Karma Gayleg, the World Forum Foundation National Representative from Bhutan, shared a list of 18 non-toy gifts for children from Nourishing Minimalism. Here are a few of the items on this list....
- Classes - Music, dance, riding, drawing, and classes are a great way to encourage children in their interests and let them know that you pay attention to them and what they enjoy.
- Memberships - Zoo, science museum, children’s museum, YMCA membership, etc. These are particularly great for family gifts!
- Activities - Mini golf, bowling, skating rink. These are so much fun! And a big part of the fun is going together. Children love spending time with the adults in their lives, they want to see you enjoying your time as well as enjoying them.
- Recipe and Ingredients - Kids love cooking with their parents. Baking something special or cooking dinner is an ideal time to spend together and learn life skills. Print out a recipe, purchase all the ingredients and set a date for cooking together.

Scroll to: Sonshine Christian Academy --- listed under schools. If you have children in other schools you can list them as well.
Don’t forget that every time you shop at GIANT, a portion of your receipts goes directly to Sonshine. However, you need to register your GIANT card. If you need the info again, contact Miss Margie or Miss Carol.
Sonshine holds a STAR 4 designation, certified through the Dept. of Education as a Private Academic Preschool and Kindergarten and licensed through the Dept. of Welfare. We strive every day to ensure that each child reaches their individual potential by providing materials and activities appropriate for their developmental level. We have resources that allow for the overachievers as well as those who need extra help to succeed every day.
Children are a gift from God. They have not been haphazardly formed or birthed. They have been created in the image of God. They have been entrusted to us for our nurture and care. Children and adults need each other.
Our Food Basket Program is dedicated to helping families in our local area. This month, through the generosity of our families, several families were helped with food baskets. As a continued outreach of Sonshine, we ask that every family donate just ONE non-perishable item (breakfast foods, diapers , wipes, household cleaning products, etc.) EVERY WEEK. Let’s work together at serving those in time of need.
