Advent Devotion for Preteens (cont.)
3. Spackled Wrapping Paper
First, have kids cut out construction paper symbols such as a scroll, star, manger, angel, or shepherd’s staff. Then have them arrange the symbols on large pieces of butcher paper. Using two spray bottles—each filled with half water and half tempera paint—have kids spray the paper. Let it dry.
Then have kids remove the shapes and draw around the outlines with a metallic pen or sparkle paint to help the images stand out. Give each child a piece of the wrapping paper to take home.
4. Snack
Have children each bring several apples or oranges. Have sliced fruit and punch on hand.
Gather all your classes together and have children bring their unsliced fruit. Lay a sheet on the floor and use yarn to make a tree outline on the sheet. Have children work together to create a Christmas fruit tree within the outline.
Close by serving fruit and punch!
