• Take our kids to church
• Read the Bible to them
• Bible lessons with art pancakes
• Bible lessons with art projects (crafts)
• Verse of the Day. I have my oldest child read the "verse of the day" from my Bible App on the drive to school. This has led to some awesome Bible discussion on our drive!
• Pray together. My kids take turns praying for our day on the drive to school, at meals, and also before bed.
• Have your children memorize scripture. I like to print out whatever verse I'm teaching in art pancakes and put it on the fridge.
• Be an example yourself! Read your Bible, pray, go to church...put God first! Your children will notice.

• First off, check out my Pancake Tips page to see the products I use and the tips I wrote about. This is really important! Most pancake art mixes don't work well for pancake art and you don't want to get frustrated.

• You can make your batter up 1 1/2 hours before your friends come over. Don't make it up earlier than that because the rising agent in the pancake mix will go flat.

• If you use a large griddle, two people can share it. I generally try to have 2 griddles for every 10-12 people. If you have more griddles going than that, think of ways to avoid blowing the electrical circuit. I've done this a few times when I've had 3 griddles going at once.

• If you have more than one griddle going, divide your friends up an assign them a griddle to wait in line for.

• Decide on a pancake art "theme." It's best if you have a least one pancake art tutorial readily available to show them. Check out my YouTube channel for ideas.

• Create pancake art colors that fit with your "theme."  

• Provide syrup, candy for decorating your pancakes such as chocolate chips and M&Ms, whipped cream, and sprinkles

2 Corinthians 3:17 

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

• First of all, it's important to check if your griddle has old, leftover sticky oil residue. Sometimes there's nothing you can do about getting this off, other than washing it really good. Still, it's a good idea to check your griddle.

• If your griddle is old and the nonstick coating is wearing off, this can effect your pretty pancake colors.

• Consider buying a new pancake griddle if the above two factors are true for you. Check out my pancake tips page to see the griddle that I'm currently using.

• You don't need to add any white food coloring to get a nice white color (yes there is white food coloring!). Some pancake mixes are not very white. The one I use is very white so check out my pancake tips page if you'd like to buy the same one.

• Set your griddle for 200 degrees. Any hotter than that, and you risk browning your pancakes too much and ruining the pretty white color.

• Don't let your pancake cook for too long on your griddle. This can also brown your pancake. When you notice that your pancake starts to bubble, and loose it shine, flip it.
