| Craft ideal of the week. |
| Each week a new craft will be featured. Crafts will be suitable for most age groups and appropriate for Sunday School or Children's Church, as well as home crafting projects, etc. I will try to make sure that these crafts can be made with items you probably have on hand. |
| Tree of Thanks Supplies you will need: 2 Paper Grocery Bags Construction Paper (fall colors;yellow, orange,brown,red) Crayons, Markers, or Pencils Glue Scissors Cut open the grocery bags so it lays flat. Cut out a tree trunk and branch shapes . Use colored paper and cut out leaf shapes. Have children write what they are thankful for on the leaves and hang them on the tree. This can easily be adapted for younger children by simply having someone do the writing for them. |
