Sunday School Lesson 2:  PRAY DAILY!

What you will need: Stock paper (any color really), crayons, glitter spray, markers, copy a page from the Bible Stories book about praying and print out a free copy of kids praying from the web.

Fold your stock paper like a card.  Decorate the front of it however you like. When done, spray some silver glitter spray on the front of it.  You may not be able to see that in this picture, but in the light it just makes it look better and more majectic with all the little shiny glitters on it.  Next, open the card and paste your bible story page on one side and a coloring pic on the other side.  As the children are coloring, you can explain and talk to them about praying and talking to God.  You can put their name below the coloring pic and they can take it home with them.  Great for 2/3 yr olds and even older.  They are never to young to plant a seed in.

Sunday School Lesson 1:  JESUS LOVES ME, I LOVE JESUS!

What you will need:  clothes pins, paint, markers, peel and stick magnets, Jesus coloring picture page, crayons.

Paint your clothes pins different colors.  When dry, cut peel and stick your magnets.  Take a marker and write I LOVE JESUS on it.  Next, print out a coloring picture page free from the web for the kids to color.  Write their name on the page.  They can take the clothes pin home to hang their picture on the fridge.  You can talk about Jesus to the kids while they are coloring and ask them questions or just start to plant a seed of them getting to know Jesus. 

BEFORE

AFTER





I started off with sanding the gloss out and then primered with what I had around the house, eggshell interior/exterior paint.  Next A little spray paint, I even taped off some lines to add a little something extra.  Next I painted the draws a different shade of pink.  Next, you can buy those decals that stick to anything but not permanently, they're made out of plastic.  A little contact paper on the top draw cut to size and wala.... you have a new kids dresser.

SWEET POTATO PLANT
I just put the tooth picks in the potato, put in a glass of water and this is after 4 wks.  Change the water every 3-4 days.  Before then if the water goes down just add a little.  I'll be potting it this week in a hanging pot.  They make beautiful plants.  And as you trim down the longer vines, it will get fuller.  Will add another pic in a couple months.

OVEN BAKED CLAY CATERPILLAR FOR KIDS

Here's a great idea to save on all those glasses and cups with your kids wanting something to drink every hour when it's hot outside.  Save those water bottles and reuse them.  Put coolaid in them and put in a basket in the fridge.  Great for picnics or beach time, and you don't have to bring them back to wash them.  Unless of course, you want to reuse them again. 

You can even make so many up for one child and so many for the other.  Take a marker and write their name on them and put them in separate baskets in the fridge.  Once they're gone for the day, that's it.  Quit having to wash cups and glasses all day long because no one wants to reuse the same glass.

I decided I'd clean my kitchen with house hold products today.  I used baking soda, dawn dish soap and white vinegar in a bucket of warm water.  I started off with wiping down my counters and moved to the floor.  The baking soda and vinegar have a reaction that bubbles away grim.  On the tough spots leave it sit for a few moments.  Even my floor came out cleaner by soaking it with these products in warm water and then using clear water to mop it up and dry.  There isn't even any odors now and it's fresh and clean.
