Treat: Family Histo-tree bags of candy. Every time they do something on one of the leaves they can have a piece of candy from the tree trunk. Here are the instructions with the leaves.
Such a cool idea! It was good to see you on Skype the other day.
Hiii Lucy!
It was fun to talk to you guys on skype. You look so good and happy. It warms my heart to see you both. I’m glad to know all is well. Thanks again for stopping by. Love ya,
Hi,
Is there any chance you could put out the leaves blank for us to print or fill in our own things? I was hoping to use this for a kid activity with the following jobs: interview an ancestor, fill out your pedigree chart, gather some family pictures, record a childhood memory in your journal and make a box to keep your family history. Someone else came up with the tasks but they have them on a heart (which is really cute)but I really like your leaves better for this activity.
Hi Barbara,
Here are some blank leaves for your family home evening idea. Blank Leaves PDF. Hope this helps. For our FHE on this we had the children think of ideas and write them on the leaves of their tree. Just another idea. Good Luck and thanks for visiting!
Hugs,
Thank you so much! What a great idea!
