God is Love

Here is another cute, simple craft we did this week in Bible School. It would work for many lesson themes.

I already had a sack of 1" "mosaic" squares cut from Fun Foam, so I laid them on paper in a cross shape and made a "frame" pattern around them. Then I used the pattern to pre-cut Fun Foam crosses in various colors. If you have older kids, they could do the cutting themselves.

Let the kids choose the colored squares they want, glue the squares down, and add letters. (Aleen's Tacky Glue works great for fun foam.) We used peel and stick letters, although regular stickers or even markers would work too. We put a peel and stick magnet on the back so they could use them on their fridges. The class did a great job on theirs, don't you think?

Note: I have one of the old "guillotine" (slices with a descending blade) paper cutters, and have found that you can use it to cut Fun Foam. Makes the squares quickly and easily.
