ABCJLM Activities and Crafts:

I am Looking at Jesus Craft - "I am Looking at Jesus" Craft - Use this craft to remind your child to keep their eyes on Jesus.
- Binoculars - Paint two toilet paper rolls. Staple together and add a string. Discuss with the child the importance to keep his/her eyes on Jesus.
- Make pipecleaner glasses - Twist one pipecleaner into the shape of an "8". Attach one pipecleaner on each side to make ear pieces on the glasses. Twist the ear pieces together in the back to hold them on the child's head. This is a silly craft but my kiddos loved this one and it really helped them remember the objective of the Bible Story.
