Making rattles and other musical instruments can be fun projects for the whole family. The instruments can be used in worship as well as informal play. Chants are also common in worship and they are easy to learn. Sing with children anytime. Collections of stones, leaves, or any other curiosities, can provide the start of an altar.
Children also enjoy making their own ritual objects.
When a child's creation is added to a place of honor in the family's religious practice it can take on even greater significance. Telling Our Stories Children love to tell and hear stories. Storytelling is a celebrated form of expression among ancient and contemporary religious traditions. Encourage parents and grandparents to tell the stories of the family and encourage children to add their stories to the family heritage. Making books of family history is always fun.
