Easter Craft Ideas!

I went to MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) today and it was craft day... focused on Easter and the true meaning. We learned how to tell the story of Jesus with our kids through crafts... and here are some examples... I just thought these were so great I had to share and I hope that you find them just as great and have some fun with your kids.

Jesus' life Bracelet

"Two thousand years ago, a STAR in Bethlehem guided THREE wise men carrying THREE presents for The KING of the earth, who had been born. He grew up, became a CARPENTER and a FISHER of men. He had TWELVE disciples to whom He preached the GOSPEL. Because of our SINS, He was CRUCIFIED, shedding His BLOOD for us. He ascended to HEAVEN, to the right side of The Father and sent The Holy Spirit to show us the way, and now He is waiting for you to give Him your HEART.

Ingredients needed:
Beads to represent the capital lettered words in the above script. Pay close attention to the number needed for each.
Thread for the bracelet band.
