Heart Stack

 

Gather different colored construction paper or foam sheets, a marker, and scissors.   

Draw a different-sized heart on each color paper.  

Cut out the hearts.   

Stack the hearts from largest to smallest. 

Jesus loves you, no matter what! There is nothing you could do to make Him stop loving you.

Soldier Snack

 

Gather a plate, pretzel sticks, Pocky sticks, Strawberry Sour Patch Kids, Ritz crackers, and Pringles. (Note: Feel free to find alternate options in your pantry!)  

Place a Ritz cracker on the plate for the soldier’s head.

Next, break off the sides of the cracker for the soldier’s body.  

Lay a Pringle beside the soldier for the shield. 

Create an arm and legs with the pretzel sticks.

Next, make the sword from Pocky sticks.

Finally, create the helmet and shoes from the candy. (I tore off the green color to make smaller pieces.)

Jesus loved the Centurion, and Jesus loves you! And, just like Jesus helped the Centurion soldier, He can help you too. 

Time with a Friend

Gather a plush friend and books about love.  

Have your child “read” to their plush friend to spend time with them.  

It’s great to spend time with friends! It’s great to spend time with Jesus too! Jesus wants to be our friend forever!

Name Poster

 

Gather butcher paper, crayons or markers, heart stamps, and an inkpad.   

Write your child’s name in large block letters on the paper.  

Let them color in their name with the crayons or markers. 

Add heart stamps around the name. Talk about how Jesus loves [Child’s name]!

Jesus loves you, and Jesus loves me!
