We’ve got some adorable new printables for your Valentine’s Day Lesson!
Valentine’s Day Lollipop Sleeves
Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, so you’ll have all your little pupils in class with you to celebrate God’s love! If you haven’t already visited our Valentine’s Day Lesson Planner page, be sure and check that out. There are lots of helpful links and resources for planning out your Valentine’s Day Lesson.
Okay, I know Valentine’s Day isn’t for another month or so, but were learning all about Owls at our house, and we made these adorable little Valentines Day owls to go with our theme.
Children cut out the different shapes (all of which are hearts) and glue them together to make their own little owls they can give to someone special.
These would make great Sunday School crafts if you write, “I know someone Whoooooo loves you!” and on the back you can write “Jesus”
If you’re making these with young children, you can cut out the shapes beforehand so that they are only responsible for coloring and gluing.
Or print the templates on heavy cardstock and cut out the inside of the shapes, so children can use them a
I’ve got the Templates and the Photo instructions up on the main site!
This is a tutorial for making a Prayer Box that you can use in your Sunday School classroom. These are great for getting children used to the idea of praying for others, and it’s a great way for all children to participate in the morning prayer.
Keep the box by the front of your classroom, somewhere where the children can see it first thing when they walk in. Each child has their own prayer stick with either their name or their photo on it.
If the child has something they would like to pray about during circle time, then they grab their stick and put it into the box.
Then when you start your morning routine, have all the children sit around you and bring over the prayer box. Pull our a stick and read the name and ask the child what he or she would like to pray about today. Do this for each child who puts in a stick, and pray as a group together for everyones needs.
Remind children that prayers don’t always have to be asking for things. We can praise God with our Prayers too, and encourage them to put in a stick with any praises they want to share as well. (i.e. God really helped me when…..ect)
If you have any additional suggestions for the use of a prayer box, I’d love to hear about it! Just leave me a comment below so everyone can see your ideas!
This is an adorable little angel your children can make in celebration of Christ’s Birth!
The wings are made by tracing your child’s hands, so they make fantastic keepsake ornaments too!
There is also the verse from Luke 2:11, which is a great verse for children to memorize for Christmas.

Can you believe that we got our Christmas Story Ornaments up in time for Christmas?
There are even just enough days left till Christmas (5) to do one ornament each day!
We’re working on some adorable Christmas Story Ornaments that you can use to retell the Christmas story to your children or your Sunday School Classroom. Our plan is to have one ornament for each main part of the story:
Mary’s Good News
The Journey to Bethlehem
No Room at the Inn
Baby Jesus is Born
The Shepherds Visit
The Maji Follow a Star
So far we’ve got the Christmas Donkey for the Journey to Bethlehem story. The Christmas Story is attached to his back like a burlap sack:
Each Christmas ornament will include the corresponding text of the bible to continue the story. I’ve got the Printable Bible Stories you need to make these listed here. And as I get the ornaments created and up and available, I’ll post them there as well and update our blog too! I hope to have them done in time for Christmas, but just in case I don’t get them in time, I wanted to at least share the idea with the printable Christmas stories, so you can make your own 
IF you make these it would be fun to see your creations, you can add them to our Member Photo Album here!
I’ve got the final lesson up for the second week, Honoring God with My Body, and this lesson focuses on PRAYER!
Children will hear The Lords Prayer and learn what we can pray about (Hint: Anything!) and that we are to pray in Jesus name to bring glory to God! This is a very easy and laid back lesson, great for expanding to a larger theme as well. Here is a sneak peak at the Crafts and Activities for this lesson.
