hands in making and putting this together. Adult supervision and help are always welcomed. (plus, the bonus of creating it together is an awesome memory!)

Supplies

What’s included with this Nutcracker theater scene printable?

How to create a Nutcracker Travel Set

Perhaps while you create your christmas craft, turn on Youtube the classical music from the Nutcracker by composer Tchaikovsky. This might give you a little inspiration and Christmas cheera s you make your Nutcracker traveling set.

how to make nutcracker travel set

First, download and print your printable nutcracker activity set. If working with preschoolers or toddlers, have older children or adults guide them through the activity. We find cardstock works great but printer paper is just fine.

To begin, use the ruler and back blunt edge of your scissors to score the two dotted lines of Page 1. Fold both of the lines inward to form the base.

Next cut out the flap from page 2. Use the ruler and back edge of your scissors to score the single dotted line. Fold this line back.

Place the flap over the right, short edge of the base. Glue the underside of the flap to the front, outside, folding it over the base, forming an envelope.

Open the base up all the way with the white side up on a flat surface. The flap should be on the right.

Cut out the two pockets from page 3. Score along the dotted lines of each envelope and fold these inward.

Apply glue to the flaps and adhere each pocket to the bottom left and bottom right of the base. Line the edges up with the outside edges of the base page.

Next, cut out the top and side curtains from page 4. Score the curtains along the dotted lines. Fold the flaps back.

Apply glue to the flaps of the middle curtain and glue it to the top of the base, carefully centering it in the middle, about I/8th of an inch from the very top edge. After the middle curtain dries in place, flip it up.

Now, glue the two side curtains in the same manner, lining them up along each side edge of the base page. Set aside.

Cut out the three stage scenes Prom pages 5 – 7. Fold each scene in half, carefully folding, then creasing them down the middle.

Glue the back right of scene 1 to the back left of scene 2. Next, glue the back right of scene 2 to the back right of scene 3. This will create a small booklet of scenes.

Next, open up all curtain flaps. Glue the backs of the booklet in place, carefully centering it between the two side curtains and about I/16th down from the top curtain flap fold.

To change scenes, open the three curtain flaps, turn the booklet page, then place the curtain flaps back down into place.

printable nutcracker scenes

Cut out all dancers and decorations. These items don’t have to be cut exactly. It’s Pine to leave some white space around the edges. Categorize the items and place them into the correct envelopes, Dancers or Decorations. (These would be fine laminated if you want to keep them in good shape.)

Now carefully fold the Nutcracker Kit in half. Use the flat end of your scissors or the end of a ruler to re-crease the folds so they are sharp.

Finally, cut out the long band and decorative sticker from page 2. Starting at the center front, hold the end in place, then wrap the long band all the way around the short width of the base kit, creasing the band as you go.

Apply glue to the back of the decorative snow-flake sticker to connect the band in the front. Make sure that you only glue the band together. Don’t glue the band to your base!

Enjoy your entire land of sweets travel kit during the Nutcracker season.

baby shower scavenger hunt

Do you have a baby shower or gender reveal party coming up? If so, you likely are looking for activities for the guest of honor and all her shower guests.  Typically a stork party is a place where moms have slipped away from the home leaving behind cares and worries. They are ready to mingle with friends and celebrate the expectant mother.

Because of the relaxed carefree atmosphere, baby shower games are a great way to create laughter, teamwork and leave behind a trail of fun memories. These can come in all shapes or forms including fun activities like The Price is Right, What’s In your Purse and even a fun treasure hunt.

If you want to have baby shower games that all of the attendees but especially the mom-to-be will love, then you might really enjoy this baby shower scavenger hunt!

How to Use Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

This baby shower scavenger hunt is perfect for a baby shower that is being held in someone’s home. If you will not be within a home, you could also set it up at a venue with a little bit of creativity. You will simply need to “stage” the venue with appropriate areas, for example, baby outfits hanging on a rack to represent the “closet”or a baby tub (that you can gift the mom-to-be) for the bathroom or bathtub.

The baby items around the venue area will act like a home. Player can then zoom through the area trying to solve the list of baby rhymes.

Fun Baby Themed Riddles

This scavenger hunt has a set of 20 rhyming clues that are meant to help your shower guests find the next clue. Examples of some of the baby inspired riddles are “ Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes. Go to where the baby will put their folded clothes”, and “Rub-a-dub-dub, oh what a delight. Go where the baby will be bathed each and every night”.

Other rhyming clues include “ The next clue you look for is presently hiding where the baby will spend a lot of time riding” (aka car seat) and “Baby will get lots of lovin, the end of the hunt is revealed baking in the oven.” Stumped? Don’t worry, answers are given with the printable set – plus you want to make this challenging so it becomes a real competition.

How to Play a Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

To paly this baby shower scavenger hunt, print all 20 scavenger hunt clues. Next cut the nursery rhymes out. Decide what clues are best for you to use for your party location and scavenger hunt purpose – for example, if you are not revealing the gender, take out the clues that say its a boy or girl.

Once you have chosen the right cards, hide the clue cards in the appropriate spot. Make sure to save the first card to start the game! If you are going to have the guests play this game in teams, make sure to print off two of the starting cards! You can then create a time limit and see who completes the hunt the fastest.

You could also use this scavenger hunt to reveal the little one’s name, just leave a single letter where each clue is found. You can also leave small prizes like candy or candles for each guest to take one, or have a larger prize for the winner of the scavenger hunt!

How to Use a Baby Shower Scavenger Hunt

Variations to this scavenger hunt include revealing the gender of the baby at the end! There is a card that says “We’re over the moon, this is such a thrill! We are delighted to say “It’s a girl””, and “We’re over the moon, and overcome with joy. We are delighted to say that it’s a boy!” respectively.

There also in an additional purse scavenger hunt game – this means guests enver have to leave their seat!

While you are waiting for all of your baby shower guests to arrive there is another type of scavenger hunt that you can play. There is a printable baby shower scavenger hunt game that involves the items you might find in your purse. Give each guest a copy of the “what’s in your purse?” baby shower scavenger hunt and a pen, whoever has the most points at the end will win a prize.

Items that are commonly found in your purse such as keys, credit cards, tissues, pens, checkbooks, and rewards cards are only worth a single point per item. Mints, hairbrushes, toys, bandaids, sunglasses, and hand lotion are worth two points each.

Items that are a little less common are worth more points. You can receive five points per item for a paper grocery list, receipt, cash, a phone charger, or a tape measure.

Just like “What’s in your Purse?” but baby shower edition. Each participant earns points for the item that they have in their cell phone. Things like having the Pinterest app, a photo of the pregnant mom or having the baby shower in your calendar, etc.

Supplies:
