April Activities

We started our lesson with the story of Jesus traveling to Jerusalem, discussing how they traveled back then and the importance of riding a colt and how the people greeted Him.  Our craft was to color this donkey, cut it out and put it together.  I used brads on one so that he "walks" and just glued the other.

 

Memory Verse: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." Acts 16:31

Then we took a piece of green construction paper, folded it hot dog style, and made 1/2" rectangle shaped cuts where the edges met. Unfold to reveal a palm branch!

For the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday we focused on the Bible stories leading up to that day and did some coloring sheets as well as a hand-print lamb craft.  On the back was to be the memory verse for that week, but it didn't quite make it.

 

Memory Verse: "This is how we know what love is, Jesus Christ laid down his life for us." 

1 John 3:16

This was just a sheet of black foam cut out in the shape of my hand. Then a piece of white cardstock cut out like a cloud, glued to black foam.  The boys glues cotton balls on for the wool, some googly eyes, more black foam for ears and some pink of a nose.

All About Shapes!!!

Although Sugar already knows his shapes, Spice is just learning and this was a great activity for both of them.  It had lots of cutting, pasting, coloring, and imagination involved.  The favorite page for both was the robot page.  Here's a few shots of Sugar's Shape Book:
