🎨 Crafty workshop
Get creative with family bonding activities.
“Crafty Workshop” activities are designed to help your family find a moment of creativity during a hectic week.
Activity 1: “Honor” activity sheet
Help your child color the castle, king, and queen. Practice counting and trace the letter H. Discuss examples of honor and read the phrase together! Just download, print, and let the fun begin!
Activity 2: Create Your Family Crest (Honor Shield)
A family crest is a beautiful way to make “honor” feel real for kids. It turns values into something they can see, hold, and talk about.
Each child creates a shield that represents what honor looks like in your family. Alternatively, create a single family shield together.
Materials:
Paper or cardboard (cut into a shield shape)
Markers, crayons, paint
Magazines for cutouts (optional)
Glue, scissors
How to create:
1. Divide the shield into 4 sections.
2. Give each section a theme. Examples:
Kindness
Courage
Honesty
Helping others
3. Let kids draw symbols instead of words. Examples:
A heart for kindness
A lion or mountain for courage
Open hands for helping
A bright sun for honesty
4. Add a “family motto” at the bottom (keep it simple):
“We tell the truth”
“We help each other”
5. Make it stick ✨
Ask: “How did you show honor today?”
Hang the shields somewhere visible
Revisit it after tough moments, not just calm ones.
This turns honor from a big word into something they practice, see, and slowly become.

How fun! Thanks for sharing these activities. 😊
I have two kids in college now. It's so nice to see parents going back to worksheets, and creative activities away from screens!
Both the values and the family crest were used by my children's school about 15 years ago. And I know I still have what my kids prodcued - I put all of their work, year by year, into containers. Now I want to go and look at them!!!
Have fun with these!
