God takes care of Elijah

One of the blessings in teaching young children

Bible stories is the way God uses the 

teaching to touch  my life and to remind

me of his promises and his constant presence.

Today the children learned that God was not only with

 Elijah, but also that Elijah trusted God and did what God 

told him to do. Before the kids came to the art table 

I went online printed and cut out a picture of Elijah.

Saran wrap became the river, the sandpaper became dry land.

Our ravens were black feathers. All the supplies were placed on the 

table so the kids could decide how they wanted  their  

picture to look. Art should have few rules, one of them being no two 

pictures have to look alike! The kiddos had fun with all the

 different textures of supplies they used to create their 

picture. Our collection of stories turned out to be 

a wonderful masterpiece!
