PATRON SAINT WALLET

Children like to know how their name was chosen. If they were named after a Saint, they are especially interested in learning about the life of that Saint. When a person shares the same name as a saint, the saint is thought of as their patron saint.
There are some saints that we call on for specific needs. For instance, we ask St. Christopher to pray for our safety when traveling and St. Anthony when we look for a lost object. St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers and St Anthony the patron saint of lost items.
Just as we ask our family and friends to pray for us, we can also ask a saint to petition for us by praying to God on our behalf. Find the project for making My Patron Saint Wallet in the 3rd Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar.

ANIMALS ON NOAH’S ARK

One of the favorite Bible stories for kids is the story of Noah and the ark. They can easily imagine Noah building a huge ark and then gathering together pairs of animals to save them from the big flood that God has promised. So, of course, the kids enjoy Noah’s ark art projects.

You’ll find the tutorial for making Noah’s Ark in the Miscellaneous Gallery in the sidebar. Click on the photo for a close up view.

This funny bunny mix and match art project was so much fun to put together, so I know the kids will really enjoy it. It only takes one sheet of construction paper and a little imagination, plus colored pencils, to make a fun and funny tri-fold splitter. You’ll find this project, “Funny Bunnies Tri-fold Splitter,” in the Easter Projects Gallery in the sidebar.

TEACH ME TO PRAY CIRCLE

Spontaneous prayer isn’t easy for everyone, but it becomes easier with practice. This prayer circle is meant to help express love and appreciation to our Heavenly Father, for all the gifts we receive daily. It reminds us to express our love for Him and to thank Him for the family and friends that He has blessed us with. Pray by asking for God’s help, to make right choices in all that we do and to always do His will. Thanking God for good things that happen, as they happen, make for good prayer habits. A quick, spontaneous prayer asking for help dealing with school subjects or disagreements among friends strengthens our relationship with Jesus. Although this prayer circle is appropriate for any grade, you’ll find the directions for this, Teach Me To Pray, project in the 3rd Grade Projects Gallery in the sidebar.

MY HOLY WEEK MEDITATIONS BOOKLET

The Lenten season draws to an end with Holy Week, the final week before Easter. Making Holy Week memorable, as well as educational, is the thought behind this meditations book idea.
The cover and pages give the student an opportunity to personalize their booklet, while the Bible readings help them to think more deeply about the suffering and death of Jesus. The ruled, blank area of the pages is for jotting down the thoughts or prayers of the individual. The templates and tutorial for this project, “My Holy Week Meditations” is found in the Easter Projects Gallery in the sidebar.
