I love how this craft turned out! Seeing all of the kids’ cute little handprints just sort of melts me heart. 🙂 We did this craft for one of our lessons on families, and while it can be a little finicky (especially with a large group), I think it is totally worth the results. I […]

We made this really neat temple snack for our lesson about when twelve-year-old Jesus was left behind after the Passover festival. I like that kids can get creative and use the “building blocks” to make their own version of the temple. For this particular model I used pretzel “dipping sticks,” but pretzel rods or smaller […]

I made these answer sticks for the kids to use for a variety of activities in the classroom. They can be used to answer yes/no, right/wrong, good/bad questions. One side is red and one green, with a nice sturdy handle for them to hang onto. I tried laminating the thicker card stock, but that was […]
I found this card design on Pinterest and thought it would be a fun option for the kids to make this year. The little ones will need help with the writing, but it also gives them the chance to tear pieces of paper and glue them on. Yay — something they will excel at! Materials: […]

They would be great for a lesson talking about creation, how God is our light, or if you just want a fun project to keep the kids occupied. Such a simple concept creates some […]
