Thank You Gift for Volunteer: 4 Ideas They’ll Love
1. Class Collage
This heart-melting craft is easy to assemble—and kids love to help.
Time and Budget: Low impact
Supplies:
- copies of a variety of photos from different children’s ministry events
- 5×7 picture frames (1 per volunteer)
- 5×7 pieces of card stock (1 per volunteer)
- glue sticks
- scissors
- preprinted Bible verse trimmed small enough to fit within each frame
Choose the photos you’ll arrange in the collage. (For teachers, you may want to use images of the kids they teach.) Trim the photos, and glue them to card stock. Then glue the Bible verse across the bottom of the card stock. Leave space for the margins, which the frame will cover. Allow the glue to dry. Then place the collage into the frame.
