"Thanks Mom" - Mother's Day Bulletin Board Sent in by Carol Weddle Carol used the pattern from the Bird Picture in the Spring Crafts section of Danielle's Place to make this Mama bird with her chicks bulletin board display. You can glue straw or dried grass to the birds nest and feathers to the birds to add texture. Glue a gummy worm or realistic rubber worm used for fishing to the mama bird's beak.

Jesus is the Champion - Bulletin Board Display We made this at camp, which was based on the Olympic games. We used fabric like felt for the base, also for the small squares around and letters. The golden cup in the middle is painted on fabric with gold paint. The globe was made with small pieces of papers glued on the base. It was a group activity so lots of children were included. When finished we were marching with the banner around the campfire singing "Jesus is the Champion of the World". Sent in by Natalia Luptakova
Jesus is Our Treasure - Bulletin Board Display
We made this banner in the end of the camp called Treasure Quest. The whole week we were following pirates hunting for treasure, and discovered together, that Jesus is our Treasure. Letters are cut from felt, glued on fabric, and decorated with sequins. The treasure chest is made from brown cards, decorated with gold fabric, and gold paper. We used lots of decorations around the treasure chest to make it look very rich. Some of the decorations were sewn on to keep them in place. I still keep this banner in my office.

Save a popcorn bucket from the movie theater and make "popcorn" for it by scrunching up white trash bags and gluing them into the bucket. For the other "popcorn" on the door, draw popcorn shapes on a piece of paper and glue on pictures of your kids in the center of the shapes. Laminate them and cut them out. Print out the words using WordArt or other editing program and then draw the popcorn shapes around them. Laminate them and cut them out. The background is red and white striped material found at Walmart in the $2 a yard in the clearance bin.

Children think of ways they can follow in Jesus' steps and write things on paper feet cutouts and then tape them to the board. This bulletin board goes along with the lesson "Following in His Steps". There is also a lesson for preschool children. This display can be a work in progress. Before you start the lesson ask the children to think about ways they can follow in Jesus' footsteps. For instance, if you have the lesson on "The Women at the Well", you can ask the children what example Jesus left us in this story. You can write words on the feet like: compassionate, understanding, forgiving, accepting, caring, etc. As children think up new words, let the children add them to the display or point out words that are already on the board and tell how they relate to the story. |

Easter and Palm Sunday Display Use a white background paper and paint a curvy road with rocks on it. Then paint a scene of Jesus carrying a cross. This is easily done by placing a coloring page on an overhead projector and then tracing it onto the white bulletin board paper. Paint the scene with acrylic paints. Some shading makes it very pretty. Write, "The Road that Jesus Walked" at the top of the board. Cut green palm leaves from construction paper and glue to the road. If you put this up early, you can leave it on the wall for about eight weeks.

Using bright paint, have your children make footprints on black construction paper. Cut them out and put them on the path following the Bible. The border has Bibles on it.

This is an idea I read about (it was originally for a bulletin board) and then decided to adapt for my door. I covered the door with gold gift-wrap and added a red bandana border. The children's names are printed out and glued onto heart shaped doilies. I made the candy box from 2 pieces of poster board; I just cut 2 hearts as large as I could--one from each piece of poster board. Then I used the scraps to make the border around the candy box and cut slits in it so it would overlap (I used hot glue). The bow on the box is made from wired ribbon that says "With Love" all over it and it is wired through the box. I printed "Assorted Sweeties" on my computer using Word Art and a list of ingredients which reads: "Ingredients: God, Love, Friendship, Sugar, Spice, and 20% Mischief". I used a tack to hang the bottom of the box and then hot glued the top to the bottom.
The Love of Jesus is Blooming in Us
"Following in His Steps"

This bulletin is very simple to make. Use a bright blue background for the sky. Buy kite posters and little people borders. Print out each word of the saying on a separate sheet of paper and cut around the words in clouds shapes. Cut extra clouds. Staple on the clouds and saying, then the kites, and then the border. Staple a thin string from the kite to the hands of the children in the border.
