Set supplies on tables. Have children use a pencil to trace their hands onto construction paper (with help, if needed). Children then cut out the hands and glue them to a craft stick so the palms overlap and the fingers point outward like wings. Have children add googly eyes to the craft stick and draw in a mouth with permanent markers. Tell children that when caterpillars transform into butterflies, it can remind us that an even greater transformation occurred at Jesus’s transfiguration.

Give each child an egg cup strip. Set supplies on tables, with paints on paper plates. Have children flip their strip so the outside of the carton is facing up. Children then insert the pipe cleaners into the premade holes and bend them to make antennae. Have them glue googly eyes under the antennae and then paint their caterpillars. Tell children that when caterpillars transform into butterflies, it can remind us that an even greater transformation occurred at Jesus’s transfiguration.

Give each child a mountain scene. Set remaining supplies on tables. Have children glue white, gray, and brown yarn pieces to fill in their mountains, and yellow and orange yarn pieces to fill in their suns.

Give each child a coffee filter and clothespin. Set remaining supplies on tables. Have children fold their coffee filter in a tight accordion fold and secure in the middle with a clothespin. Have them use paintbrushes to drip different colors of paint onto their coffee filter until it is completely covered. They then carefully open and fan out the two sides of the coffee filter, keeping the clothespin in place. Next, the children can glue two googly eyes to the clothespin, bend a pipe cleaner, and glue it above the eyes to make antennae. Tell children that when caterpillars transform into butterflies, it can remind us that an even greater transformation occurred at Jesus’s transfiguration.
