Because the "Art & Snack" portion of GIFT is self-directed, some kids finish their projects quickly and have extra time on their hands. So to keep them busy, I have a table in the back with an assortment of optional activities to choose from. In keeping with our Faith Detectives theme this year, that table is called the "Evidence Lab." The Lab always contains books related to that month's topic, a simple craft item for kids who like to make stuff, activity sheets such as word finds or mazes, and some special activities. Here are photos of some of the activities from the Lab:
The photos on the sign are actually from our Sanctuary
Kids are invited to add prayer requests to the box.
We do not open it or read them out loud, we just pray over the box.
The papers are printed on one side with teeny-tiny Bible verses that kids use the magnifying glass to read. The other side has discussion questions for the kids & parents to talk about the verse.
These cross-shaped puzzles from OTC will premier in the Lab in January
