It’s 2015; time to bring back some sanity to the
excessive digital entertainment. So let’s hit the restart button, with a
Facebook Page called The Best Marble Activities, dedicated to parents who tell me at marble events, "All my kids want to do is watch TV and play games on the computer." The Marble Jar Activity is my first post [January 4, 2015]. Teachers in schools and churches have found it
very effective. Geared here to the home, when someone is caught spending
free-time in a healthy, unplugged activity, a marble is placed in the jar. When the jar is full celebrates with a special reward.
The Bests Marble Activities page, is a place where parents, kids, collectors, teachers, Churches...can share wholesome, fun activities with marbles. Our goal in sharing these activities is to ignite in kids and adult the captivating joy that yours truly has been blessed with.
