Jesus Loves the Little Children

If you are looking for something bible based to do with your toddlers -this is the place for you.  This week we learnt about Jesus and the Children.  For our craft we got a series of shapes from around the house: corks, bottle tops and bits from a broken shape sorter.  We then used these to dip in paint to make body shapes for all the different children.

Here are the results:

If you don’t have any paint that is great because that is another project!  Just make some.  Here is a simple recipe:

Alternatively, you could just draw around the shapes.
