Self-Portrait

Gather a piece of paper and crayons. 

Have your child draw a self-portrait. 

Have your child say things that are true about themselves. (I have blue eyes. I am nice. I am 4 years old. etc.) Write what they say around their self-portrait.

Paul told people that they could believe in Jesus because He always tells the truth. And, that’s true! Jesus always tells the truth, and you can believe in Him too!

Build a City

Any type of blocks (we used Magnatiles) and Little People figures.

Have your child build a city with the blocks.

Walk the Little People figures around the city to “teach about Jesus.” 

Paul visited a city to tell people that God loves them and that they could believe in Jesus. You can believe in Jesus too!

Heart Scoop

Gather a bin of water, foam hearts, and a large spoon. 

Put the foam hearts in the bin of water.

Have your child scoop them out with a large spoon. 

Continue until all of the hearts are out of the water! 

Hearts are a symbol of love! Jesus loves us no matter what! 

Cards for Friends

Gather construction paper, a crayon or marker, a paper plate with washable paint, clothespins, scissors, and foam stickers.

Fold the construction paper in half and draw half of a heart along the folded edge of the paper.

Cut out the heart and write “Jesus loves you!” on the card.

Peel the backing off of a sticker and attach the sticky side to the end of a clothespin.

Using the clothespin with the heart, make stamps all over the card! Once you have made your cards, pass them out to friends/family to tell them Jesus loves them!  

Peter believed in Jesus and told people about Him. We can tell others about Jesus too! Jesus wants to be everyone’s friend!

Color Changing Flowers

Gather clear cups with water, food coloring, scissors, and a white flower such as carnations or daisies.

Place 15 drops of food coloring in each cup. (One color per cup.)

Cut the stems of the flowers and place one in each cup.

Watch the flowers change color over time! (Check every couple of hours!)    

When Paul believed in Jesus, he stopped being mean and started loving people! He changed from sad to happy. We can believe in Jesus and love people too!

Easter Snack

Gather a plate, graham crackers, white icing, green food coloring, a knife, a donut, and an Oreo.

Put some green food coloring into the icing and stir until it’s a nice shade of green.

Spread green icing onto two graham crackers and place them on the plate to make a square.

Place the donut near the back of the graham cracker square. This is your “tomb.”

Place the Oreo in front of the donut. This is your “stone.” You can re-enact the stone moving in front of and away from the tomb.       

Jesus’ friends buried Him in a tomb, but the stone rolled away. Jesus came back just like He said He would! Yay Jesus! 

Pipe Cleaner Heart Painting

Gather construction paper, a paper plate with washable paint, and pipe cleaners.

Bend the pipe cleaners into the shape of a heart. Make sure there are no sharp edges.

Dip the pipe cleaner into the paint and then press it onto the paper. 

Cover your page with heart prints!      

Hearts remind me of love. Jesus loves everyone and does amazing things only He can do!
