FREEBIE: Learn about Genesis with the Cereal Bible
I wanted a unique way to share the Bible with my daughter who is a
hands on leaner. After seeing a Pinterest post where they used a cereal
box with a hodge podge of pictures to help review books of the Bible, a
light bulb went off. I created a printout for Genesis. Then I realized,
I just had an empty box. So I made cards that fit in the box. they
include mini coloring pages, a quick guide to the stories in Genesis,
a fact sheet, activities pages and so much more. We've been having so
much fun that I thought I'd share. My eventual goal is to do a box for
every book in the Bible. My Genesis printable is free. It is just a
small portion of what the other boxes will have in them. It can be
downloaded for free from Teachers Pay Teachers. Please let me know your thoughts and ideas for cards.
The printout is made to fit an an individual size cereal box.

Family Movie Night: Unicorns or Noah's Ark ideas
My daughter loves unicorns. I decided that this month's family movie
night would be centered around the unicorn theme. As I made my plans I
realized that all the unicorn foods were mostly just rainbow foods. As
such, this meal would also be the perfect accompaniment for the Veggie
Tales' "Noah's Ark" movie as well; thus making it the perfect night for
all ages.
It all started with this recipe. Like me, you may have seen the Pin for "Quick and Simple Unicorn Noodles" on Pinterest. I knew I had to make them. Bonus, the chef explains the chemistry behind the different colored noodles in the blog post. In our home, my husband and I call that "secret schooling." It's those little hidden lessons that we love. We chose to use a pesto sauce for the noodles which added a fun green shade. I thought the red sauce would be too overpowering for the pale noodles.
We like to do a craft on family movie night as well. We are currently creating an alphabet with animals on them. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to create the U for Unicorn. It may not be a real animal, but it is too cute an opportunity to pass up. I even found an adorable blog for inspiration.
After that recipe I started digging deeper into the world of unicorn food. There are a lot of cute options out there. We made a few alterations to make our meal slightly less pricey and more fitting to us. For the spaghetti, we did not use the more difficult to find and expensive cellophane noodles. However, this may be a common thing in your area (lucky). We made a Unicorn Poop veggie dip but I altered it to be the more traditional ranch and sour cream dip since we don't like greek yogurt. We used carrots for dipping but referred to them as unicorn horns. We go all the way with our themes.
For a second side, I opted for a super colorful fruit salad. It kept with the rainbow theme but added an extra tasty side that seemed needed. Add in your families favorite fruits. Bonus: Turn it into "secret schooling" by making this with your kids and talking about the colors of the rainbow (who remembers Roy G Biv?) You could also use this as a guide and turn it into a cute Bible lesson.
Now for the desert! Best part of the meal, right? I found a recipe for Rainbow Unicorn Dip. It's really just cheesecake dip with graham crackers. This recipe also makes suggestions for more natural food coloring.
Below, I have listed our movie night meal, activity and movie. Enjoy!
