Bonding over Paint by Number: How to Conduct a Successful FHE with Paint by Numbers

Our LDS paint by number kits make a great FHE activity. Conducting a successful FHE with our LDS paint by number kits can be as simple as following these steps:

  1. Choose a paint by number kit that aligns with your family's interests. With a wide range of paint by number kits available, you can find one that illustrates a temple, a Bible story, or a key concept from the Plan of Salvation.
  2. Create a comfortable and conducive environment. Set up a table and chairs, provide paint brushes and water, and make sure the area is well-lit. Don't forget the snacks!
  3. Begin by discussing the elements of the faith that are being illustrated in the paint by number kit. This can be a great way to foster deeper understanding and appreciation for the gospel.
  4. Start painting together, following the numbers and filling in the spaces. Take turns to paint different sections, or work on different sections of the canvas. Enjoy the process of painting together.
  5. Discuss the painting as you go along. Ask questions, share insights, and encourage everyone to express their thoughts and feelings.
  6. End the FHE by discussing the painting and the elements of the faith that were illustrated in the paint by number kit. This can be a great way to review what was learned and to make connections to the gospel.
  7. Display the painting in a visible place in your home as a reminder of the FHE and the principles learned.

Incorporating paint by number into your FHE can be a fun and creative way to teach children about different elements of the faith, foster deeper understanding and appreciation for the gospel, and bring the family closer together. By following these steps and making it a regular part of the family routine, you can ensure that your FHE with paint by numbers will be a success.
