It was my seven year old, Mirabel's, turn for family home evening and she knew exactly what she wanted to do. She got out the pictures of David and Goliath that I got from my sister years and years ago, but are still a big hit. Then she told us the story about David and Goliath.
Goliath is made up of six pieces of paper to give him a bigger look. We put him together like a puzzle with a shield and it makes for a good comparison.
Here's the fun part, to help explain it to her for year old sister, Mirabel got marshmallows out. They picked out five marshmallows and pretended they were the five smooth stones that David got from the river. Then they pretended they had a sling shot and threw a marshmallow right at Goliath's head. They loved that.
After Mirabel finished the story and explained the moral of it all, they started throwing marshmallows at random at Goliath. Which turned into a marshmallow fight, followed by Dad being Goliath and the girls both being David and threw stones aka marshmallows at him until he fell over and died. All the while my one year old crawled around eating the marshmallows as fast as she could.
To top it all off, Harper, 4, had made rice crispy treats for dessert. A fun, and hopefully educational family home evening for all.
