FISH DRAWING
Draw a picture, glue blue material, or use blue tissue paper to create water and waves on a piece of butcher paper or a large piece of construction paper.
Take small pieces of string and glue across your paper to create a net on the paper.
Put it up on a wall, with your parents’ permission.
Cut out several fish out of construction paper. Write the names of people you know who you would like to fish for and then glue or tape your fish onto the picture. You can also draw fish on your paper and write the names on the fish that you draw.
Then pray for these "fish" and ask God to help you to become a fisher for people.
SINK OR FLOAT
Fill a large, clear container with water or put water in your bathtub.
Remember that when the fisherman caught the large load of fish that their nets became so heavy that they began to sink. So, find some toys, pencils, anything you can put into the water.
Predict if it will sink or float in the water. Put the item in the water and find out what happens.
BOOKMARKS
Use an index card or cardstock and cut out a bookmark.
Copy the words below onto the bookmark and decorate it using whatever materials you have available.
I will be a fisher of people.
Put the bookmark somewhere that you will see it often and be reminded that God can use us to do amazing things. You can be a fisher of people.

One Love Art
Supplies:
· 1 Sheet of each; Blue, Yellow, Tan, and Pink Construction Paper.
· 1/2 Sheet of Red Construction Paper.
· Scissors.
· Pencil.
· School glue or a Glue Stick.
First, trace each of your arms and hands on the yellow, pink, and tan sheets of construction paper. Place the blue sheet aside until all of your hands have been traced and cut out.
Then, cut each one out. You should have a total of six hands and arms cut out. Next, cut out a heart shape using the red construction paper piece.
Now, use the glue stick and add a strip of glue to each finger, hand, and arm. Make sure your left and right hands are facing the right way.
Then, place two matching hands on each of the short sides of the blue construction paper. Place the hands so that the thumbs make a small heart in the middle.
Next, place the last two hands on the top and bottom of the paper. The fingers should meet in the middle area. Then, apply glue to the back of the heart, and stick it in the middle of the blue construction paper. It should look like the hands are all holding the heart together.
An Emoji a Day
Emojis have become a meaningful way we communicate with one another—communicating our moods, feelings, thoughts, interests, and identity. How do you use emojis to express different things, including aspects of who you are?
Click on the link to see how a 22--year-old digital artist from the Ivory Coast, created his own emojis, to reflect his life in West Africa and important characteristics of who he is.
Think about important aspects of who you are and if you can find an emoji that reflects your life.
Then create a list of new emojis you can make. Use markers, colored pencils or make them digitally. Set a goal to create one emoji per day (or week).
Mrs. A would love to see your new emojis.
Me Museum
Museums hold collections of an artist’s work, history, and many other important aspects of life. Think of all the kinds of collections you might see at a museum (e.g., paintings, artifacts, drawings, photographs, sculpture, collage, architecture, textiles, ceramics, fashion, etc.).
Create a collection about yourself as a way to explore and express your identity.
What kinds of items do you want to include in a museum about yourself? Think about how you can represent social identity characteristics like race, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, etc. plus other aspects of identity like hobbies, interests and talents with their collection.
Then gather and organize those artifacts, photographs, drawings, and other items that represent who you are. Share your museum collection with your parents, grandparents, friends in any way that is possible.

Shine Your Light
Find or get a battery powered candle at home. Use this candle as a reminder to be a “light of the world,” just as Jesus is. Christ, as the Light of the World, is our source of light, and our "lights" should reflect Jesus. I challenge you to care for your lights, making sure the ‘flame’ stays bright and shining. (by keeping the batteries new) I challenge you to keep your lights shining, and I challenge you to follow through with activities that let your light shine. (Such as being kind, giving to the blessing box, being compassionate, helping a friend, listen to a friend that is having trouble, and more.)
Decorate your candle to make it really special. Use whatever you might have around your house. You can add the words, “Let my light shine, every day.”
Listen to Music
With help from an adult, find the following songs and play them. Listen to the words. They are all about shining your light to the world.
Godspell, You Are the Light of the World
Newsboys, Shine
Hilary Duff, Shine
Rascal Flatts, Shine On
Collective Soul, Shine o
This Little Light of Mine
Glow-in-the-Dark Jar

· Paintbrush

January 6, 2021
STAR ART
Trace and cut out a large yellow star.
Write or cut out the words WISE PEOPLE STILL SEEK JESUS!
Hole punch the top and use ribbon through the hole to hang your star at home!
Wise Men Craft
The Wise Men are made from paint sticks.
Simply paint the sticks in bright rich colors. Be sure to leave room at the top for the face. Paint the faces with any color from tan to black. The beards can be scraps of brown peel-and-stick fun foam, yarn, felt, or anything you have around to make a beard. Since the wise men were not kings, there are examples below of what they may have worn on their heads. The "turban" is a scrap of fabric. You may also make a crown if you want. Be sure to add “bling” to the turban.
The eyes are two dots made with a Sharpie.
You may add a scarf or cape with fabric or paper. Be sure to decorate your wise men.
Add a little torn fabric loop and glued it to the back of each wise man. You can hang them if you wish.
Camel Star Craft
Materials Needed:
Scissors and Pencil
Draw and cut out a camel
Felt sheet - tan or light brown
Poster board
5 wooden craft sticks in a color of your choice – this is your star
Glue – wood glue will work the best for the craft sticks
Use a printed camel illustration, cut out the shape of the camel. (You could also draw your own camel on a blank piece of paper to cut out.)
Trace your camel shape onto the felt sheet, making sure you trace it backwards if you’re using felt with an adhesive back like we did.
Cut out your felt camel and glue onto the poster board or attach with the adhesive (if your felt has an adhesive back).
To make the Star of Bethlehem, line up two of your craft sticks in a vertical line, overlapping them a bit. Glue them together and onto your poster board. Then, glue two more craft sticks in an X shape over your vertical line. Finally, glue a third craft stick horizontally across to complete an eight-point star.

So, here we are at the end of the year 2020. Hooray!
At the end of a year, I look back over the year to think about what happened in my life. What did I accomplish, where did I go, what didn’t I accomplish, and how did I live as Jesus would have wanted me to live? After looking back, I then look forward. I ask myself, what do I want to accomplish in the new year, what is something I want to change about myself in the new year, and what can I do to shine the light of God and Jesus around me.
I ask that you do the same, look back and then look forward.
To help maybe just a little bit, I would like for you to look back at all the activities that I had posted for you to do. Find ones that you liked and do them again or find a different way to do the activity. Find ones that you didn’t do and work on them. Think of your own activity that you want to do and then get it done. Have fun with whatever you choose.
I miss you all soooo much! Have a great week and a great beginning of 2021!
Talk to you next year!
From, Mrs. A
December 23, 2020
Materials Needed:
board (poster board or a piece of foam board in the shape of a rectangle), two colors of paint, two paint brushes.
Directions:
1. Cut the board you are using so that your handprint and both footprints will fit.
2. Paint or color it with a bright red or any dark color you choose.
3. Trace a L and an E on a piece of paper. Cut it out and place it on the board to get the spacing for your footprint and handprint.
4. When you know you have the spacing right, trace around the letters.
5. Now using white or a light-colored paint, brush the inside of your hand. Place your now painted hand beside the L. Wash your hand.
6. Now paint the bottom of your feet, one at a time. Place your footprints in a V shape. Wash your feet.
7. Now paint the letter L and E with white or the same light color paint you used for your handprint and footprints.
8. Let it dry, then place where everyone can see it.
Materials:
Clear Contact Paper, Masking Tape, Tissue Paper (whatever color you would like to use), Permanent Marker
Directions:
1. Cut two large sheets of contact paper.
2. Tape the corners of one sheet to the counter and peel off the paper backing so that that sticky side of the contact paper was facing up.
3. Lay the colored tissue paper down on top of the sticky side. Smooth it out so that it is flat.
4. Cut small hearts that will fit in the palms of your hand. Place the hearts on the tissue paper. (You may want to use a glue stick to secure the hearts to the tissue paper. That will keep them from shifting.
5. Peel the paper backing off the second sheet of contact paper and smooth it out on top of the existing tissue paper and hearts.
6. Place your hand so that the heart will be in your palm. Then trace using a permanent marker. If you can, use a marker that is very close to the color of your tissue paper. You can also trace your hand on a piece of paper then cut it out and trace that onto the contact paper. Once your hand is traced, remove the masking tape. Lift the paper off the counter. Cut out the hands, and ta-da!
7. Then fold down the fingers to make the “I Love You” sign. Hang in a sunny window.

Stuffed Happy/Joyful Face
Materials Needed: Felt or construction paper
Cut two identical large circles from your felt or construction paper. Hole punch holes around the outside edges of the two felt or construction paper pieces and tie the edges with colorful yarn. Add some tissue paper or nylons or cotton filling to the inside of the happy face before tying it closed.
Hang it in your room as a reminder to be happy but always look for the JOY even when you might be having a bad day.
SIMPLE NATIVITY
Materials Needed: 5 popsicle sticks, White card stock or any heavy white paper, Hot glue gun and glue, Crayons, colored pencils, or markers
Take 5 popsicle sticks and hot glue them together as shown above. You now have a simple barn.
Next take a white piece of card stock and trace around the outside of the popsicle barn. Then cut it out just inside of your tracing.
Hot glue the paper on the back of your barn.
While the glue dries, have mom or dad help you search for a “simple nativity” scene. Then draw your own nativity scene on the white paper inside the barn.
Use leftover white paper or construction if you have any and write the word HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE on separate pieces. Glue them onto the frame of your barn.
Write JESUS on the top sticks.
You can also use a permanent marker to write the words on each stick if you would rather do it that way. You now have an ADVENT NATIVITY SCENE. If you want, you could add yarn or string and hang it on your tree or someplace else special.
PAPER BAG BOOK
Supplies Needed: 4 brown paper lunch sacks, Colorful twine, White paper, Double-sided tape or a glue sticK, Hole punch, Measuring tape, Scissors, Crayons
Lie your paper bags on top of each other, all facing the same way, with the fold on the back.

Now cut 5 pieces of white paper 5″x 4 3/4″ and use your double-sided tape to stick them onto the paper bag pages.
Write the word JOY on the front of your book.
Draw or write times where you found JOY during a bad time or a good time.
December 9, 2020
Peace Poster
Take a piece of poster board or five pieces of construction paper. Divide the poster board into 5 spaces and label each one with one of your five senses. If you are using construction paper write a sense on each paper. Write or draw what goes in each category that you think shows what PEACE is to you.
Peace Signs
Take a white paper plate... those very flimsy ones from the dollar store. They have a light coating on them so that the tape will pull up fairly easily. Put masking tape on the paper plate in the shape of a peace sign. Be sure that all the edges of the tape are down so that no paint would seep through.
Use watercolors. Cover the entire plate with as many colors as you want. After your painting has dried, carefully peel off the tape, then outline your PEACE sign with a black sharpie.
Use cardboard to make a PEACE sign. Then decorate it with anything you may have.
Examples: buttons, bottle caps, stickers, flowers, or paint.
Put a string around the top and then hang it up for everyone to see.
PEACE ROCKS
Find some smooth rocks. Look in your yard or someplace else there might be rocks and stones.
Use paint or permanent markers and decorated the rocks with peace signs or peace symbols.
Share your rock with someone or leave it in the park or on the sidewalk. A place that someone may find it. Hopefully your PEACE OFFERING will make someone think of being at peace.
Think of your own idea for sharing and showing PEACE.

October 21, 2020 - Hope
HOPE IS A BELIEF
It is what we hang on to when things are not going the way we expected or when times are tough.
It gets us through.
It gives us that glimmer that we simply can’t ignore.
It sparks a feeling in us.
It speaks to us and lets us know we shouldn’t give up because change can and will happen.
It keeps us going.
It helps us look to the future.
GROW SOMETHING
SEEDS AND BULBS REPRESENT HOPE
Plant some seeds in a flowerpot and hopefully plant them in the spring.
Watch the seeds spout and grow.
Plant some bulbs in the ground and watch them grow in the spring.
There is nothing like nurturing a new plant coming up out of the soil to teach about hope. The seed is hope for a flower, tree, or vegetable. Growing plants from seeds shows you that sometimes you have a wait a while and be patient while still having hope for something you want.
MAKE OR BUILD SOMETHING
Building or making something takes a collection of materials or supplies and turns them into something else.
A stack of wood can become a birdhouse to feed the birds in the yard.
A pile of Lincoln Logs can become a catapult.
Paper and some paint can become a beautiful piece of art.
An old cardboard box can become a castle.
A worn tire and some rope can become a swing.
A bit of dirt and some plastic dinosaurs can become a fairy garden.
Fabric and thread can become an amazing shirt.
Butter, flour, sugar and eggs can become cool cupcakes.
Building and/or making is hopeful because it shows us that we can change things by taking what is in front of us and working to turn it into something more . . . something better.
GIVE
Giving of yourself to others allows you to see that you are powerful and can make a difference.
Pick a person or a charity that you would like to help.
Begin by thinking of a simple idea you could do and get an adult to help you make it happen.
For example, if your brother or sister has been feeling sad or scared lately, think of what you could do to for them. Maybe you could make a card, say something kind, or play a game with them to help them feel better.
Or, if you hope that other kids don’t go hungry, perhaps you could do a few chores around the house, buy some canned goods and donate them to our Blessing Box at church.
Giving is related to hope because you will see that your willingness to give is a gift to others. This allows not only you, but others, to have hope for the future.
REACH FOR GOALS
Set a small goal and then plot out steps to take in order for you to complete it.
Make it achievable.
Start with a simple goal and come up with the steps you need to take to make it happen. Then figure out when you are going to do each step. You might need someone to help you with reaching your goal. Ask a brother, sister or parent to help.
Be sure to celebrate when you achieve your goal!
Hope for the future isn’t the same as wishing.
Hope has action behind it. It is not just wishing things would get better but actively doing something to help make that so.
BE GRATEFUL
There is nothing that is more important to hope than gratefulness.
You cannot be hopeful if you are not grateful for what you already have.
Start a hopefulness journal and write down things you feel hopeful toward or things that you hope will happen.
Writing it down helps to make it more real.
Being grateful shows us that we have a reason for hope. It shows you that you have more than you thought possible already. Once you know this, you are able to focus toward hope for the future.
HOPE IS FORWARD LOOKING.
HOPE IS A POSITIVE, OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK FOR YOUR FUTURE.
HOPE HELPS US COPE WITH LIFE WHEN THINGS GET DIFFICULT.
HOPE PROVIDES A HEALTHY WAY FOR US TO LIVE AND HELPS US TO BE HAPPIER AND HAVE A MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE.

Mrs. A has made this example for you to follow.
September 16, 2020 - Forgiveness
"FORGIVENESS" SQUIGGLE CHART
Use neon markers to write FORGIVENESS on a piece of construction paper. Then draw "squiggles" circles all around the big word FORGIVENESS. Color the little squiggle circles with various crayons, while trying to count to 490! The picture will be colorful and will remind you the message about forgiveness!
FORGIVE FLOWERS
Draw a large circle in the middle of a piece of construction paper or poster board. Draw 7 petals on construction paper. Write F-O-R-G-I-V-E so each flower petal has one letter on it that spells FORGIVE. Use some chenille wire, yarn or anything else you want for the stems. Glue the petals around the circle, add the stems and glue a button in the middle of the circle if you have one. You now have a FORGIVE flower.
The most important activity you can do this week and every week is to forgive, forgive, and forgive. Remember Jesus said to forgive 70 times 7 which is equal to 490 times.
September 9, 2020 - Friends
Friend Cut Outs
Take two half sheets of construction paper. Fold back and forth (like a fan) and then draw a "friend" on the front with the hands straight out. Cut the "friends" out but do NOT cut on the fold where the hands would be. When this is unfolded, all the "friends" should be hooked together, tape to a wall or on a poster. Write MAKE A FRIEND.... LOVE AND FORGIVE! On the “friends”.
Circle of Friends
Draw and cut out 5-6 "friends" out of paper. Form the cut-outs in a circle with hands touching like they are holding hands. Glue onto a large poster board or individual construction paper posters. Write FRIENDS LOVE AND FORGIVE.
Magnetic Friends
Draw and cut out a picture of a “friend" on heavy poster board. Take pieces of cloth to glue on for a shirt, etc. Glue some yarn around the head for hair and color their "friend". Attach a magnet to the back of the "friend". As an extra, add a "sign". Tape a toothpick to the hand of your cut out "friend" and attach/tape on a small sign to the toothpick that says FRIENDS LOVE AND FORGIVE.
Friendship Bracelets
Take 3 different colors of yarn or colored string and braid them together to make a bracelet. Wrap it around your wrist and tie loosely. Make another bracelet and give it to a FRIEND!
September 2, 2020 - Back to School
August 26, 2020
CLAY BASKET AND BABY ART:
Take modeling clay or play dough to form a basket and a baby to put inside the basket. If the baskets are big enough, take a toothpick and write MOSES on the clay baskets!
LOVE AND PROTECTION COLLAGE
Take a large piece of paper, or a piece of poster board. Draw a circle in the middle of the paper. Write in very large and bright letters -- GOD'S LOVE AND PROTECTION. Then draw or write words about God's love and protection for us or for Moses -- words that you think would describe or show God's love and protection for us.
Baby Moses Wave In A Bottle
Supplies:
A clear bottle (like a water bottle)
Water
Oil (vegetable oil or baby oil)
Blue food color
Pony beads (any colors)
Pipe cleaners (Brown)
Hot glue gun
The trickiest part is getting the density of Baby Moses right so that he floats on the water but sinks in the oil.
To make Baby Moses, hot glue 3 of one-color pony beads together, then a different color bead at the top. (This is supposed to look like his blanket, and his head.) Then you bend a brown pipe cleaner around in an oval shape, and glue the baby on top. You can also add a little tuft of hair with a black pipe cleaner on top of his head.
Fill your bottle about half with water, then put in one drop of blue food color. Drop in the baby, fill the rest of the way with oil, and hot glue on the lid. That’s it!
Some tips for getting the density of Baby Moses right:
Pony beads seem to float perfectly between the oil and the water
Once you glue the pony beads together, they float on top of the oil.
Pipe cleaners will sink in water.
Therefore, the baby is too light (floats on top the oil) and the pipe cleaner basket is too heavy (sinks to the bottom of the water) so when you glue them together, they float in the middle.
You may have to experiment to get this right.
August 19, 2020 - Forgiveness
“Forgive” Acrostic
On a long piece of paper, write FORGIVE.
Write a word telling a way you can forgive someone.
(See the example to the right.)
“Forgive” Flowers
Get some paper and markers and colorful "buttons" for the middle of the flowers (to glue on).
If you don’t have buttons you can cut a circle out of paper for the middle of the flower.
Draw large flower petals and write F-O-R-G-I-V-E one letter to a petal, so each flower should have 7 petals so one letter will fit on each petal!
Use some chenille wire for the stems, if desired.
Stone Painting
Get a smooth stone to paint a cross, or write FORGIVENESS, or another word or picture from the message about Forgiveness.
Place them where you can see them or place them around a park, school, or any place that someone might find it.
August 12, 2020
POSTER
Using large poster board, magazines, newspapers, scissors, glue, and markers, make a collage of people, places, or things that can you help or you can pray for.
WATER WALKING
Take off your shoes and socks and take turns placing your feet in a shallow pan of water.
Walk on the floor or on the sidewalk and make footprints. Then have your brother or sister or friend put their feet in the water and try to walk on the exact same footprints as yours. Each child will follow after and see if they can walk on the same prints.
If someone happens to make a new print, then you can choose which foot prints you want to follow.
You walked on water!!!
WATER BALLOON ART
Fill up water balloons.
Go outside and throw the water balloon and let it "splat" on the sidewalk.
Take sidewalk chalk to trace around your water mark to create sidewalk art.
(Remember to clean up the balloon pieces and put them in the trash!)
WATER SQUIRT GUNS
You need a squirt gun and buckets of water.
Use your squirt guns to write names on the sidewalk that you can pray for.
Bible words such as Faith, Peter, Lord, Jesus, Help, or Sacred, from the message can also be written. Use your own bible and find words that you can write with your squirt gun.
HAVE FUN, TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR ART AND SEND THEM IN TO TUCCGODMOMENTS@GMAIL.COM AS A GOD MOMENT!
August 5, 2020 - Shine Your Light

June 30, 2020
Process
1. Start by removing the label (if there are any) from your glass jar.
2. Cut up the tissue paper into small pieces. You can cut them into whatever shapes or pieces you want.
3. Mix up your glue paste. Mix Elmer’s glue with water – about 1-part glue to 2 parts water – but you can use less water to make it even thicker.
4. Use the paintbrush to brush the glue paste onto the glass jar. Go section by section, sticking the tissue paper to the jar as you go. Feel free to add more glue in any places the tissue doesn’t seem to be sticking as well. Go all around until the entire jar is covered as much as you would like. This is where you can really have fun with it! I like mixing all the colored pieces together and covering every open space. You can also do different variations, such as a line of blue followed by a line of green, etc. Or if you have multiple shades of one color, you could make a neat fade up the jar.
5. Let it dry so it’s no longer sticky when you touch it. Go over the jar with a bit of the glue paste in any spots where the tissue paper is not completely stuck or is coming up at all. Let it completely dry.
6. Add the tea light or small candle in the bottom of the lantern and enjoy all summer long!

When God Made You
By: Matthew Paul Turner
1. Take out any art supplies that you have and a piece of paper. Fill up the page with a portrait of yourself, especially using your favorite color. You can draw some of your favorite objects into the design as well.
2. Make a self-portrait of just your face and neck on small, square sheets of nice art paper. Maybe 5 x 5 or 3 x 3 or any size square. Then draw portraits of other people in your life. Arrange the portraits on a piece of poster board or make a booklet out of all the faces. This is your community of people. Isn’t it amazing?
Freeze Tag
1. Have one kid be "it". If you have 10-12 kids have two kids be “it”. Set up boundaries if you are not in an enclosed yard; use trees or park benches, or other objects as markers.
2. When the people who are "it" call out "Go!" the other kids scatter in different directions.
3. The people who are "it" will try to tag the players. Any player who is tagged will freeze. They can only be unfrozen and run again if another player who has not yet been tagged touches them.
4. The last people who are not frozen become "it" in the next game.
SPUD
The object of this ball game is to run as far and as fast as possible from the person who is throwing the ball and to dodge the ball when it’s thrown at you without moving your feet. Be sure to use a very soft ball, such as a foam ball, which is specifically made to be thrown at people without hurting them.
How to play:
1. Start with a person in the middle. That person is the thrower, or "it". Everyone else should stand within arm’s reach of the thrower.
2. The thrower tosses the ball straight up into the air and spells SPUD as the ball comes back down.
3. As soon as the ball is released, players begin to run away from the thrower.
4. When the thrower catches the ball, they yell, "Spud!" at which point players immediately freeze where they are.
5. The thrower then takes 4 giant steps spelling SPUD to get closer to a player. The thrower then tries to tag a player by throwing the ball. The frozen player can try to dodge the ball but is not allowed to move his or her feet. If the player is hit, he or she will get the letter "S" and move to the middle to be the next thrower.
6. If the thrower misses, then the thrower repeats 2-5.
7. The game is played until a player gets all four letters "S-P-U-D," which means she/he is out of the game. The game continues until there is only one player left. That player is the winner.

Chromatography Butterfly Craft
Materials
Non-permanent markers
White coffee filters
Pencil
Cups of water
Black pipe cleaners
String
Scissors
Procedure
1. Choose one marker to experiment with first. (Hint~ black and brown are the most exciting!)
2. Take one coffee filter. Put it on a newspaper or some kind of material to protect your table. Draw a thick circle around the center of the coffee filter where the ridged part meets the flat center. Use a pencil to write the color of the marker being used right in the center. (You’ll want to know what the original color was being used, and the pencil won’t smear and will remain intact after the experiment.)
3. Fold the coffee filter in half and then in half again, resulting in a cone shape.
4. Get a short glass of water. Pull apart the cone shaped coffee filter so it balances right on the glass with the tip of the cone just touching the water.
(Be sure NOT to let the marker circle go in the water, just the uncolored tip of the coffee filter cone.)
5. Let it sit and watch what happens as the water begins to flow up the paper.
6. Repeat with different colored markers. Here are ours starting out…
7. After the water has reached the outer edge of the coffee filter, place it on a newspaper to dry.
Directions for Using Coffee Filters to Make the Butterfly Craft
Cut black pipe cleaners in half.
Take one coffee filter and scrunch it up in the middle.
Wrap a black pipe cleaner around the center.
Shape the ends to form an antennae.
Tie a string to the center and hang!
Butterfly Craft
Materials Needed:
Mixed Media (or watercolor) paper or any paper you might have
liquid watercolors, markers, crayons, or colored pencils
paintbrush
glue
Shimmer Poms
Wooden Scoop Stick
Wiggly Eyes
pipe cleaners
hot glue gun
scissors
1. Begin by drawing your butterfly wings on your mixed media or watercolor paper. Use your liquid watercolors to paint the butterfly wings. When the watercolors have finished drying cut out your butterfly wings.
2. Add some fun lines and dot details to your butterfly wings with your school glue. Then shake neon glitter onto the glue. Shake off any excess glitter and set aside to dry.
3. Heat up your hot glue gun. For your butterfly body, grab a large shimmer pom and 4 medium shimmer poms and hot glue them onto the scoop stick. Cut two sections off your pipe cleaner, bend the ends down to make antennae and hot glue them behind the butterfly head. Then hot glue your wiggly eyes onto your large shimmer pom.
4. Finish your gorgeous butterfly craft by hot gluing the butterfly body in the center of the watercolor butterfly wings.
Ping-Pong Toss
Fill plastic cups halfway with water and place in five rows. Label each cup with a score, making sure that the cups closest to the kids are worth one point and that the cups farthest away are worth the highest amount of points. Set out a basket of ping-pong balls and have the kids take turns tossing their balls into the cups. Each player gets 30 seconds to toss as many ping pong balls as they can. The player with the highest score at the end, wins.
Bean Bag
Ladder Toss
Grab a step ladder from the garage for this one. Label each of the rungs with points and have the kids toss bean bags to see how many points they can get.

KITE DAY
Take a day and fly a kite. You can either buy one or make a kite. Watch the wind fly your kite. Here’s a very simple kite to make. There are many ways to make a kite, you just need to look on Pinterest.
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR PAPER BAG KITES
paper lunch bags
yarn or strong twine/string
popsicle stick
scissors
streamers
tape
scissors
embellishments: stickers, paint, markers, crayons, construction paper, washi tape
DIRECTIONS
To get started, decorate the paper bags using a variety of embellishments. Stickers and washi tape work really well to add some fun prints and colors! You can also draw designs with markers and crayons or add polka dots and stripes using washable paints. Just make sure the paint is dry before moving on to the next step.
Using a pair of scissors, snip a little hole on the bottom base of the bag. This will be used for the kite string.
Cut a piece of yarn or string about 18-24 inches long. Tie one end to the middle of a popsicle stick and feed the other end through the hole in the bag. The popsicle stick will keep the kite string from pulling out when it’s flying.
Attach streamers to the open end of the bag using tape. Now the kite is ready to fly!
FLASHLIGHT GAMES FOR KIDS
Flashlight hide-and-seek – The person who is “it” is the one with the flashlight making it more challenging to find a good hiding place! A simple tag with the beam of light is considered a “catch”.
Flashlight capture the flag – Set some boundaries in your yard or nearby park and use lit flashlights for the flag. Covering the light is against the rules and when your team sees the light you are guarding moving, you better get moving too!
Flashlight freeze – Get silly and work out the wiggles by dancing and moving until the flashlight beam hits which is the signal to freeze! Those who move in the light are out!
Flashlight puppet show – Shadow puppets are always popular and you can set up a light stage with a simple flashlight and a smooth surface.
Holy Spirit Pinwheel
Make a simple pinwheel using the template provided.
(You can make your pinwheel larger than the template.)
Decorate your pinwheel.
After the pinwheel is completed, run and watch your pinwheel move with the wind - or place them in front of a fan. Even though you can't SEE the wind you know it is there because you see the pinwheel moving. Just like the Holy Spirit can’t be seen, but we know that it is with us.
