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 […]

I made this snack for our lesson about when Jesus calmed the storm. The small cups with lids came from Walmart in a package of twenty. I made five or six small packages of blue Jello and evenly distributed it between the cups, then put them in the fridge to set up. (Just follow the […]
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 […]
For our lesson about the paralytic whose friends carried him to Jesus and lowered him through a hole in the roof to be healed, we made this cute and simple snack. You will want to keep the frosting refrigerated until you’re ready to use it, otherwise it won’t be stiff enough to keep the Teddy […]
The kids made necklaces for one of our lessons on families. I bought a wide variety of beads and asked them to pick one bead that would represent each member of their family. Some of them wanted more beads than that, so we went along with it and let them add to the necklace. One […]
One of the easiest crafts you can do for Father’s Day is to let your kids decorate their own cards. I just get large packs of plain cards and let the kids go to town decorating. Here are a couple that my kids made for their daddy. You can always give the kids stickers, stencils […]

Each of the kids got to frost and decorate their own “colorful coat” cookie at snack time. This is the T-Shirt Cookie Cutter I got from Amazon. The […]
I am so in love with this method of keeping track of who is at Sunday School. We use a clipboard with an actual attendance sheet too, but these photo sticks are so awesome!!! If something could kill you with cuteness, I think these would. Materials: Camera Scissors Laminator & laminating pages Large craft sticks […]
This is the supremely easy snack we had for our lesson about faith, featuring the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water. I saw the idea originally at Our Littlest Disciples. Just grab some graham crackers and break them in half. Spread blue frosting on the cracker and place two Teddy Grahams standing up […]
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: […]

Materials: Plain white card Colored card stock for flower petals Yellow card stock for middle of the flower Glue Yellow paint / washable […]
Okay, I think this is our last out-of-season Halloween post! These little spider pizzas are a bit finicky to make, but lots of fun to eat!

Here’s the Valentine’s Day box that the kids and I made a couple of years ago. My husband got a birthday gift from my mom in a cool holographic box that was the perfect size and shape for valentines. I set it aside so that we could use it for just that purpose. Here’s how […]
This is a fun craft to make if you need something to occupy the kids for a while, such as for VBS. Plus it looks cool and it’s something practical that won’t just get tossed in the trash. A little tip: One roll of duct tape is enough to cover two regular-sized clipboards. Materials: plain […]
My 8-year-old helped me decorate these amazingly simple cupcakes for her birthday this year. I thought they would be a fun snack for Sunday School, too! I simply made cupcakes with a boxed cake mix and frosted them with store-bought frosting. I chose to make lemon cake with cream cheese icing, but feel free to […]
