Easter Basket Craft

There are numerous ideas on the web for creating Easter baskets.  One of my favorites was taking berry baskets and weaving ribbons or fabric strips through the openings.  Line with straw or tissue paper and fill with any number of things...candy, slips of paper with scriptures, sample size toiletries, etc.  Give as a gift to someone special.

These can also be made when learning about baby Moses' mother hiding him in the basket or when learning about missionaries to Africa, where basket-weaving is popular.

Faith Heroes

When teaching Hebrews 11 (AKA Hall of Faith), kids can make "comic books" to resemble superhero comic books.  Take a presentation folder with brads and several sheets of blank paper, and have kids decorate cover.  Take several weeks to teach through the various heroes mentioned in these verses and have kids illustrate them comic book style.
Next read stories of  more modern day faith heroes, such as Amy Carmichael or David Livingstone and have them illustrate the stories.
Finally, ask kids how they too can be faith heroes and have them illustrate what God shows them.

Walk With Jesus

Supplies:
paper
washable paint
paper towels

Instructions:
Either go outdoors and make actual footprints by dipping foot in paint and stepping on paper or make tiny footprints by using finger to apply paint to pinky side of fist, then press onto paper.  Use fingertips to make "toes".  So cute!

This is a great craft for learning about Enoch, who is described in the Bible as someone who walked with God.

Ask students how they can walk with God.
