I read only part of the reading, John 18:37. Then we got down to the craft - crowns! I have been looking forward to this craft since last summer. I went to the Jazz Festival in June at the Roundhouse (Vancouver).
Finding bordette was not easy - it only seems to be available at teacher supply stores. I went to Collins Educational Supply where I managed to find metallic gold bordette (25 metres long) that had a curvy, crown like top.
Our return into the church was met with many smiles when the children marched back in.There were two fathers helping with the children's litury that day (thank goodness), and they helped measure and cut the bordette to fit the childrens’ heads, as well as hand out feathers, pipe cleaners and stickers. The children really enjoyed this activity and gave little gasps of delight when I showed them how they didn’t need to use fussy glue or staples to decorate the tops of the crowns. |
The only thing I would change is I would separate the bordette ahead of time (it comes attached and looks like this and give handfuls of items on each table. I would also prepare a prototype ahead of time.
Cheers!
