Since God used angels so much in the story of His Son’s birth, the Happy Hubby and I have been talking about them with the Happy Buddy quite a lot. We introduced him to Gabriel, the angel who told Mary she would be Jesus’ mommy. And I told him that there are other angels throughout […]
Celebrate Pentecost with this fabulous Paper Pentecost Candle & learn to say 'Hello' in twenty-one other languages. An ideal craft for kids of all ages & super easy to make with our Free Candle Printable. Pentecost falls 50 days after Easter Day. Traditionally the Paschal Candle which is lit on Easter Day is extinguished at Pentecost & congregations are invited to take the light (the Good News of Jesus) out into their communities & share it with those they meet, just as the disciples did on that first Pentecost. This Paper Pentecost Candle not only reminds us of that light but also the Holy Spirit which brought tongues of fire enabling the disciples to speak in many languages so they were able to share the good news with everyone around them. On your candle, you'll find 'Hello' translated into 21 different languages, all of which can be coloured in if you wish. Alongside each translation is the name of the country where the greeting is from. This is such a neat way for kids to explore & learn simple greetings from around the world, as well as reminding them that their church family stretches way beyond their own country, & that they are part of a worldwide church family united in celebrating Pentecost. To make your Pentecost Candle simply download your Free Printable here. It really is simple to make, all you need are scissors, a glue stick & some colouring pens/pencils. When you've made your Paper Pentecost Candle you could: :: Make your Pentecost Candle 'light up' by placing a battery tealight in the base of it. Watch how the colours of 'hello' glow in the dark. :: Hold the candle in your hands & pray for your friends far & near. Pray for those in your church & churches around the world. :: Stand it somewhere in your house to remind you to shine Jesus' light wherever you go. :: Learn to say 'hello' in six or more new languages. Whether you make these candles with your family, school or church, I hope they shine bright for all to see. As the text on the back of the candle says "Shine your light brightly this Pentecost and always." Looking for more creative ways to celebrate Pentecost? You might like these ideas.

Hi everyone! Sorry for being MIA for about a week, but we finally did our cross country move. Now we're calling California home.... and trying to tackle mountains of unpacked boxes. Eeek! Right now I'm taking a quick break and figured I'd upload a fun DIY toy post. During our last week in Jersey, I kept wanting to craft something... but found it difficult given that everything had already been packed away. So while we were playing outside with friends, I spotted this Y-shaped stick and thought it was the perfect for making a slingshot! DIY Paper Slingshots! (This post contains affiliate links. Thank you so much for your support.) When I told hubby about my idea, he showed me how he used to make slingshots as a kid. So I took his design and adapted it to the twig. Now, I know that some of you consider this a weapon... but we made sure to set some ground rules and only aim at objects and NOT at people. Materials Needed to Make DIY Paper Slingshots Strong Y-shaped stick (or you could use your fingers.. see below for photo) Rubber bands Paper Scissors Let's Make Paper Slingshots! 1. Cut out rectangles from paper. (I think my rectangles were about 1" x 2" or 2 1/2".) 2. Then, it's time to fold them so that they can be shot in the air. I simply folded them lengthwise first, and then again, and then folded them in half, and then in half again. Once you've made one, it's super easy to make others! 3. Then take your rubber band and wrap it around both ends of your slingshot. To load the slingshot, wrap your folded paper around the middle of the rubber band. (Your paper basically sandwiches both strands of the rubber band. Your hands should be holding the two ends of your folded paper together.) Then, pull back and let go! Here's what it looks like from the front! If you have a tough time finding a nice, strong Y-shaped stick, no worries. You can also just use your fingers too as the slingshot. I definitely lived out my Katniss Everdeen fantasies while shooting these around the apartment. :) So hopefully you'll have fun making these with your kids too.

I am EXTREMELY excited!!!!!! My excitement stems from the fact that this upcoming Sunday begins my NEW Quarter with the KIDDOS. We are continuing to EXPLORE Bible History. We will be wearing our "Explorer Hats" and singing "We Are Bible Explorers." We do this at the beginning of each NEW Quarter. Since we left off with David and Goliath...we will be picking up with David and Jonathan. I love the story of David and Jonathan because it is truly a story of BEST friends. We learn so much about TRUE friendship when we study the friendship of David and Jonathan. Home Connection Workbook We have a few NEW additions to this Quarter's Material. I have added a "HOME CONNECTION" Workbook. I hope the Workbook will spawn more interaction between the parents and children as they review the lessons that they have learned. I am looking forward to seeing the response to the new Workbook. I will keep you posted on the reaction of both the PARENTS and the Kiddos. Memory Verse Sticker Page The inside of the Home Connection Workbook is fill with Puzzles, Memory Verse Work, Questions, etc. I have also included a Memory Verse Sticker Page....The Kiddos will place a sticker in each square IF they know their Memory Verse. Assigned on 1st Sunday Assigned on 2nd Sunday THIS is this weeks and next weeks Home Connection Workbook Pages. The Kiddos will have from Sunday to Sunday to complete the pages. (I am currently teaching each lesson for 2 weeks.) The first week we introduce the lesson...the second week we will REVIEW the lesson, making sure the KIDDOS really understood what they learned. Now on with what we will be doing during class THIS Sunday. To introduce the lesson on David and Jonathan I am going to ask the KIDDOS if they know what the meaning of the word FRIENDSHIP. We will add the word FRIEND to our WORD-WALL. I will also, ask them if they know what the word JEALOUS means. We will add that word to our WORD-WALL too. We will have several CARDS to add to our Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? WALL. Because, I like to make sure the KIDDOS can answer these questions about our lessons we have a entire WALL of our Classroom dedicated to the Who? What? When? Where? and Why? of each lesson. As we get into the story I will be using these visuals. They were easily made...I used a clip art program, a bit of manipulation of the pictures then printed and laminated them. Because, I wanted them to stand up, I stuck them to these picture easels that I bought at the Dollar Tree. I LOVE having eye catching VISUALS.... We will also be singing the song, "DAVID AND JONATHAN WERE BEST FRIENDS." by: rld. The KIDDOS will be making their OWN Quiver as their TAKE HOME project. These are made from PRINGLES and Yarn. The arrows are made from a variety of colored cardstock. Each arrow has a quality of GOOD FRIENDSHIP on it. The kiddo will color and add the stickers. I know the BOYS are going to be VERY EXCITED about this activity. :) Our Memory Verse is Proverbs 17:17. I thought this was a PERFECT MEMORY VERSE for this lesson. The KIDDOS get a MV card just like this one. They can color the picture and take it home as a reminder of the need to MEMORIZE their Memory Verse. During Class we will sing this to the tune: Frere Jacques. I have added a "NEW" place to our MAP. I added "The Stone of Ezel" which is said to be in a field between Ramah and Nob. I love having a KID friendly map up in our room. Review Game is a BOW and ARROW Game!!! Questions For Our Review Game Target For Our Review Game Our REVIEW game will surly be very exciting!!! The kiddos will get an opportunity to SHOOT an ARROW!!! My plans are for the kiddos to ANSWER one of the question from the lesson (I printed them on ARROWS to go along with the lesson.) after which they will get the opportunity to shoot an arrow at the target! (The bow and arrow are a nerf style product. I purchased it at our local Walmart.) Next Sunday we will be REVIEWING this lesson and doing our EXPLORER JOURNAL Activity!!! The Explorer Journal Activity will consist of a Picture of David and Jonathan....the Kiddos will color it and add a BOW (made out of popcicle sticks) and a small arrow. I LOVE their LOVE of their Explorer Journals. I have had parents tell me that their past Explorer Journals have become some of their FAVORITE books to look through. I love it because it takes all those projects that have a tendency to end up in the floorboard of the car or left behind in the pew and keeps them in a SPECIAL place for the children to TREASURE! We are looking forward to an exciting Quarter. Please keep checking back and see the exciting times we are having during BIBLE CLASS. Blessings, Ronda

These handprint lilies are so beautiful and surprisingly easy to make! They'd make such a thoughtful handmade gift idea for Mother's Day if you make a small bouquet and tie them together with a ribbon. Or you could make a bouquet of handprint Easter lilies if you use white paper. Can Easter lilies be pink? I think they're just white? Either way, they're adorable for spring and they're a wonderful low mess craft to make with the kids! I had such an awesome helper when I made these paper handprint lilies! My spunky 5 year old loves crafts, and she
Today's lesson in Kindergarten was about the Wise and Foolish builders. The kids have been singing "The Wise Man Built His House on The Rock" since they were babies so this story was familiar to most of them. We talked about what a parable is and the reason Jesus told parables. We did this activity as we talked about why we should build our houses (lives) on a solid foundation (Jesus) and not on the sand! They loved this and thankfully it worked like it was supposed to. I did reinforce the house on the rock by taping the popsicle stick to the bottom of the pan before stacking up the rocks! We couldn't have that house falling too! The last time I tried this some of the rocks wouldn't stay put and the house leaned a little! I wanted it to stand firm this time. Before the storm came! The rains came down! The house on the rock stood firm! A very simple craft. Find pictures of houses and have the kids glue one on a rock and the other sideways on some sand! Another wise and foolish builders song! Found this song here I printed off some coloring pages to use as visuals to go along with the song. I put the words on the back of each picture Tune: This Old Man This wise man, he built well he built well up on a rock When the rains came down And the Floods came up This man's house stood firm and strong! Foolish man, he built wrong he built wrong up on the sand When the rains came down And the Floods came up This man's house came tumbling down!
