Our Orthodox Kids Crafts


This will be the crafts that we are going to do this Sunday. The children (3-4 years old) will help us paint the background for the words by using stamping or imprinting techniques. I think they will enjoy painting activity. We selected Psalms 107:1 "Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good! For His mercy endures forever."

Materials:

pressed, dried leaves from different trees.
yarn
yarn needle
small paper clips
scissors
different color water base acrylic (non-toxic) paint
foam brush with flat round end, 1/2 to 1" diameter
paint dish (I use bottom end of plastic water bottle, with the top cut away)
papers where each word of Psalms 107:1 is written.
Water to dilute the paint
loose T shirts (to wear over kids clothes so they will not soil their clothes)
Table cover to keep the classroom table free of paints.
push pins (to hang the crafts on the wall)

I pre-strung the leaves using a yarn needle. This string of leaves will then be hang on the classroom wall using push pins. The words will be hang on this string by means of paper clip and
yarn. See the photos. The brown leaves should show better against the classroom's sage colored wall.
