Sunday School Craft - Christmas Shepherd

This one is VERY easy, and it includes candy!

You need: candy canes, crayons, cardstock, and an Exacto-Knife (or hole punch).

Okay, so I found my little shepherd on Google, deleted his prior shepherd staff, and added the verse (as is my wont). After you print these out, all you have to do is take an Exacto-Knife and cut a candy cane-sized slit above and below his hand. I used a hole punch (which you can see in the picture), but now I wish I'd just used an Exacto-Knife because the hole punch hole is smaller than the candy cane and you almost have to tear the paper to get the candy into the paper. If I'd just cut slits, this would all have been much easier.

Anyways, make however many shepherds you need and have them pre-cut so the kids can just color them and you can shove the canes in just before they go back to their parents!

Despite the obstacles. . .he's still cute!

Sunday School Craft: Noah's Ark Easy Finger Puppets

Yet ANOTHER Noah's ark craft!

You need: Cardstock, crayons, scissors, and hole punch (optional).

First, print out the templates at the end. I found them on Google, but I have doubled each animal (two-by-two, you know) and sized them so that they will fit little fingers perfectly. Just expand each template into a landscape mode.

After you print them out, you can cut them out like I have below (or you can cut them out more precisely, if you like. I was just in a hurry.)

Then, take scissors and cut out the holes. It's a lot easier to do this if you use a hole punch first.

Then combine the matches. You can either give each child in your Sunday school one or two pairs of animals, (or. . .if you are homeschooling, you can give them all to your kid!) If they are old enough, your kids can do all this cutting stuff, otherwise, just let them color. At the end of class, you could let the kids line up and walk their animals two-by-two into an "ark." Be creative!
