<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It's been a while since my last blog, after 6 years of
running Toddler Praise Mum's and Tot's group, I had to suddenly give up. This
was due to my hours at work changing but the Lord leads us on to do other things,
so I guess my time was over. My husband with the help of others still runs the
group but sadly without the bible crafts that I produced to go with the theme.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There is another reason I haven't blogged for a while, I
downloaded Microsoft 10, which wasn't compatible with Blogger. If you are
reading this then I guess those issues have now been sorted, otherwise I'm
writing this to no avail.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This weekend we <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had a joint service for all 8 churches in our
cluster of north Scarborough churches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The guest speakers were the wonderful couple and writers, Adrian and Bridget
Plass and singer/songwriter Rob Halligan (check him out he's really good). I
found myself on Sunday school duty and needing to prepare something for an
unknown number of children and an unknown age range.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As it was Advent Sunday I decided to focus on advent as
being a Journey to Christmas, a time of preparing our heads and hearts for the
birth of Jesus. A labyrinth seemed an obvious way of presenting a journey, with
different simple activities on the way and Jesus being at the centre. The
activities were kept simple as they are symbolic, although the suitcase craft
does take a bit of time, allowing it to be a good gathering craft, while
everyone is arriving.</span></div>

few weeks since I last posted a blog, due to there being no Toddler Praise
because of the school summer break. However I did promise to post something
during this time. We all need ideas of how to keep our children entertained,
especially when there is seven weeks to entertain them for. Here is a fun
and cheap activity that uses those plastic bottles we all end up with tons of and it
will keep the kids entertained for the afternoon. This is clearly not something a pre-schooler can make, my nine year old struggled cutting some of the bottles but it would make a fun water play area at a nursery or pre-school. It doesn't have to be made out of plastic bottles either, anything that will allow water to flow through it will work. I got this idea from Pinterest, search for water wall or kids water chutes and allsorts of ideas that maybe more appropriate will come up.</span></span></div>

now for 7 weeks off before we start again in September. It's always a sad day,
as we have to say goodbye to children who have given so much to our group, we
will miss them. At this time of year I always worry, will we get new toddlers
and babies next term/year. We are not a big group, afternoons are such a
difficult time for tots, as they often sleep then but it's the time we can
give. We just have to trust that God will provide in the new term.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Because it is the last week I wanted to do a great craft
to end on and nothing proves more popular than a food craft. We don't have any
means of cooking in our church hall, so I pre-baked the biscuits before the
day, for the children to decorate them. The recipe made over 40 biscuits,
meaning the children could decorate a few each. It's such an easy recipe to do.
This does require having a sheep biscuit cutter, I have two, if you don't have
one I do recommend getting one if you can because they are very useful, I've
baked so many sheep biscuits over the years. Other cutters useful to have when
you are doing bible related stories are a fish, an angels and a star, they also
appear a lot too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The parable of the lost sheep must be one of the most
well known of Jesus' parables. There is no shortage of children's story books
based on it. It is such a lovely story of hope, that no one who strays from God
is ever forgotten, God will seek them out and will rejoice when they return to
him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

collectors, this caused the Pharisees to mutter, they did not approve of Jesus
eating and drink with such unholy people. Jesus told them a parable. A shepherd
looked after 100 sheep but one went astray. Making sure the ninety nine sheep
were safe, he went out looking for his lost sheep; checking hills and dales,
rivers and rock faces, caves and forests, he went all over looking for his
sheep. When he found it, he flung it over his shoulders and returned home. He
called out to his neighbours, saying "Rejoice with me I have found my lost
sheep." Jesus told the Pharisee's that there is more rejoicing in heaven
over a sinner who returns to the father, than over those who do not go astray.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

appreciated by those who are keen on recycling and re-using useful things, that
many would just throw away. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm a hoarder, I
can't throw out things I know that could be used for something else at a later
stage. So, fellow hoarders and recyclers, you are going to like this craft.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is told to wash in the River Jordan. I wanted to make a washable Naaman but
this was a problem, waterproof materials that can be washed aren't cheap and
the other ideas I came across didn't really fit. How could I make a simple
toddler craft that was cheap to produce and allowed the children to wash Naaman
clean?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that site. I put waterproof material into the search box and discovered the
most amazing way of making strong, waterproof material, made using only plastic
carrier bags. And this material can be used to make all sorts of things like bags
and purses, it's easily cut with scissors and sewn with a sewing machine, but
is strong. It was perfect for the leprous skin of Naaman. However, though the
material is easy to make, this craft does require quite a bit of preparation
but it is fun to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Damascus in Syria, he was in the Army of King Aram, who were often at war with
Israel. Despite being a great warrior, Naaman had a problem, he had a horrid
skin disease that could not be cured. Naaman's wife had a servant girl who was from
Israel, the girl told the wife that there was a prophet in Israel called
Elisha, who could heal Naaman. Naaman asked King Aram if he could visit the
prophet, the King wrote a letter to the king of Israel asking him to heal
Naaman. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can heal him."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lovely rivers back in Syria that he prefered to wash in. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Naaman's servant said to him, what harm could
it do, to do as the prophet had said. If Elisha had told him to do a great
heroic act, Naaman would have done so, why not do something so simple. Humbled,

you haven't got a person template, then check out my blog for Pentecost, posted
May 10th 2015, it gives instructions on how best to make a person template. The
surface of the plastic material is rough and uneven but so was Naaman skin, so
it is perfect. Don't worry if you haven't got white plastic bags, as you can
see some of ours were orange, colour doesn't really matter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Sadly I could not attend Toddler Praise this week, due to
our 5 year old having chicken pox. These things happen and sometimes we are
still able to provide a simple craft and sometimes we can't. Due to the lovely
weather we are having in England at the moment, it was decided to have outdoor
play. This meant today's craft could go ahead without much supervision, it
doesn't matter if the soil goes everywhere. However I don't have any photo's of
our toddlers making them, fortunately our chicken poxed 5 year old was keen to
have ago one afternoon this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Making grass heads is such a lovely activity to do with
toddlers and older children, also perfect for our story of Samson; whose hair should never be cut. Toddlers love doing things that
are messy; they love the sensory experience of it and the creativity in
decorating their own cups. Then they watch in awe as the grass begins to peep
through the soil and bit by bit they can see it grow more and more each day.
Then there is the fun of cutting the grass, giving the grass heads hair styles.
There's lots of fun to had with this craft. Our eldest son made one a few weeks a friends birthday party.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Like so many characters in the bible, Samson was born to
a childless couple. God often shows his glory and power in this way. Samson was
the son of Manoah and an unnamed woman, although it is the woman that an angel
keeps appearing too. The angel tells the woman that she will bear a son and
that she is not to eat or drink of the vine or any other fermented drink and not
to eat anything unclean. Samson's hair should never be cut, for he is to be a
Nazirite, set apart for God's plan in order to deliver Israel from the hands of
the Philistines who rule over them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Samson becomes a very strong man, the power of the Lord
is upon him and he defeats the Philistines on many occasions. He becomes a
Judge or ruler over the Israelites, the Philistines fear him. The Philistines
dream up many plots to capture Samson but he either defeats or evades them,
until Samson, falls in love with the wrong woman, Delilah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Philistines pay Delilah to persuade Samson to tell
her the source of his great power. Many times she asks him what is the secret
of his strength and how can he be subdued but Samson does not tell her, giving
her false scenarios, such as tying him up in fresh thongs (bow strings) or new
ropes or weaving his hair into fabric. Each time Delilah did these things, then
told him the Philistines were coming and each time Samson broke out of his bounds.
After constant nagging by Delilah, Samson finally told her the truth, the
source of his power was that his hair had never been cut. Delilah informed the
Philistines and then cut and shaved his hair off. When he woke Samson's
strength had gone, he was captured by the Philistines, taken prisoner and made
to do hard labour. They also blinded him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Philistine rulers and powerful people all gathered to
celebrate and worship their false god. They put Samson on show in the centre of
the temple, between two pillars. Samson called upon the Lord to give him great
strength one final time, in order to bring down the temple. Samson was filled
with the Lords power, he pushed over the two pillars, bringing down the roof of
the temple, killing Samson and all the rulers and powerful people of
Philistine. The Israelites were finally free from their rule.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

which is a shame because they are so popular. The hall kitchen is not set up
for cooking in, as there is no oven. When I do prepare a food craft, it has to
be a non-cooking one. In fact this is only the second food craft this year
because of the limitations of our hall and the time we have to do it in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

use food like a craft material. What better material is there for building walls
than bread cut into cubes. The children have the fun of building up walls as
tall as they can, until they fall or get knocked over. Oh, how small children
love to knock bricks over. And what's more they get to eat it afterwards, what
could be better! Our kids spent more time eating than playing today, tidy up
time was so easy. But, I must give a sticky warning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

wandered around the desert for 40 years. Not because they were lost but because
they didn't trust the Lord, as a result, all those who had left Egypt were not
allowed to enter the promised land, all except Joshua. When Moses died, Joshua
led the people into the promised land of Canaan. The Lord told Joshua that
he was with him and he was giving them the land that he had promised to their
forefathers. They would be successful in this land as long as they keep God's
laws. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jericho. The people of Jericho had heard of the Israelites and that their God
had parted the Red Sea and defeated their foes. The people of Jericho were
scared. When the two men entered Jericho, they entered the house of a woman
named Rahab. People in the city heard of two Israelite men, so they went to the
house of Rahab. Rahab protected the men and hid them, she told the men of the
city that the Israelite men had already left Jericho. The men of the city went
searching for them along the road. Meanwhile Rahab helped the men escape,
provided they protect her and her family when Israel attacked. She lowered them
down the city walls from a window in her house. The men told her to tie a red
cord to the window, then they would know which house not to attack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">This week's
simple craft is such an easy one and we had so much fun making them at Toddler
Praise today. You do need to plan ahead in order to have enough bottles for
each child. I was able to put a request on our Facebook page and between us we
had more than enough bottles for all. The kids loved them so much that a few of
them made a second bottle to take home to their siblings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">This is a
great craft to do with toddlers and also with children with autism and sensory
disorders. Both toddlers and children with autism are very sensory, they like
things that stimulate their senses and often find them calming or exciting.
Children love these sensory bottles; shaking them and watching the glitter
swirl around the bottle, in fact some parents were mesmerised by them too. It's
possible, if you swirl them well enough and have the right shaped bottle, to
make a tornado or maelstrom. These bottles will entertain the children for
quite some time, repeatedly shaking them again and again. I work with children
with autism, a few weeks ago a colleague prepared these for the children to make
in class to illustrate tornados. I thought these would be a great craft to do with our toddlers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The sensory
bottles represent the pillar of fire with which the Lord safely guided the
Israelites to the Red Sea. Today's story is covering so much that it was hard
to choose which part to make a craft for. Ten plagues are hard to make into a
simple craft, so many elements to consider. Making a burning bush is always a
good craft to do but I wanted to do something different and I knew the kids
would get so much pleasure out of these bottles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Moses was
brought up in the Egyptian palace as the adopted son of the Princess, even
though he was a Jew. The Jews were persecuted and enslaved by the Egyptians.
When he was a young man, Moses witnessed an Egyptian beating a Jew, this
angered Moses so much that he killed the Egyptian. Pharaoh tried to kill Moses,
so he fled from Egypt to the land of Midian. Moses lived in Midian for many
years, looking after his father-in-laws sheep. Meanwhile the people of Israel
were crying out to God, for they were being badly treat by their Egyptian slave
masters. One day whilst looking after the sheep, Moses saw a bush on fire but
it did not burn, he went over to look, God spoke to Moses saying "I am the
God of your forefathers, I have heard my peoples cry and I want you to go to
Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt and slavery." Moses doubted
he could do it and that the people would believe him but God showed Moses a
taste of his power by turning a stick into a snake and then back into a stick.
God showed Moses many wonders he could perform before the Israelites and
Pharaoh to convince them that God was indeed with the Israelites and Moses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Moses went
before Pharaoh with his brother Aaron and they tried to persuade Pharaoh to let
God's people go but Pharaoh refused. Then God told Moses to tell Pharaoh that
he would turn the river Nile to blood, so all the fishes would die and no one
could drink the water. Aaron put his staff over the river Nile and it turned to
blood but Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go. Then God sent a plague of
Frogs but Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go. Then God sent a plague of
maggots and still Pharaoh would not let them go. Next came a plague of flies and
still he would not let then go. After that God killed the livestock: cows,
sheep, donkeys, horses, camels… but Pharaoh remained stubborn and would not let
the Jewish people go. God caused a plague of boils to affect people and animals
but still Pharaoh would not let them go. Next it hailed with hail like no one
had ever seen before with great thunder storms. The hail destroyed the crops
and plants. Pharaoh agreed to let God's people go but then he changed his mind.
Next came the plague of locust that destroyed anything that was left, that the hail
hadn't destroyed and again Pharaoh agreed to let the Israelites go but then he
changed his mind. Next the land was covered in darkness and the sun was
concealed but still Pharaoh would not release the people. Finally God killed
all the firstborns; people and animals in the whole of Egypt except the
Israelites. The Angel of death did not pass over the Israelite houses, whose
doors were painted with lambs blood. Finally Pharaoh let the Israelite people
go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The
Israelites set off for the land promised to them by God. God led them by the
desert road towards the Red Sea, he guided them with a pillar of clouds by day
and fire by night, always going before them. Pharaoh changed his mind and sent
his army after them. Moses raised his staff over the waters of the Red Sea and
they divided, creating a dry path through the waters. The people of Israel
passed safely across the Red Sea to the other side but when the army tried to
cross after them, the water returned and washed them away. The people of Israel
were finally free.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">At Toddler Praise we have changed our topic; having gone
through Jesus life, death and resurrection and then onto Pentecost and the
early disciples, we are now going back to the old testament, looking at Moses
for the next few weeks. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This week's simple craft requires beads, only a few but
beads are not a cheap craft material like most my crafts use. I only buy
expensive materials for special occasions, these beads were bought for making
Mothers Day gifts last year. Beads are great for threading and kids love them,
as well as developing their fine motor skills. At the time, we made key-rings
with heart charms but today we are making baby Moses with them. When I buy more
expensive materials, I tend to buy them from online shops. I plan ahead to see
what's coming up and what I might need to top up on, as well as buying for
Sunday school activities. Then I'm only paying postage once or not at all if they
have an offer for purchasing more than a certain amount. The site I favour is
<a href="http://www.yellowmoon.org.uk/">www.yellowmoon.org.uk</a> (also known as Baker Ross), I find their craft materials
to be good quality and good value. They also sell religious craft materials
too, which is really useful when you require foam nativity or Easter stickers
or need some small crosses. Of course if you are not from Britain, you will
need to find a different company. If you know of any other companies, feel free
to leave a link in the comments below for others to use and say which country
they are in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The book of Exodus in the old testament is the story of
Moses and how he led the Jewish people out of Egypt, to God's promised land of
Israel. Saving them from the tyranny of Pharaoh and slavery in Egypt. We are
looking at this story for next few weeks, starting today with Moses birth. The
Jewish people had grown in number since Joseph and his brothers had settled in
Egypt. This frightened the Pharaoh, he was scared that they would rise up
against him and fight for his enemies. He decided to make them slaves, he
oppressed them and forced them to build great structures and farm the land. The
Egyptian slave masters worked them hard and were ruthless. But the Jews grew
more in number, the king decided that all boys must be killed at birth but the
midwives would not do it. He then ordered that newborn boys should be thrown in
the river Nile. Moses was born at this time, his mother hid him for 3 months
but he was too noisy. So she made a basket out of papyrus and coated it in tar
to make it waterproof. She hid Moses in amongst the reeds on the river Nile.
Pharaoh's daughter was walking along the bank of the Nile, when she heard the
baby crying. She knew it was a Jewish baby but she took pity on it. Moses
sister was keeping a eye on him, she asked Pharaoh's daughter if his mother
could be his wet nurse. The princess agreed and when Moses was old enough he
went to live in the palace and was brought up as her son.</span></div>

simple toddler craft is one of my favourite to date. It is so simple and so
affective. This is not entirely my own creation, very few ideas are original
anyway but a product of creative processes that stem from something sparked
them. I found something similar to this craft, when looking through PInterest,
someone had made daffodil sun-catchers, which looked fantastic. I have been
waiting for the perfect story to do something similar and Saul blinded by a
bright light is just that. I also found the image of Paul on Pinterest too,
found on the page of </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #211922; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN;">bible.phillipmartin.info, he has lots of
wonderful biblical figures that can be used for free.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Pinterest, as
most of you will know, is the most wonder resource for craft ideas. I am a
relative new comer to it but there are so many fantastic ideas available to
view on the site, I often find myself lost within this creative space for a
very long time. If you have not yet discovered this wonder, I thoroughly
recommend that you do. When you come across a creative idea you like, it can be
pinned onto you own page where it will remain, ready to access when you have
need for it and other people can find and view them there too. It's like a
virtual scrapbook. I pin my blogs to my own page and you can too by clicking on
the Pinterest symbol at the bottom of each blog.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">In Acts we
learn about Saul/Paul the great evangelist. However Saul as he was known before
conversion was a militant Pharisee, feared by many Christian's for his ruthless
persecution of the early believers. In the chapters leading up to Chapter 9 we
read about how he witnessed the death of Stephen by stoning, looking after the
coats of those who stoned him. Saul imprisoned many believers, he was on his
way to Damascus under the authority of the High Priest, to arrest any
Christians he found. Suddenly a bright light surrounded him and a voice from
heaven said "Saul, why do you persecute me?" Jesus himself had spoken
to him. Despite all the Christians Saul has murdered and imprisoned, Jesus had
chosen the worst of sinners to be his great evangelist. He was told by Jesus to
go to the city of Damascus and await further instructions. Saul had been blinded
from the light, his men had to lead him to the city, for three days he didn't
eat or drink. In the city there was a man named Ananias, he had a vision from
the Lord to meet Saul in a particular house. Ananias was scared, he knew why
Saul had come to Damascus but the Lord told him not to be afraid, because Saul
was his chosen instrument to spread the good news of Jesus and God's love for
all. Immediately Saul began to preach in the synagogue's, day after day
teaching about Jesus but the Jews became angry and plotted to kill him. The believers
in Damascus had to help him escape the city, by lowering him from the walls in
a basket. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This week I have had to keep the craft really simple. I
thought I was going to be on tea duty at Toddler Praise, as the wonderful lady who usually makes
the tea, thought she was unable to be with us but at the last minute found she
could come. Therefore the craft had to be something I didn't need to supervise,
allowing the children to freely do with parents help. It had to be something self
explanatory. This craft to me, seems too simple to be blogged about. However
sometimes we find that we just can't do what we intend to do, we have to accept
the circumstances for what they are and adjust our plans accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">In today's story, Herod arrests Peter during Passover, he
intends to try him and has him put under heavy guard in prison, with soldiers
in the cell and bound with chains. During the night an angel appears, wakes
Peter, frees him from his chains and tells him to dress. The angel leads Peter
through the prison, past sleeping guards and out into the street. Up to this
point, Peter thinks he is dreaming but when the Angel leaves him he realises
what has happened and heads for the house of Mary, mother of John, where many
believers are praying. He knocks on the door, the servant girl answers but she
is so excited that Peter is free, she forgets to let him in and leaves him on
the doorstep while she informs the others. Who don't believe her until Peter is
finally let in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">In a previous blog I talked about finding images on the
internet. In this craft we need to do this again. I found when looking for
images of Peter and the Angel, I needed to be specific with the keywords I
typed into Google. Type in the wrong words and all sorts of unsuitable images
come up. When I first typed Peter and Angel, Google found lots of images of
Peter with wings at heaven's gate. After various attempts I chose 'images man
praying cartoon' and found the image I required. I also had problems with the
angel but finally got what I wanted by typing 'images guardian angel cartoon'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a prison cell out of a box, with Peter and the Angel inside and the lolly
sticks glued to the outside. Maybe add some guards on the inside and outside
and add some chains. I often take other people's ideas and change them for my
own purpose, so feel free to do this yourself.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This week's simple craft at Toddler Praise was similar to
last weeks. This time however, I am using up something I've been hoarding for a
while, left over oddments of material. I made my youngest son a patch work lion
a few months ago but I didn't throw out the off cuts. Most people would, but
now these strips of material are coming in useful for this craft, making the
clothes for the lame man in our story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The thing about being a crafter is you tend to hoard
things. I hate to throw anything useful (or even semi-useful) out. I have
cupboards of nonsense, actually no, I should say rooms of nonsense. We live in a
Victorian vicarage, big rooms and all full of stuff. The problem with big rooms
is you can hide things away and forget about them but this habit comes in
useful when crafting. Margarine and ice cream tubs are handy for storing or
transporting things in. Two posts ago - ascension - I did a craft using old
shoe boxes and wool, that I've had for many years. Today's craft involves a hole
punch; the left over circles of paper could be used for eyes, if there are no
googly eyes to be used. There are so many examples I could mention of recycling stuff but you'd get bored reading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This story in Acts comes very soon after the disciples
have received the Holy Spirit. Peter and John go to the temple to pray, they
pass through the beautiful gate. A lame man, who has been crippled since birth,
asks them for money. They tell him they have no money but instead heal him in
the name of Jesus. The man gets to his feet and finds himself walking and
jumping, he praises God for being healed. Those who knew the man were amazed at
his healing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This week's simple bible craft for toddlers follows on
from last week's theme; it's Pentecost. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he
told his disciples that they would receive the Holy Spirit, to enable them to
carry on his work; spreading the good news of God's love for all people. In the
bible, in the book of Acts, we hear how the disciples were gathered together
when the Holy Spirit came to them. The sound of a violent wind came from heaven
and filled the whole house. They saw tongues of fire, that separated and rested
on each head of those gathered. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and they
found themselves talking in many strange languages that they had never spoken
before but the people on the street outside understood.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The typical craft for Pentecost is making flame crowns
or drawing disciples with flames on their heads. I'm afraid I'm not going to
break with tradition on this occasion. My first idea for this week had been
completely different and I was almost prepared, when I found in Poundland a
packet of 15 card people. I could not resist them, they were a must purchase
and so this week's craft is card disciples with flames on their heads. However
I do realise that not every Poundland (other pound shops are available!) in the
country will be stocking these cut out people and there are readers of this
page from other countries where Poundland has not darkened their shores.
Therefore, on behalf of those readers, I am going to provide a step by step
guide to making your own card person template.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Praise the children heard about Jesus ascending to heaven. He took the
disciples to the top of a hill and told them to go and make disciples of all nations.
The clouds then descended and Jesus ascended to heaven. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's a little early in the church calendar but
in a toddler group that doesn't matter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When thinking about this craft I wanted
Jesus to ascend into the clouds in some way. I had to think around different
ideas of how we could create the scene. Having first thought how we could do
this on card, I then settled for a 3D working model or diorama.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">To do this model we needed an image of Jesus. Older
children would be able to draw their own but when doing crafts with toddlers,
most need the materials prepared. This is where the internet becomes an
essential tool for crafters. By typing the keywords "images of Jesus
cartoon" into a search engine an array of suitable images are found. The
chosen image can often be "copy" and "paste" into a word
document, altered to the adequate size and then repeatedly pasted for however
many that are required. Whenever I need a character for a craft; should it be
Jesus, Zaccheus up a tree, Jonah praying or a variety of animals for an Ark, I
search for them on the internet. They do of course need cutting out and this
can be time consuming, especially if you need them on card and like me, the
printer does not take card.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We also needed boxes, small shoe boxes are perfect for
this craft but I only had a small number. I had to put a message on our
Facebook page to ask parents and carers to bring in any spare boxes they had. We
had so many bring them, I now have enough for another craft. Of course if you
are more organised than me and know what you're doing weeks in advanced, rather
than 2 days before the session, you'll have plenty of time to ask parents and
carers to bring in supplies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Hi there! Welcome to my first blog. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Thanks to the suggestion of others I have started
blogging. It's somewhat scary, it's like letting people see through a window
into my creative mind, my own private ideas available for all to read. However
I feel ideas should be shared and if my crafts can be useful to others, then
please use them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As the blog title suggests, my toddler crafts are mostly
related to biblical stories. My husband (an Anglican minister) and I run
Toddler Praise, a toddler service and Mum's and Tot's playgroup, at one of his
churches; St Luke's Scarborough. Find us on Facebook at Toddler Praise, St
Luke's church Scarborough. This we have been doing for over 5 years. In that
time I have produce many craft activities for the children but only recently
making them in relation to the days story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I try to make the crafts as simple as possible. They need
to be suitable for 4 year olds to do independently, while 1 year olds can have
a go with adult help. I also make them simple as they need to be completed
within a short period. Our toddler group has a small budget, meaning our crafts
need to be as cheap as possible. Crafts materials can be very expensive but I
am a firm believer in recycling and using whatever is available. We do buy in
more expensive materials for special occasions when we are making gifts or
needing stickers for Christmas or Easter scenes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So this is a blog about cheap, simple crafts that are
suitable for ages 1 to 4 years and are largely related (but not exclusively) to
a biblical story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This first craft is very simple indeed but our toddlers
parents were very impressed with it. The story is one of Jesus' post
resurrection appearances to the disciples. This week we heard about Peter and
the disciples going fishing at night but not managing to catch a single fish.
As the sun begins to rise over the surrounding hills, they spot a figure on the
beach. This person tells them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat.
The disciples do so and immediately the net fills with fish. Realising it is
Jesus, Peter being his impatient, impetuous self,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>jumps out of the boat and swims ashore, the
boat of disciples following. They all have a breakfast of fish, then Jesus
takes Peter aside and gives him the chance to make amends for his denial on the
night Jesus was arrested, by asking Peter three times if he loves him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">For this story I wanted a craft that was as impressive to
the children, as the disciples would have found their nets suddenly filling
with fish. I looked at my various craft books for a magic trick that could be
adapted but found this craft in the Usborne<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>book of 'Science Things to Make and Do.' I thought that trying replicate
the fish filling the disciples net would be a fun activity for the toddlers to
do.</span></div>

the water tension on the surface of the water, propelling the fish forwards.
Any fish behind another fish will not move far due to the fish ahead having
broken the water tension. If a second run of fish is needed, then replace the
water otherwise it will not work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
