Give each child two toilet paper rolls and a piece of yarn. Put remaining supplies on tables. Have children decorate the toilet paper rolls and then staple the rolls together to form binoculars. Staple yarn to the sides so they can hang around the child’s neck. Remind children to keep their eyes on Jesus.

Give children the verse and a full-sized piece of blue construction paper. Set paper strips and glue sticks on tables. On the full-sized paper, have children make waves by gluing down both ends of a strip to form a long arch. Next have children glue down the arch in one or two places to form waves. Have children add strips until the page is covered with waves. Glue the verse in the middle of the waves. Remind children that Jesus came to the disciples by walking on water in the middle of a storm.

Have children take turns putting a piece of white cardstock in a box and then using a spoon to add some marbles. The first child shakes the box to spread paint around the cardstock to resemble waves. He then removes his paper when complete. Return the marbles to the bowls for the next child. Set markers, scissors, glue, and construction paper on tables. Have children trace their footprint onto construction paper, cut it out, and write “I will walk with Jesus” on it. Have children glue the footprint to the marble-painted paper. Remind children that Peter had faith to step out of the boat and walk to Jesus.
