Many of the folk who came asked us to share the ideas we had planned and put
on the website, so here they are:
Creator:
GOD the Father, the CREATOR
1. Creation Headband
Colour the picture of the land and sea and
glue it onto one end of a card headband. Then
colour the remainder of the headband black
(to represent the night time).
Choose examples of God’s creation, colour
them and cut them out.
Stick your choices to the headband in the
appropriate places (see sample).
Then ask an adult to place the headband
around your head to make it the right size to

fit and staple the two
ends together.
Think about all the beautiful things in our world.
2. God's Eye weaving
Take two small sticks and make a cross shape
 Choose your first ball of wool and tie the two sticks
together in the middle.
 Continue by weaving the
wool over and under
each stick as you turn the cross.
To change colour, join the new colour
by tying the end to an end of the
previous colour and continue weaving
over and under.
When complete, tie the final end and
create a loop at the end of the cross for hanging.


Think about how God keeps a loving eye on us.
3. Prayer Flower
Cut out the flower along the
thick black lines.
 Write a ‘thank you’ prayer for
the Creation on the centre of the
flower.
 Wax the whole of the upper side
of the flower, choosing a variety
of creation colours.
 Fold the petals over and crease along the
dotted lines.
 Place in the table top Font of water and
wait and watch.

Give thanks for all the things you enjoy.
Redeemer:
JESUS the Son, the REDEEMER
1. Decorated crosses
 Take a small wooden cross and decorate it
with your favourite colours and patterns.
Think about the meaning of the cross –
a symbol of love and forgiveness.
2. Love Heart memo


Take a heart-shaped memo sheet and
write about someone you love.
Stick your memo on to the large candle on
the board.
Remember that God loves each and
everyone of us.
3. Baptism cards


Collect a prepared card and the separate disc.
Cut out the disc and colour one side with all the colours of a
candle flame e.g. yellow, orange, red and blue centre.
 Draw a candle on the front of the card (below the cutout flame shape) and colour.


Take a paper fastener and fix the disc in the centre
of the back piece of card so that it turns easily.
As you turn the disc, watch as the candle
on the front appears to be alight.
Think about the following words:
Jesus said: “I am the Light of the World”.
Sustainer:
The HOLY SPIRIT, the SUSTAINER
1. Flaming Torch



Roll a piece of black card to make a tube and sellotape
edges.
Cut out long strips of flame-coloured crepe paper and stick
inside the top of the tube with sellotape.
Enjoy waving your torch!
Think about the power of light over darkness
2. Bead Wristband



Choose some plain wooden beads and 3 or 4
coloured beads and place in a plastic tray.
Having looked at the picture of the Pentecost
when the Holy Spirit came, colour your wooden
beads using similar colours.
Cut a piece of elastic to fit your wrist and tie
a large knot at one end. Thread the wooden
and coloured beads on to it and tie the ends of
the elastic together to make your Holy Spirit
bead wristband.
Think about the Holy Spirit, like a wind –
something you can’t see but you can feel and see its effects.
3. Card dove




Cut out the card dove and make the small
slit and hole (marked x) in its side.
Take the small rectangular piece of paper
and fold longways in concertina style.
Insert the paper through the slit and fan
out on either side for wings.
Attach a piece of thread through the hole
and hang it on our small tree.
Think about the dove as the symbol of
peace as you hang it on the tree.
EXTRAS:
Making Bookmarks




Select a PROMISE or TRINITY card bookmark.
Make a hole at the bottom of the bookmark with the
hole punch.
Colour the letters and write an acrostic poem or draw
pictures to illustrate the word.
Choose some ribbon and thread it through the hole at
the bottom of the bookmark.
Think about what Promises you have made or what the Trinity
(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) means to you.
Face Painting

Come and have your face painted with pictures
of our beautiful world and the journey of life.
We can use our faces to bring smiles to other
people's faces and make the world a better
place on our journey of life.
