Crafts
Option 1: Wind Sock
string, paper streamers, paper plates, crayons, stapler, glue, cotton balls, hole punches
Gather supplies. Cut string into 10-inch lengths (one per child). Cut streamers into 12-inch lengths. Make a sample craft.
Place string, streamers, and remaining supplies on tables. Help children fold a paper plate in half and staple it shut. Have them write “Come, Lord Jesus!” on the paper plate (fold-side up) and color it. Children stretch the cotton balls and glue them around the words. They then glue streamers to the circular edge of the wind sock. Help children punch two side-by-side holes at the top of their wind sock. Thread the string through both holes and tie the ends together for hanging. Remind children that Jesus will come again! We should be ready and keep looking up!
Option 2: “No More ______” Craft
paper, crayons
Gather supplies. Make copies of a paper that is divided into three sections labeled “No pain,” “No death,” and “No tears” (one per child). Make a sample craft.
Children draw a picture to represent each section, then put a large X on top of each picture. Remind children that the new earth will be perfect in every way!
