As a parent I lack guidance. Daily I try to do it on my own before surrendering to God. Those times I take the day’s challenges into my own hands, things fall apart. It’s incredibly liberating being able to cast all my burdens on the Lord.

These scripture cards were made with my family in mind. From toddlers, to teens, to myself and my husband we have bible verses cards to encourage us all. Feel free to use my creation to also equip your family with the Word of God.

Scripture Memory Cards PDFs

As we know from Hebrews, The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword. If we are not equip with the weapon of the Holy Spirit, God’s word, then we are not protected in his armor. Instead of being a Christian soldier with a clumsy weapon, we can sharpen our tool by carrying it with us. Download these Scripture Memory Card printables so that the Word dwells in us richly.

We have create a series of bible verse printables for each member of the family. If you are looking for words of encouragement from the bible, download these 20 bible verses bundles.

How do I make my own bible verse card?

It’s easy to make your own scripture cards. You can purchase 3×5 index cards and rotate memory verses out continuously. It’s really nice to index cards you have memorized in a index card container to create a scripture memory box. Alternatively, you can attach them to a keychain.

Of course, you could also download our bible verse cards. We put together some of the most encouraging bible verse cards for teens, parents, teachers, toddlers and kids. Cards are great for memorizing. By laminating these cards you can keep them protected for a long time and by attaching them to a keychain, you can easily flip through a new daily bible verse.

Attaching scripture cards on a keychain is a great way to give testimony to others. When your keys are visible, so is the word of God! It’s also a great way to memorize scripture or can be turned into a fun Sunday School craft for teen girls. I personally attach my keys to the outside of my purse using a Retractable Keychain.

Plus you can literally take the word of God anywhere you want. With your bible verses printable, a laminator, scissors, and a fun keychain, they’re so easy to make!

Instructions

Have your scripture cards already printed on cardstock.

Heat your laminator. You will need a thermal system (not a cold setting.)

Place each 8.5 x 11 bible verses sheet in a laminating sheet. Laminate each page. Sometimes I run through the laminator twice for a tight seal.

These tags are a vertical design with adorable girl scout clip art. In the center of the template are two types of thank you sayings. The first message reads “Enjoy your cookies. Thank you for supporting our troop!” The second thank you message reads, “Thank you for supporting our troop!”

These are not folded thank you cards, so there is no inside of the card or outside of the card. If you wish to add your daughter’s name to the gift tag, simply have her sign her name at the bottom or on the back of the card. The card back has plenty of room for a personalized thank you note message.

Looking for fun birthday ideas? Make each and every family member feel special on their birthday with these Family Birthday Celebrations. These creative kids birthday ideas might just become your family’s new favorite traditions!

Family Birthday Celebrations

Our family used to have more elaborate birthday celebrations for our kids. As the years have gone by and our family headcount has gone up, the kids’ birthday celebrations have become more simplified. Our girls were 7 and 8 when their younger brother came and 8 and 9 when their additional brothers (twins) came, so it was hard to give them the celebration they deserved with all the craziness going on. That being said, there were years that it was easy (and affordable) to throw them a kids birthday party with friends. They have gotten older, and less interested, and I have been researching fun birthday ideas to make them feel loved at home without spending hundreds of dollars.

I’ve rounded up the best fun birthday ideas below to make your younger kids, your teens, or even your spouse feel special on their big day!

Make sure you get all the way to the bottom of this post — we have a really creative away for you to pay it forward and for you to give back to others each and every birthday! Such a wonderful lesson for your kids. Plus, it comes with a free printable!

Birthday Party Themes

Also take a look at these birthday party themes on Frugal Coupon Living.

Birthday Questions

Let’s kick off these fun birthday ideas with a free printable! Make these birthday quiz questions a family tradition. Download this free birthday interview printable and quiz each family member on their special day, year after year. You can keep all these answers in a memory keepsake box or birthday interview book. Cue the nostalgia!

Birthday Interview Questions

These birthday interview questions provide a time capsule of your child over the years! Come back to them as time goes by for a wave of nostalgia (and maybe a good laugh).

Dr. Seuss Crafts and Activities for Preschool

Get those small hands crafting. These Dr. Seuss Activities for preschool create some of the cutest crafts for kids. Of course they can be applied to kindergarten, homeschool, and other aged children. From Cat in the Hat to the Lorax, let’s get ready to create some of the most adorable Dr. Seuss Crafts.

Dr. Seuss Activities for Preschool

While Arts & Crafts are often looked at as a fun preschool activity, they actually have huge importance on the development of preschoolers. Most arts and crafts activities consist of moving fingers and hands, developing fine motor skills, muscles strength and the improvement of control. They also include decision making and understanding the purpose of scissors, glue placement, shapes that come together to create a larger picture. Blending crafts can also take place with creating a love of early literacy using many popular and well-loved children’s books.

Who is Dr. Seuss?

Dr. Seuss is a famous writer and cartoonist who published over 60 Children’s books. He was born in 1904 and died in 1991, but with his death was not lost the enjoyment of his beloved books. Dr. Seuss books are a great way to introduce stories, new vocabulary and a little silly humor into the young minds of preschoolers.

Popular Dr. Seuss Books for Preschoolers

The Cat in the Hat
Green Eggs and Ham
Oh, The Places You’ll Go
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Fox in Socks
The Lorax

Dr. Seuss Day

Dr. Seuss Day is every March 2nd. It’s Dr. Seuss’s Birthday but is also Read Across America Day, a nationwide reading celebration that takes place annually. During this date, preschools, schools and libraries honor the children’s author Dr. Seuss and the importance of early literacy.

Where to Buy Dr. Seuss Books Cheap

When looking for cheap Dr. Seuss books, there are a number of places to start. First, nothing is cheaper than free. You can find free Dr. Seuss books from the library and checking them on on loan. Return when you class is done with the readings. Another idea is putting a request out into the internet. A great place to look for used Dr. Seuss Books is in a local Buy Nothing Group. Facebook is a good place to start.

If you strike out at both the library and an online forum, try to locate used books at BetterWorldBooks. I suggest ordering well ahead of the date of your lesson. If you want new Dr. Seuss Books cheap, try Amazon but buy in a set (not individually.) This Dr. Seuss Beginner Book includes many of Dr. Seuss most popular books including…

- Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat Comes Back
- Dr. Seuss’s There’s a Wocket in My Pocket!
- Dr. Seuss’s Oh Say Can You Say?
- Dr. Seuss’s Please Try to Remember the First of Octember!
- Robert Lopshire’s New Tricks I Can Do!
- Al Perkins’s Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb (illustrated by Eric Gurney)
