Helping hands

Today we did stain glass art. It's a fun activity and the kids loved

seeing their hands hanging on the arcadia door! Our lesson 

focus was being a good helper. Its never to early to 

 start planting seeds of compassion in the hearts of kids.

After reading the Good Samaritan we got busy with our art

activity. You will need to cut up  tissue paper into short strips. 

The contact paper is easier for the kids to use if you cut a 

rectangle shape (large enough  for the child's hand to fit on for 

tracing), and peel half the backing off. Then let the 

fun begin! The kiddos loved the sticky paper and 

enjoyed picking colors to stick on it. Once they have

covered the paper unpeel the other side and carefully 

fold it over on top of the tissue paper. As I traced each little

hand I asked how they can be a helper. They had so many cute

 reply's! Aiden said he is going to stay here

 with grandma and be my helper forever! 

Supplies needed

tissue paper in assorted colors
