Jesus Walks On Water
The world around us can get hectic and crazy and we can be pushed around by waves of different problems. But we shouldn’t worry about the problems around us or our difficult situations. Instead we should keep our eyes set on Jesus and know that we can completely trust in Him. We need to step out of the boat in faith and keep our eyes on Jesus knowing that He promises to help us through the most turbulent of storms.
“30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!” Matthew 14:30-33
Instructions
- Print the template on card stock. (Template)
- Color and cut out both pieces, including the solid line on the boat piece.
- Glue the figure onto a popsicle stick.
- Stick the popsicle stick through the slit you made on the boat piece.

2013 In Review
As the year has come to an end I have been astonished by what God has been doing with my little blog.
I have been truly blessed to get to know some of the other children’s ministry leaders in this online world, whether it be on Facebook, by email or through their websites and have received great advice from all of you. There are too many of you to thank to list you individually.
Secondly, I would like to thank my readers for this great year. Your words of encouragement and appreciation have helped me keep this little blog chugging along.
I started this blog with the intention and hope of it serving as a tool to help and inspire you and your children’s ministries. I just hope that this blog is living up to that expectation.
As the year has come to a close, I thought it would be fun to share the crafts visited most often this year.
The Perfect Homemade Playdough
Are you looking for the perfect homemade playdough recipe. Look no more.
This playdough recipe is simple and the results are fantastic; silky and smooth playdough.
If you are looking for a recipe that does not include cream of tartar, good luck. I have spent years looking for that elusive unicorn with no luck. If you find a recipe that does not include cream of tartar the results are not as ideal. The dough is either too crumbly, sticky or lumpy.
Keep your eyes out for when cream of tartar goes on sale in your local supermarket or buy it in bulk on Amazon. The extra cost is really worth it.
This recipe will make enough playdough for four medium sized balls or you can make large batches of a single color.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup salt
- 4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Food Coloring
- Add the flour, salt, and cream of tartar into a large saucepan.
- Add in the oil and water. Make sure that there are no lumps.
- If you will be doing one large batch add in your food coloring until you get the desired color intensity. If you will be doing a variety of colors leave the food coloring out.
- Place the large saucepan on medium heat and continually stir. You know it is done when it forms into a ball and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan.
- If you did not make a large batch, divide the dough into four equal pieces.
- Add a different color of food coloring to each piece.
- Kneed the dough to incorporate the food coloring.
The Writing On The Wall
“4 They drank the wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone. 5 Suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing. 6 Then the king’s face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together.” Daniel 5:4-6
King Belshazzar’s actions were sinful before the eyes of God. He allowed himself to be guided by his pride, but even the most powerful and richest king is nothing compared to God. King Belshazzar learned that God has power over all things, and that whatever power King Belshazzar had, it wasn’t his own doing. God gave it to him.
“It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.” Daniel 2:21
God’s message to Belshazzar came true that night. God punished the king for his sin and his kingdom was taken from him that very night.
Instructions
- Print the template. (Template)
- Color everything on the page, except the walls, with markers.
- Color in the walls with color pencils.
- Finally, with glow in the dark paint and a small brush, write the message God delivered to King Belshazzar: “MENĒ, MENĒ, TEKĒL, UPHARSIN“
Lying Lips Are An Abomination To The Lord
God hates it when we lie! When we lie we are going against His very nature John 14:6. God hates lying so much that He included it as one of the Ten Commandments.
We can clearly see how serious God is about lies and this is what we want our kids to learn as well. They need to understand that God hates it when we lie. That lying is a serious sin.
“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal faithfully are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22
It ruins friendships and characters. It hurts others and it can even influence others to sin as well.
Take this opportunity to correct the worlds false view of lying. The world believes in half-truths and “white” lies, but Gods Word shows us that a lie is a lie. They need to comprehend that when we lie we hurt others.
Tell your kids that it takes love to tell someone the truth, even when they know they will be hurt by their response; making an emphasis on the fact that the truth needs to be said lovingly. Teaching them that we need to practice sincere honesty with our family, friends, and in the church.
Instructions
- Print the template onto card stock. (Template)
- Color and cut out all of the pieces.
- Take the tongue piece and fold on the solid line, creating a crease.
- Glue the tongue to the lips.
- If your have boys they can glue on the mustache.
- Glue a large popsicle stick to the back of the lips. It will serve as a handle.
This craft might look silly, but it will help your kids remember this important biblical truth.
