Each April and October, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints enjoy a General Conference where leaders will deliver special talks and messages to listeners around the globe. For many, this is an uplifting, spiritual weekend they won't soon forget.
But for parents of small children, a 10-hour, two-day event can feel challenging, to say the least. One way to help them is to provide an uplifting option that allows them to stay occupied and quiet while keeping their focus on a faith-building activity.
LDS Paint by Numbers offers a simple solution to your problem that might make everyone in your home a little happier come Conference weekend. And right now, you can get 34% off your entire order for a limited time.
LDS Paint by Numbers is selling a Conference activity book that's perfect for kids between the ages of 6 and 12. It's filled with interesting facts about all the apostles as well as activities that go along with each one, including mazes, crosswords, sticker by number and coloring pages.
Each activity takes about 15 minutes, so your child can be present and pleasant during the talks. And maybe something will actually sink in from what they're hearing!
When you're not busy quieting down the kids or struggling to keep them entertained for two hours at a time, that frees you up to better enjoy the Conference messages yourself. So, really, it's a gift for both of you!
Fun and beneficial for adults and children
For teens and adults who like to keep their hands busy while they listen, LDS Paint by Numbers also offers more challenging projects in various sizes and skill levels. There are paintings of Christ and of temples and they range from easy to very difficult.
Available projects include paint kits, diamond painting kits so the whole family can enjoy an uplifting activity. The LDS Paint by Numbers kit includes a pre-printed canvas, paint pots and paint brushes along with instructions and a reference image.
No matter a person's age or ability, activities that involve making art are good for the brain, explains Malaka Gharib in an article for NPR. She references a number of studies that show creating art has benefits for mental health and as a means to reduce stress.
