...and cows. That poop on the lawn beside the bibles.
Don't forget the cows.

atomat: lts only money...
No it's not.
It's early training to be a Watchtower slave forever.
It instills a sense of devaluing the self in young children - which sets the stage for creating the perfect little victim as well.

outsider: So, I'll talk about the art instead...are those cows (and stacks of paper??) in the picture next to the Watchtower sign? Definitely no cows in Brooklyn so looks like they're subliminally preparing people for the move to the boonies.
Definitely cows. Cute ones. That poop a lot. Cause Watchtower Farms are so important.
Not stacks of paper. Well, sort of. A stack of silver swords - the WT bibble.
Cow poop and bibbles.

JW_Rogue:
It's about making the parents feel guilty when their child goes to donate $0.25. This is a subtle guilt trip for parents, if your kids want to give, why don't you? You should set the example for your little JWs.- Absolutely there is an underlying message built into this for the parents.They are being told not to buy anything extra or "superfluous" for their children. The children are to deprive themselves. Well, that means mom and dad have to stop getting them treats or new things. If the parents don't do that...they aren't training their children right.
Sheesh, first they took Xmas away. And birthdays. And Easter. Valentines. No more spending money on frilly stuff. If ya ain't buying gifts at holidays, all the more for the Tower coffers. No holidays of any kind - and now....no ice cream and no....everything. Just more Kingdom Halls and literature carts.
What the hell is next? Only a bowl of rice three times a day??

Yes...I did some google searches for general activities to do with children to instill a sense of charity with them. None of the numerous ideas suggested for parents to do had to do with putting money into a church collection box to build new churches and give away propaganda. The activities had to do with donating food and clothing to shelters, working in soup kitchens...you get the drift.
if the WT are designing children "charitable" activities to give the appearance that they are a "charity", then they have a really, really twisted idea of what charity means.
*to add - and what is this about the necessity to be generous towards "God"? Towards the being who they claim is supreme and all powerful? Why would a child be told that God needs money??

problemaddict: Oh wow! Orphan Crow for the win!
I have to credit a friend on facebook for this little gem. He posted it this morning. I was floored when I saw it.
I remember as a child being so intrigued and jealous of my friends at school who would talk about their Sunday School activities and I also remember how the things that the churches of the world did with the kids would be scoffed at by the JW parents.
"We don't need to do coloring stuff and things with our children. They study the Bibble." Said self righteously and pompously. With a snicker thrown in for good measure.
How things change. Children activities with a Watchtower twist. Madness.

villageidiot: OrphanCrow, could you give us a link?
So sorry. I can't on general principle.
I have made a promise to myself not to link to the JWorg site. I am sure a simple search on their site will turn it up.

Whatever happened to telling children about real charity like giving to the poor and needy?
Since when is Jehovah the one who is poor and needy?
