Make the Memorial Special: Kid-Friendly Stationery and Letter-Writing Tips

Handwritten letters have a warmth that digital messages simply can’t match. For children, crafting notes can be a meaningful way to invite others to the Memorial. Not only do they practice communication skills, but they also learn how to share their faith in a sweet, personal way. Even a short letter may plant a seed of curiosity, letting the recipient know just how important this occasion is.

✏️ Tip: Let younger kids practice saying their invitation out loud first. It helps them refine their message before putting pen to paper, boosting both clarity and confidence!

💌 Small Letters, Big Impact

When children carefully choose words for their invitations, they’re more mindful of how the recipient might feel. A short hand-drawn illustration or a sweet greeting can go a long way toward opening someone’s heart to learn more. Those little letters show thoughtfulness that can stand out in our fast-paced world.

💡 Fun Idea: Encourage kids to add a small caricature of their family or a simple doodle of a Bible scene or of paradise. It keeps them engaged and personalizes each invitation.

Little Hands, Big Hearts: Making JW Meetings Engaging for Kids

Picture this scenario: You’ve just settled into your seat at the Kingdom Hall, your preschooler perched beside you, seemingly on their best behavior. The speaker begins, and you think, “We’re off to a good start!” Five minutes later, your sweet little angel is flailing like a miniature superhero, tugging at your sleeve, and asking—loudly—if it’s time for snacks. Sound familiar?

Trying to keep a little one captivated during a meeting can feel like convincing a puppy not to chase its tail—adorable but nearly impossible! Between the whispered “shhh!” exchanges and the occasional meltdown, you might catch only half of what’s shared from the platform. But here’s the comforting news: you’re not alone.

Why Children Struggle to Pay Attention

Kids are naturally curious, with imaginations the size of a small galaxy. They thrive on engagement—touching, seeing, doing. A formal, structured setting can be a lot for active young minds. Yet we know how important it is for them to start building a strong spiritual foundation. So the question becomes: How can we channel that boundless energy into real spiritual growth?

3 New Kids' Workbooks Feature Stickers and Bible Memory Game

Kids' Meeting Workbooks are Back!

2022 is almost here! It's time to refresh your notebooks and workbooks. Kids love to be involved and appreciate it when something's made just for them. Add colorful illustrations plus features to help them follow along and participate in the meetings, and you have a workbook that both kids and parents will love. Year after year, Ministry Ideaz puts together workbooks that meet those needs.

Workbook Helps Children Focus During Jehovah’s Witnesses “Always Rejoice” Convention

Ministry Ideaz provides a “kids’ convention workbook” for the “Always Rejoice” convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Designed for children between the ages of three and 13, the 2020 workbook consists of 112 pages of listening games for convention talks, crosswords, mazes, notes, keyword charts, and “What I Learned?” exercises. In total, the workbook features around 350 different exercises and activities for kids of varying ages to enjoy during the 2020 Jehovah’s Witnesses convention.

While the convention notebook for kids includes plenty of fun activities, the goal is to help children learn and pay attention to the convention. Each talk has two full pages of activities that keep children engaged and immersed in the content, and many of the activities encourage kids to listen carefully to the talk. Thanks to this focus, the workbook will not distract children from the convention.

Here's what others have said: 

“I love the Kids Convention Workbooks I ordered for my daughters and my niece and nephews. Thank you so much for updating them to include a living room as a location for our convention as we will all be viewing our convention from our homes this year! I thought that was a thoughtful addition! The rest of the workbook looks amazing and I look forward to seeing them all filled up this summer!” (anonymous online shopper)

“These are great!! My kids can hardly wait until we start watching the convention to use them!! They are going to be a lifesaver to have especially this year since we’re viewing the program from home. I would definitely buy them again. ”  Lacee D

“Thank you guys for your hard work! Since the quarantine, I have been thinking of ways I can encourage the friends without, of course, gathering together. The kids convention notebooks and other items I'm sure will help to bring a smile to their faces. I appreciate that your items are economically priced as well, helps me to stretch my money in order to do the most good. Thank you guys!” - Aurea

Over the years, the kids’ convention notebooks have been well-received. Adults love that they keep their children busy and focused on the convention. Further, they find them much easier to deal with than spending the money and ink to print out workbooks from home.

Product Spotlight: Just for the Kids

Meeting and Ministry Supplies Just for the Kids

Can you hear it? The "crunch, crunch, creek" of snow under your child's feet as they search under the snow for the perfect rocks. They carefully place the smooth stones on the newly made snowman and turn to you and ask for a carrot nose. Perhaps when you think of snow, you think "brrr, cold. Where's my snow shovel?" But for many children, the first snowfall brings shivers of excitement, not memories of chilly weather. 

Kids love to have fun and love it, even more, when mom or dad take the time to play with them - even if that means braving the ice cold. In the same way that a little fun makes snow more enjoyable, things like chores, studying and other activities can also become more enjoyable and exciting when kids feel involved and are having fun. However, sometimes finding supplies that are kid-size is a little difficult. 

Bags and Cases

At Ministry Ideaz we recognize the challenge of finding suitable supplies for kids and offer a variety of kid-friendly items. A full-size briefcase is probably not going to work for a toddler. Instead look for smaller bags that will be easy to carry for little ones.

For Boys

Consider either the "Charlie" Bag - a simple design just the right size for children - or this adorable toddler briefcase (shown on to right). This toddler's case is designed to be a child-size version of a standard soft-sided briefcase. Not only can your child have something just-their-size (at only 1 lb), but can also be just like daddy with a bag that matches his. If your child is older, check out the larger version, the "Caleb Case", designed for children aged 5-13.

For Girls

Enter bright fun colors! For little ones, try the Little Girl's Ministry Tote. This simple bag reflects the design of the boy's "Charlie" bag, but with fun colors like pink, lime green, turquoise, and lil

Sophia Bag

ac. Also available is the imaginative 'Lil Anna Bag. This bag brings to mind an almost cartoon style - also available in a variety of colors.

For the older girls and moms alike, the Sophia bag may be just right. This ministry bag is a bit big for toddlers, but it perfect for the "big kids" who can carry a little more. With enough room for all your meeting supplies, this bag is great for all ages and moms like it too. Get your favorite color for your own unique style.

More Supplies

Now that your child has their own bag, they get to pack it with their meeting supplies. What is your child's favorite publication? Do they have a notebook and a pen? If they are prepared, they are more likely to feel involved and able to participate.

If you are looking for add-on items for your order, consider specialty items for the kids - meeting notebooks, or fun pens and pencils. Even these items are designed to appeal to their imaginative young minds.
