Option 1: Rice Message
dark cardstock paper, liquid glue, rice, small bowls, black marker
Gather supplies. Write the words “Trust God” in large uppercase letters on pieces of dark cardstock (one per child). Portion rice into small bowls.
Distribute a sheet of cardstock to each child. Place bowls of rice and liquid glue on tables for children to share. Children will use the glue to trace the letters and then sprinkle pieces of rice over the glue.
Option 2: Coat of Many Colors
white cardstock, scissors, paintbrushes, straws, watercolor paint, cups of water
Gather supplies. Cut out the shape of a long coat from pieces of white cardstock (one per child).
Give each child a coat cut from cardstock, a paintbrush, and a straw. Put watercolor paints and cups of water on tables for children to share. Have children dip their wet paintbrush in a color and place a dot on their coat. Have children direct their straws towards the dot of paint and blow, distributing the color. Children repeat the process until their coats are covered.
