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!
