Week 18: Jesus Heals a Blind Man
Morning Meeting (John 9). I think the Bible Videos on LDS.org are so powerful. For younger children, you could even watch the first half of Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind (until the man receives his sight). I've also included a very simple version of the story you can print in my PDF.
Family Home Evening:
1) Tell dad about our morning meeting.
2) Blind Fold Game. Wrap a blind fold over your children's eyes and have them try to walk to different places. Focus on how hard it would be to not be able to see. Ask them if they would like to be blind.

3) Spirit Eyes Object Lesson. Jesus often relates things from our physical bodies to teach us something about our spiritual bodies. You can either buy brown play dough (most likely at the Dollar Store) or make this AMAZING, easy, super soft home-made version. All you need is flour, salt, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, oil and water. Recipe and instructions are found in my PDF.
4) Treat - Mud Brownies. I am a food lover, and I can honestly say these brownies are one of the best things I've ever eaten in my entire life. The top layer is crunchy and the middle is gooey, chocolatey, and melty in your mouth. Try them.

Other Ideas:
- Toddlers can learn from the story that just as Jesus blessed the blind man, Jesus blesses us. Talk about various blessings and color this coloring page (from The Cozy Red Cottage).
