			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Dario W</i>: Why is sex and nudity forbidden for kids to see in entertainment but violence is not?</strong><br />
Why is sex and nudity (even in a non-sexual sense) censored from kids entertainment, but violence is okay?  It&#8217;s acceptable to subject children to see violent sports like footbore, thugby, boxing and wrestling, hatred, violence and death but manifestations of love, romance and the human body as it is are taboo.  I don&#8217;t get it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by me</i>: Are there any crafts you&#8217;re kids have brought home from school that you really enjoy?</strong><br />
I realize that kids craft time is all about the experience, not the product; however, do you the parents ever see a craft that your kids brings home and get excited. I am planning an art hour for an after school program and want to be sure I don&#8217;t have kids doing something that will end up in the garbage a week from now. Thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s not play games here or maybe we should! Let me clear this up. The games I like to play are Bible games with a purpose. If someone looks into my classroom during a kids Bible lesson they might think we are just playing around. This is only partly true. We are playing&#8230; but this playing has a definite purpose. Kids Bible games are part of the learning process. This process uses Bible games and activities that hit the Bible lesson from different angles and perspectives. Games and activities hit various learning styles too. The cool thing is that kids learn while having fun!</p>
<p><strong>Games Teach That Church Is Fun</strong></p>
<p>Do we really need to teach that? I mean, the church is a place to be quiet. You need to at all times be reverent and look pious. Uh, no&#8230; you don&#8217;t, and especially not in the kids ministry area. I like noisy churches with lots of laughter and learning going on. It needs to be alive and on fire with the living, breathing, powerful word of God. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of churches over the years and this is one thing I don&#8217;t compromise on. Kids Bible lessons should be exciting, captivating, encouraging and here is that word again&#8230;fun! They need to be full of Bible games, joy and laughter! Kids learn through play with a purpose. Bible games teach that even though you are in church, you can have fun too.</p>
<p><strong>Lesson Review <br /></strong></p>
<p>I use Bible games for kids to reinforce what was taught in the Bible story. Here are some ideas that have been kid tested and found fun and effective:</p>
<p>* Play a card matching game similar to concentration using images from your Bible lesson. Make two cards of each image and turn the cards so the image can&#8217;t be seen. Kids try to make matches from the cards. For instance a Bible lesson on creation would have images of trees, animals, fruit, etc. Yeah this isn&#8217;t new but kids really like it. A simple game like this works even for the youngest kids so it is perfect for multiage groups.</p>
<p>* Turn over the letter card. Kids take turns guessing and turning over the letters to reveal the name of a character in the Bible story, a main point or the Bible memory verse. The idea is to guess the proper letters to reveal the word. This is an example of another tried and true Bible game that works great.</p>
<p>* Use a deck of cards with questions to quiz the kids on the Bible lesson. Take it up a notch and display the questions using PowerPoint. Play as teams or as a large group. My experience is that kids pay attention for a longer period of time when they know the information will be used in a Bible game for review.</p>
<p><strong>Kids Apply the Lesson <br /></strong></p>
<p>Application is one of the most important benefits of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.fun-bible-lessons-for-kids.com/bible-games.html" title="Bible games">Bible games for kids</a>. Take some creativity liberty, explore the kids Bible lesson and choose an important aspect of it to apply. Let&#8217;s say your Bible story is about being filled with God&#8217;s love, compassion or the fruit of the Spirit. Make a masking tape heart on the floor. Kids roll marbles or pitch paper wads into the heart to fill it up.</p>
<p>I did a lesson on water baptism. I put toy figures on a plastic plate and floated the plate in a pan of water. The kids pitched coins into the plate to immerse or baptize the figures. They still talk about this one and ask to play it again. I found out later that some kids had anxieties about being immersed in baptism. This simple, fun Bible game eased their anxiety about baptism. Bible games for kids are playing with purpose. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you create games that apply the kids Bible lesson.</p>
<p><strong>Fun for the Fun of It </strong></p>
<p>Kids are being forced to grow up fast, sometimes too fast. 4th and 5th graders are like 7th and 8th graders a few years ago. Often kids are pressured to act older and be cool. Kids need a time to relax, have fun and act like kids! Yeah, I believe in Bible games for kids and playing with purpose. But, I also believe that just allowing kids to be kids serves an important purpose too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by olivep</i>: Where can I find blank white shoes for kids crafts?</strong><br />
Like the plain white tie-ups, like Keds brand or similar. They are for a group of kids and we are doing a bunch of crafts with them (painting, drawing with markers, glueing buttons, etc.). Often, Kmart or Walmart is out of the sizes/colors we need.<br />
Any wholesale website would be helpful (like jiffyshirts.com for blank tshirts, etc.) Thanks!</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by thatgirljordann</i><br/>Wal-mart generally gets them in quite frequently so maybe you should cheack again or just ask if you can order them but if you didnt mind paying for the price of actual keds any rack room shoe store or famous footwear sells them they are just more expesive than the walmart brand</p>

<p>Whichever <a onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.4u-gift-ideas.com/kids-birthday-party-ideas.html" rel="nofollow">kids birthday party ideas</a> you&#8217;re looking for, setting up a party theme can definitely gives you the most concrete direction for your kid&#8217;s party planning. And a party theme do not necessary have to be specifically, an &#8216;official&#8217; one (e.g pirate birthday party, sponge bob party etc) if its way too early for them. The true definition (on what I see) of starting out a party theme means to set up a direction of what you needs and wants your child party to be like. Thus, it can be a &#8216;non-specific theme&#8217; as well. (a creative theme of your own).<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Still, at the beginning of your party checklist, you should start of by finding out what your kid likes. Kids usually have lots of wild imagination, adventureous and some of them can even be extremely hyperactive. They loves watching and playing all sort of humors. And this includes portraying an image or character, from one of their favorite cartoon show on the television.</p>
<p>For kid (especially toddler) who can&#8217;t really decide what they want to have for his/her birthday party, you can actually try out to associate your party like in a nursery garden theme. It&#8217;s actually a good start to expose them with some fun education to get them really &#8216;active&#8217; (And based on my own personal perspective, it&#8217;s actually a great start to get e&#8217;m rolling). The key is actually to engage with them all the way throughout the party.</p>
<p>And what they need is to build up some creativity (for example &#8216;imagination to be something&#8217;), exposure to reading (for example, you can read aloud some fun riddle and story) and slowly building up communication skills through all fun activities you can do with your kids and guest. And this is definitely one of the best, kid birthday party ideas you can actually start from.</p>
<p>As long you set a party theme that match with your kid personality and interest, you can definitely be sure nothing can go wrong. And if your kid can makes a decision to decide the style of a party he/she wants, it&#8217;s definitely the best solution to the get your kid&#8217;s party started.</p>
<p><strong>Location</strong></p>
<p>Celebrating kid&#8217;s birthday party have becomes very popular especially at home. Still, you can actually consider celebrating your kid&#8217;s birthday celebration outdoor (for example, on the beach for a barbecue) or even indoor such as resort. Some of these locations really provide great facilities to throw for a party. This includes playground, theme park, water lagoon, underwater world and even more. And you can definitely make use of all these facilities to make your kid&#8217;s birthday party even more &#8216; <strong>Happening</strong>&#8216;.</p>
<p><strong>Invitations</strong></p>
<p>With so many theme and style of kids birthday party ideas you can choose from, issuing an invitation is definitely something you wouldn&#8217;t miss to do. You can either choose to buy your kid&#8217;s party invitations or best still, make them your very own suited to the theme and style of your kid&#8217;s party celebration. Write down your party venue, location, time, date, RSVP and other information you&#8217;ll want your guest to know (e.g. attire or things to bring).</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE: </strong>Always remember to issue your invitations at least <strong>1 to 2 weeks in advance</strong>, so as to free your guest to attend your child&#8217;s birthday party.</p>
<p><strong>Decorations</strong></p>
<p>Dazzle your guest by putting up some amazing decorations together with your family and kids. You party decoration depends on the style and theme of your party celebration. For example, if it&#8217;s a &#8216;pirate birthday party theme&#8217;, you&#8217;ll need to put up some other creative decoration such as treasure chest or pirate hat to match your party theme.</p>
<p>In search of kids birthday party ideas, here some amazing, <a onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.4u-gift-ideas.com/party-decoration-ideas.html" rel="nofollow">basic party decoration</a> you can do:</p>
<p>Hang colorful party streamer across the ceiling (twist them before attaching them on the ceiling to create spiral effects). Make two style of arrangement by attaching the party streamers, horizontally and vertically across them.<br />
As in (1), hang lots of colorful balloons<br />
You can make use other style of balloon decoration which includes balloon arch, balloon column or even balloon figures (e.g. balloon palm tree)<br />
Hang some personalizes wallpaper or party banner<br />
Decorate your table with multi wire light, balloon, or even streamer<br />

Prepare a suitable party hat, masks or even whistle. You can use this as part of your party favor.<br />
Play some background music<br />
Gather all toys for the kids to play.</p>
<p><strong>Games &#8216;N&#8217; Activities</strong></p>
<p>Putting up lots of fun games and activities is definitely the most important pillar for your child&#8217;s birthday party. Make sure you plan out lists of party games and activities for everyone to have fun together. When writing down your lists of games and activities, make sure it does suit for different group of people. And when you&#8217;re throwing some fun game ideas, it is best to have it play in team rather than individual.</p>
<p>Still, you can choose to have both of them played in group and individual. Some of the classic party games you can include are duck duck goose, musical chairs, blind mice, Simons say and even scavenger hunt. With a blend of yours creativity and thorough planning together with your family member, you&#8217;ll be surprise how &#8216;AWESOME&#8217; your child&#8217;s birthday party can be.</p>
<p><strong>Party Cake, Foods and drinks</strong></p>
<p>You definitely wouldn&#8217;t miss to set aside a birthday cake for your kid. Using a simple cake recipe, template and picking up some basic cake decorating skills and equipment (e.g. cake decorating tips), you can definitely design and decorate your kid&#8217;s birthday cake of your own.</p>
<p>Next thing to consider, you&#8217;ll need to <strong>decide a suitable menu </strong>cater for kids, teenagers and adults. Chips, sausage sandwiches, burger, French fries, pretzels, muffins, apple crumble pie, cup cakes and brownie ice cream are all time favorite for every kid. You can also include some barbeque dishes which include chicken, steaks, potato and even corn. They make such a perfect match too.</p>
