2. In class have your children color the church picture and then cut out the windows.

3. Give each child three pieces of contact paper. Peel the back off of one of the pieces and show your children how to stick the tissue paper to the sticky side of the contact paper. Tell them to try not to stick the tissue to the side of the paper so that they can stick the contact paper with the tissue on the back of their pictures to cover the windows.  If you don’t have contact paper you can just have your children glue the tissue paper to other paper and then cut out the shapes of the windows and glue them to the church pattern.

I am tickled with the ideas I find on your website! I work with small children one Saturday per month and although I don't always use the lesson, the craft is always a hit. When I am inspired by the Lord to use a particular subject, I can find support material at The Resource Room. When I don't feel so inspired, I browse your website and always find the perfect material! I also purchased your book and it is a great saver when unexpected occasions arise. May the Lord continue to use you to spread His word. Jessie

I have been teaching Sunday School and Children's church for over 30 years in various places (my husband was military). I use active "hands on" activities and dress in costumes etc. But I have been doing this for so long I was beginning to feel a little dry. Now I have your web site and the new ideas have just been what God has ordered to get my creative juices going for His Glory once again. Thank you I appreciate this site and all the wonderful ideas.

This is a very old poem, but you never forget it.

Here is the church

( Children intertwine their finger so that the fingers are inside their hands.)

Here is the steeple

( Children put their two pinkie finger up to form the steeple.)

Open the doors and see all the people

(Children turn their hands inside out.)

 

Here is a new version I wrote - "Here is the church, here is the steeple, but it wouldn't be a church without all the people."

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have used the free crafts on your site for about a year now, and I just subscribed to the resource room and bought the We Can Learn e-book. What a wonderful resource for my preschool class at church!!! You have been used mightily in the work we are doing in Elkton, SD, and I hope to continue with the blessing your website has been.

When I first started teaching at my church. I was really nervous because I was not organized, not knowing how or what to teach I was ready to give up because I did not want to be one of those teachers that just give the children something to color. I really wanted them to learn. Well I came across this website and every Wednesday I am excited going into class and teaching your lessons. I thank God first and thank you because you have been a blessing in my life as well as the children. Tammy
