I feel it is very important for us to teach our children about the Fruit of the Spirit. The world can be a very awful and scary place. I think this activity is something that will show our children how to live and act and treat others.
First things first! Part of this activity is making an amazing fruit salad!!!!! I'm pretty sure we all now how to do that so I won't spend much time there. While you and the little ones are making this, ask your children what they think each quality means. What is love? What is kindness? How can you be patient with others? Etc. etc.
Next, let's get our materials together. You will need:
-white, green, red, purple, yellow, brown, orange, and what ever other colors you can think of :)
-cut out a tree from the brown paper
-cut out some different fruit from each of the other colors and write the name of one Fruit of the Spirit on each one.
-make it challenging for the older children and have them write scripture on each fruit as well that coincides with that Fruit.
Have fun with this! I can't wait to see all the awesome work you guys have done!
