Option 1: Charcoal Picture
paper, charcoal, hammer, baby wipes, charcoal pencils (optional)
Gather supplies. Break charcoal squares into smaller pieces with a hammer or use charcoal pencils. Print the words of Isaiah 6:3 on the top of a page (one per child). Make a sample craft.
Give each child the Isaiah 6:3 paper. Set pieces of charcoal or charcoal pencils on the table. Have children use the charcoal to draw (or trace if using the template) a six-winged angel (seraph) on the paper. Children can smudge the charcoal with their fingers to change the look and soften the lines. When they are done, have them clean their fingers with the wipes. Remind the children that God had an angel put a burning coal to Isaiah’s lips to make them clean.

Option 2: Paper Plate Angel Craft
paper, thin paper plates (one per child), doilies (one per child), stapler, staples, crayons, scissors, glue, construction paper
Gather supplies. Print the words of Isaiah 6:3 on paper and cut to fit on craft (one per child). Make a sample craft.
Give each child a paper plate, a doily, and the Isaiah 6:3 paper. Set crayons, scissors, and construction paper on the table. Have the children color both sides of the paper plate with crayons. To make the angel’s body, help children fold their colored plates in half twice (it will look like a quarter piece of pie) and staple to secure. For the head, have children cut a circle out of construction paper and draw a face on it. Glue the face to the top of the paper plate body. Have children fold the doily in half and glue to the back of the body as wings, then glue the Bible verse onto the angel. Remind children that Isaiah heard the angels praise God saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
Option 1: Tape Resist Holy Art
white cardstock (one per child), masking/painter’s tape (one to two per table), watercolor paints (one per child), paintbrushes (one per child), paper cups (two per table)
Gather supplies. Fill cups with water (two per table). Make a sample craft.
Give each child a piece of cardstock. Set masking tape, watercolor paints, paintbrushes, and cups of water on the tables. Have children tear off strips of tape and place them on the cardstock to form the word HOLY. When the tape is in place, they should paint with watercolors all over the paper and tape. When finished (and hopefully dry), carefully remove the tape to reveal the word HOLY.
