This is a super easy craft to create! There are easy to follow directions and color and black & white options included. The accordion shows what Jesus was saying when He told the parable of the prodigal son. The son took the inheritance money, then he wasted the money until it was gone, then he fed the pigs, and finally went back home where his father welcomed him home. The pig looks best if cut out, but this can be cut on the dotted lines to the edge of the paper and used as is. This one-page printable can be downloaded here.

Last week at church in Primary ( our children's group ) I taught a lesson about the Savior, and His Resurrection. Jeff and I came up with a Time Machine, so that I could help the kids understand a little bit better by bringing people back from past, through the Time Machine. I started with a piece of Foam Core Board and then just started gluing anything loose that I could find in the garage. Old fuses, broken smoke detector, knobs...lots of knobs and a plastic lid. Then I bought some silver spray paint and sprayed the whole thing. Next I started added colors with arrows and paint. Then came the information part of the machine. Last but not Least...Jeff found these amazing lights that we glued on. Yes, it even made me think that maybe, just maybe...we could make this machine work! :) I figured if I believed it, then they would too! So I hung it on the back door of the room when they weren't looking, then I went up front and talked a little bit about the Resurrected Savior. I then said to the children..."Wouldn't it be neat if we could have someone from the past, someone from when Christ lived upon the earth, to come and share with us what it must have been like to see Him and know Him?" They all nodded their heads. So I asked them to turn around, but stay in their seats and let's see if we could get my Time Machine to work. I then went to the Machine, pushed some buttons on the calculator that I had glued on, and turned my dial to the word Bible and then I turned on the lights, about that same time our pianist started playing the theme song to Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium. It is beautiful and and has such a magical sound to it.( It's a cute movie ...if you haven't seen it.) As soon as the music started... then there was a knock from the other side of the door and I said "Oh my goodness boys and girls, I think our Time Machine really worked, let's see who is here." I had already had our 3 volunteers out in the hallway and dressed up in costumes that I had brought. How fun it was to see their little faces when the volunteers came in one at a time and shared their message. But more important was the testimony of Christ that they shared with the kids. One of our volunteers portrayed Mary Magdalene, the first to see the Resurrected Savior. It was amazing, as she shared with the children how she knew the Savior, how He touched her life and how it broke her heart to have Him Crucified. Then she spoke of the amazing joy, when He appeared unto her. Most of the adults in the room had tears in their eyes,it was touching...all of the volunteers had prepared well and were amazing at portraying their character. Real people who saw the Resurrected Savior. I am so glad that the kids liked it, I am glad that Jeff and sweet dear little boy (who is our friend) and I all designed and worked on it. It was the first thing that they asked me about today when they came into Primary..."are we going to do the Time Machine again?" Sometimes, I wish that I could go back in time and have witnessed things that others did, at the time that Jesus Christ was on the earth. I know that is exactly what the scriptures are for, but I still think that would have been an amazing experience. I guess that is what made me create our Time Machine! Each Sunday I am realizing that these sweet little children are teaching me ...way more than I am teaching them! Good night dear friends!

I have several of this lesson and still created something new! This is super fun for the kids to do! This lesson is number 6 in the second quarter of our preschool class. We are learning about Moses. We can read all about him in the book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible. God sent Moses and his brother Aaron to Egypt to talk to Pharaoh. After God sent ten plagues, Pharaoh let the people leave Egypt. Last week we learned about God leading the people away from Egypt in a pillar of clouds during the day and a pillar of fire at night. When they came to the Red Sea, Moses lifted up his staff and all the waters parted! The Red Sea divided with water on each side, and the Israelites walked on dry ground! As the people traveled, they complained about food. They complained that they could have had food in Egypt, and why did Moses take them from Egypt, just to die of hunger in the wilderness? God said He was going to "rain bread from heaven for them." God would feed them, but He was going to test them also! God sent food for the people! God sent quail in the evening for the people to eat. They covered the ground! In the morning, there was dew all around the camp. (Explain dew) When the dew lifted, it was small, round like a coriander seed the people called manna. The people ground it up to make small cakes, then the people baked them. (Wikipedia) The manna was white and tasted like a wafer made with honey. For five days, the people were only allowed to pick up 1 Omer per person in their tent. On the sixth day, they were to pick up enough for two days. God would provide it every day, except for the seventh day, which was the Sabbath Day, a day of rest. If they saved any extra manna, it stank and had worms coming from it! The people gathered their portion, and when the sun became hot, what was left on the ground, melted away. God took care of His people, and this is what the people ate for 40 years while they were wandering in the wilderness. The lesson is found in Exodus 16. This is what we did for this review project. The plates of manna & quail (as shown above) were printed and cut out. The students glued one to the bottom of a 9” paper plate. Then, they glued the title ‘God Feeds Me’ that is included to the front side of their plate. Before class, I had cut out as many pictures of different foods from magazines and grocery ads as I could find. The students picked various foods and glued them to their plate. I put a message on my Facebook page, or you can ask for magazine donations another way that suits you. You can also purchase food stickers to use. There are several choices of stickers here. This can be used by itself. This can also be used to be glued to a paper plate without other foods. Click here to download. I set up this display using oyster soup crackers for the students to pick up the manna. But, instead of using my fake birds, I printed these standups for them to pick up and take home.

Aujourd'hui, je vous livre mon tutoriel pour réaliser des coquillages en papier façon éventail. Pour le matériel, il vous faut : du papier couleur une paire de ciseaux de la colle ou du ruban adhésif une règle Commencez par télécharger et imprimer, sur du papier couleur, les 2 gabarits suivants : coquillage_petit_modele coquillage_grand_modele Pour le plus petit coquillage, vous découperez le contour : Réalisez ensuite des lignes de pliage le long des traits gris et à l'aide d'une règle : Retournez ensuite votre coquillage au verso puis réalisez de nouveau des lignes de pliage au milieu de chaque strie : Découpez ensuite le rectangle arrondi et collez le au dos de votre coquillage. Votre coquillage est prêt ! Passez maintenant au grand coquillage. La partie centrale se décompose cette fois ci en 2 parties. Une fois le fichier imprimé, découpez les contours des formes. Pliez le long des traits : Retournez au verso puis pliez de nouveau au milieu de chaque strie à l'aide d'une règle : Pour pouvoir assembler vos 2 parties, j'ai réalisé une languette que vous plierez également et sur laquelle vous appliquerez de la colle ou du ruban adhésif : Comme pour le petit coquillage, découpez le rectangle arrondi et collez le au [...]
