Make a gift and interest map

Help a child notice interests, strengths, and skills they want to develop.

What you need

  • Paper
  • Colored pencils or markers
  • A family member who can listen

Adult guidance

Let the child choose what to share. Avoid ranking siblings or turning interests into pressure to perform.

Do it together

  1. Draw three circles labeled 'I enjoy,' 'I am learning,' and 'I want to try.'
  2. Add activities, subjects, and questions to each circle.
  3. Ask the child to choose one interest for a small project this week.
  4. Write a first step and the supplies or support needed.

Talk together

  • When do you feel most curious?
  • Who could teach or practice this with you?
Faith in daily life

Proverbs 22:29

Read the proverb and talk about developing skill through steady work.

What would practice look like for the gift you want to grow?

Keep going

Return to the map next week and add what the child discovered.
