Give each child a paper plate to use as his or her workspace and to aid in carrying the craft home if still wet. Place remaining supplies on tables. Have children choose twelve craft sticks and lay them side by side lengthwise. The children then cover two additional sticks with glue and place one across the top of the twelve sticks and one across the bottom. Once the frame is secure, children can carefully flip it over and decorate the edges using provided supplies, leaving space in the center for a picture. Have children attach a magnet to the back. Encourage children to glue a picture of themselves to the frame as a reminder that we want other people to see Jesus when they look at us.

Set supplies on tables. Each child chooses a rock, draws a cross on it, and writes his or her name under it. On the other side have children draw a crown with Jesus’s name under it. Then they can decorate their rocks. Remind children that when we follow Jesus, the cross comes before the crown.

Set supplies on tables. Children should write their name in large block or bubble letters in the center of a piece of paper and then decorate their names. Next, children can walk around the room and write one word to describe the child whose name is on each paper. Encourage children to write kind, descriptive words with creative lettering.
