12-12-00When my four year old class is studying the Bible. We discuss how the Bible is a living book and everything in it is true and really happened. Then I have the children tear up different colors of tissue paper. Next, I have them put the thumb sized pieces of tissue paper on wax paper and paste them to it. The do this by painting over the pieces with a mixture of school glue and lots of water. The children put their stained glass aside to dry and the next day they glue on frames from where I cut out Bible or book shapes on an Ellison machine. Then I add a Bible verse when the frame dries. These are fun and easy they look really great on the window as sun catchers. I have also used this idea with angels at Christmas and allowed the children to sprinkle them with glue before they dry. A ribbon can be added for a hanger to make an ornament or just easier to hand up. This can also be used at Easter on crosses or eggs. It is fun and feels great.
Date: 7-12-99Terrific Bible board using Psalm 34:7 "The angel of the Lord encamps around all those who fear him, and delivers them." - I took dark purple, bright purple and pink construction paper and cut out simple angels. I then took the same colored construction paper and drew little falling bodies (arms and feet in the air more or less) for my children in my class (praise God I only had 14 to draw : )) using characteristics for each child (i.e. one little boy has and adorable pair of Mickey Mouse overalls he frequently wears, and I have a set of twins which I drew and cut out holding hands). I then took pictures of each child and trimmed their little faces out and glued them on the hand drawn bodies. Using a dark blue background, I stapled each and every child with an angel holding him/her up. For the lettering I used dark purple and yellow construction paper alternating the color for each letter and then I placed the scripture on the board in a wobbled fashion. I have had several good comments about that board. Parents and teachers appear to love it. |
