Today for the Sunday School craft we made "Today, I'm thankful for:" boards. These would make a great Thanksgiving project, too, or mid May. :) First we had the kids talk about what they were thankful for, and then we discussed when we are thankful, WHO are we thankful to? We read three different Bible verses about thanksgiving, and then got busy on the craft. The idea is that the kids can change the answer in the middle, and then the dry erase marker will erase right off for a new answer the next day.
The original idea was from Simple Home Managing.
Supplies:
- Frames (from the dollar store)
- White card stock, cut into 5x7's.
- Post-its
- Dry erase markers
- Printed on card stock and cut out:
Bible verses in various colors.
(We used Colossians 3:17, 1 Chronicles 16:34, 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Quick directions:
- Place the post it in the center of each, to create the future white rectangle.
- Color away!
- Pull off the post it.
- Glue on "Today, I'm thankful for:" and the Bible verses. (We put a few on the front, and the extra on the back.)
- Reassemble the frame.
- Write the "thankful" item on the front.
These turned out so cute! I'm so glad to hear you were inspired by my post! I love the addition of the verse on the back and their personal artwork!
