You’re Not the Boss of Me



Crafts

Choose from the following craft suggestions depending on time, age ranges, and group size. {10–15 minutes}


K–2nd

Option 1: The Earth Opened Up

brown paper (one per child), white paper (one per child), colored paper, scissors, glue, crayons/markers, pencils

Gather supplies. Cut small rectangles out of colored paper (one per child). Make a sample craft. Write “God is the Boss” where children can see it.

Give each child one sheet of brown paper, one white paper, one rectangle, scissors, a pencil, and a glue stick. Place markers or crayons on each table. Have the children fold the brown sheet in half. They cut six slits halfway into the sheet towards the fold. Then open the paper up and wrap each strip around a pencil so that it curls inward. Glue the brown paper to the white paper. Have the children draw Aaron on the rectangle and fold the bottom (just below his feet) and glue that flap to the white paper so that Aaron is standing upright. Have children write, “God is the Boss” in the middle of the brown paper (if needed, they can copy what you wrote).
