Our lovely playgroup runs every Thursday at All Souls church, I’ve had the privilege of organising crafts for a little while now, these were some of the crafts from last term. The group is for children from newborn up to 5 years and their parents, grandparents and carers. We try and make the craft accessible for all ages that attend, so that everyone can join in!
The story of Jesus’ ascension…
These little cups covered in cotton wool (clouds) with Jesus dangling on a ribbon or pipe cleaners so he could be moved up and down amused the children and adults.
The Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost…
The children created their own flames from collaged tissue paper, glitter and sequins.
Peter heals the lame man…
The children were given a dancing man to colour in and play with. We created the dancing man by cutting a figure in two at the waist and using a split pin so his legs could jump and dance.
The lost sheep…
Really fun and simple sheep were made from doilies.
Fathers Day…
Bearing in mind some families may not celebrate this day for whatever reason, we went with a handprint craft and text that said ‘Thank you for helping me grow’
The parable of the mustard seed…
Using found leaves and twigs and cut out birds the children created their own gorgeous trees.
The greatest party…
The children decorated party hats and played with balloons.
