We are all wonderfully made! David writes in Psalm 139, ‘I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made’.
There are lots of different crafts you can do that are all about people. Here’s a couple of ideas..
Use people shapes!
For this craft you need to make or buy people cut outs. (The ones in the picture are bought). Try to use the shapes that are different skin colours if you can. Paper shapes are best – there are some that are foam which aren’t suitable for young children so be careful when buying online. Provide shapes for clothes and crayons or felt tips for added detail. You could also add yarn for hair. Have variety for the children to choose from.
Make a collage of faces – I used photos from magazines (you may recognise some famous faces!). It’s useful to collect free magazines form places like Tesco if you can or ask for donations. It’s much cheaper than printing pictures out at home.
Some song ideas
- Head, shoulders, knees and toes
- From my head down to my toes God loves me
- Open shut them, open shut them, make your hands go clap
- I’ve got a body, a very busy body – have a look at the video – it’s a great tune and you could add your own lyrics.
