TP Bald Eagles

TP Bald Eagles                                                                4th of July

Materials:

• Toilet paper rolls
• Printer/paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Something to color with

What I Did:

First I made sure I had enough TP paper rolls and I printed off enough templates for the students. The website I printed them off from is http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/mbaldeagle.htm. I colored every unattached piece first and then taped the body to the roll. Then I glued every other piece on that was already colored. The dotted lines are to be folded under. Here is a picture example:

The tail on the back is glued to the body so as not to flap on and off. The feet are folded under the roll on the dotted line and glued inside of the roll.

Father's Day Bottles of Love

Father's Day: Bottles of Love                                    Father's Day

Materials: 

• Plenty of Reese's Pieces
• A container that has a lid on it (i.e., bottle)
• Tags
• Paper (copy paper or scrapbook paper, your choice)
• Tape and/or glue
• Crayons/markers/colored pencils

What I Did:

I went to Hobby Lobby and bought small sand bottles (99 cents a piece!) and a few pieces of scrapbook paper for the paper that goes around the bottle and cheap tags you can write on to put around the opening of the top of the bottle. I got 4 bags of Reese's Pieces at Walmart.

I had the students write "Happy Father's Day!" on cut out pieces of scrapbook paper and tape that around the bottle, then fill the bottle up with Reese's Pieces. Then I had them write on the tags "I love you to pieces" and tie that around the opening, screwing the lid on afterwards.

After that, I had them write personalized cards to go with their gifts to their fathers. 

And then we all enjoyed some leftover Reese's Pieces! :) 

Jonah in the Big Fish

Jonah in the Big Fish                                                             Anytime

Materials:

• Paper
• Colored pencils/markers/crayons
• Elmer's glue
• Googly eyes (optional; can just draw and glue eyes if preferable)
• See-through cups/balloons

What I Did:

I personally drew Jonah and the fin on pieces of paper for the students to cut out so that it would be cost-effective and easier. They can color the paper if they would like or you could buy colored paper to paste. I used Elmer's glue on the googly eyes on the side of the cup and then used Elmer's glue on Jonah on the inside of the cup and on the fin on the bottom of the cup. Then laid them out to dry. 

*Side note: I used cups instead of balloons because I was worried about hearing them pop in the middle of the service after Sunday School. ;)
