With seven nieces and nephews I am learning that creativity and crafts are a great way to teach children. Most Sunday School teachers have learned this and have kids color pictures of David throwing a stone at Goliath or Jesus ascending into Heaven while they teach their lesson for the day. Some brave teachers even get out the paint. Bless them.
Doing crafts with kids is also a great way to let them express themselves. They may have some very creative ideas that you hadn't thought of. Finding those ideas can be as simple as handing them a pen and paper! I have compiled a list of fun hand and foot print crafts you can do with your kids. I encourage you to be creative and maybe teach them about elephants while they are turning their hand prints into one. Make this a time to learn AND have fun! It is amazing how much you learn when you don't realize you are learning.
