This is a perfect craft for teaching children about prayer. This was our craft activity last Sunday for our Sunday Schoolers. Their Bible story was about Daniel in the lion's den. Below are the materials you'll need and the steps to make this door hanger.
Materials:
- 12x3 card board / chip board or board paper (brown color preferably)
- round head fastener
- markers and crayons
- yellow, orange and brown colored papers
- glue
- wiggly eyes (optional)
- glitters (optional)
Procedure:
1. Draw a circle about 2-inch diameter in the top middle of your 12x3 card board, leaving a 1.5- to 2-inch space margin from the top. Cut the circle out and save it for the lion's face.
2. We have a phone pattern from "Hooked on Jesus" Reproducible pages. The phone pattern contains the memory verse we used for our Sunday School Lesson. We let the children color the phone patterns.
3. To create the lion's face, draw eyes, a nose, lips, and whiskers on the circle board that you saved earlier. Cut strips of yellow, orange, and brown paper about 1/2 inch thick and of varying lengths. Glue these paper strips all around the back of your lion's face. If you wish, you can paste on wiggly eyes.
4. On one side of your prepared cardboard, stick the phone pattern. We create the phone in a flip style so children can open it and pretend to call someone. Write "COME IN" on this side.
5. Create a hole in the lion's nose to securely attach the round head fastener. Next, punch a hole in your door hanger to secure the lion's face. The fastener can also hold the folded phone page, allowing children to open and close it. Refer to the photo below.
6. Write "DO NOT DISTURB" I am Praying on the side where the lion's face is.
7. Add more designs if you wish using glitters or any other craft materials you have in hand to add more design.
This craft can help the children be reminded to set a specific time to pray every day.
