Exciting New Assembly Workbooks

Our full-color assembly notebooks have exciting new features!

Even with the best intentions, sometimes it’s hard to concentrate on the assembly program - especially for the little ones. Young and old, we all want to pay attention and get the most out the Circuit Assembly program.

Parents face the same struggles. Therefore, we’re excited to announce our latest “Make Jehovah’s heart rejoice!” and “Rejoice in Jehovah!” notebooks with full-color illustrations throughout. These workbooks serve, not only as a way to help you in your job as an instructor (Deuteronomy 6:7), but also to help children stay immersed in every talk. The cute and colorful drawings are a sure to be a hit! We are confident that children of all ages will love it.

With each new project like this, we think: “How will this activity affect kids’ attention? Could this puzzle be intuitively related to the subject? Is it easy to solve? Is this illustration in keeping with the theme of the talk?” After the many hours of design, we hope you will agree with our assessment. Please comment in the notes below!

We made a little twist in this latest version. Each assembly has its own activity book. With prompts like “Time to apply” and “Time to think,” we hope the youngsters will think about what they learned - in line with the “knowledge check” at the end of each section. We hope these little details help you review the program as a family.

Of course, our pre-teens will like the more challenging crosswords and “fill-in phrases,” which are a creative way to remember scriptures related to the talks. Even you parents may wish to complete your own copy! We don’t expect your children to complete every activity. If they don’t finish an activity during the assembly, they can use them as a review later on.

Toddlers will more easily pay attention thanks to the colorful illustrations on every page. What better way to involve their heart! For sure, they will feel the excitement of finding how many times a word is repeated in “The Listening Game” or spotting a good deed as they use their crayons or pencils to “make notes.” This workbook is not designed for small children who need to be kept busy with crossword puzzles, coloring pages, mazes, and activities that encourage them to look around for objects. The workbook’s material is all directly related to the assembly talks to help them follow along without distraction. 

The real success of the book is in how much our children walk away retaining from the program! Furthermore, the assembly activity book gets them to think about personal application. For example some activities feature: “Draw a scene where you are doing a good deed to an elderly brother or sister;” or “Circle the chores you helped your parents with before the assembly; if you didn’t help out, write when you plan to;” or “Draw a picture of yourself facing a difficult test to your faith. What scripture from the talk will help you?” and more. Now your children can see how the talk affects them personally!

Thanks to these creative notebooks, kids will cherish what they’ve learned - for weeks, months, or even years to come. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed producing them!

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.

Our Beautiful Jigsaw Puzzles - Here's How They Are Made

Crosswords, gardening, needlepoint, crochet, and coloring... Which is your favorite pastime? How about a good old fashioned jigsaw puzzle? With much of the world under lockdown and looking for something to pass the time, jigsaw puzzles have taken on new role: to save ourselves from boredom. The prime minister of Australia even referred to jigsaws as essential and allowed people to leave the house to buy them. Here at Ministry Ideaz, our paradise jigsaw puzzles are all the more essential, as they allow us to pass the time while focusing on Jehovah's beautiful promise that's just around the corner.

Each puzzle piece must be uniquely shaped, to avoid one accidentally fitting into the wrong place. That means 500 different shapes for a 500-piece puzzle, each drawn by hand by workers. Before a puzzle is cut for the first time, each piece is sketched on a sheet of paper draped over the finished image.

Pieces of metal are then shaped to form an elaborate cookie cutter made just for that jigsaw puzzle; it takes about four weeks to build one. The cutter can be used only a limited number of times before its edges are dulled and needs to be replaced.

The cutting tool for a 500-piece puzzle uses over 100 feet of steel.

Images are printed on matte paper, to avoid glare,
which is then laminated onto cardboard.

A die-cutting machine applies up to
1,100 tons of pressure on each puzzle

Once the image is pasted onto cardboard and the pieces are designed, the cookie cutter is laid on top and 1,100 tons of pressure is applied.

Completed puzzle, all cut up

The cut-up puzzle pieces are swept into plastic bags

The bags get packed into boxes

All ready to ship
