Colors of Faith Easter Egg

I love this colorful Easter Egg, it uses the different colors to tell us about Easter.

We used: Yellow, Red, White, Green, Blue and Purple construction paper, glue or glue stick, scissors and a marker.
Cut all the colored paper except white into 2 in strips and glue on the strips to the white paper.

Draw an egg shape on the back and cut out.
Write what each color represents on the colored strips.

Yellow represents God's perfect light

Red represents the blood Jesus shed for us.

White represents the cleansing of our sins.

Green represents the new life we have Jesus.

Blue represents the baptism that identifies us with Jesus.

Purple represents the crown of life.



You could also use these colors to make a "Colors of Faith" Easter bracelet with beads.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
