Stocking Stuffer Idea For Christmas For The Children's Church Kids

 Stocking Stuffer Idea For Christmas For

The Children's Church Kids

I bought some Christmas stockings for the kids from Oriental Trading. It has a picture of Mary Joseph and baby Jesus. These stockings are made for the kids to color them with crayons or makers. We are having a Happy Birthday Jesus Party for the kids and we plan on giving them their stockings they colored filled with candy. I also ordered the BELIEVE Nativity door cover to hang up from Oriental Trading too.  I was going to hang this on the door but changed my mind and hung it up on the wall instead.

These stockings are a great idea for an activity for the kids to do for a Christmas Party or just for fun. We plan on doing a drawing for the kids to win a huge tub of mixed popcorn. (Caramel, Butter, Cheese). They come in those large tin buckets with a pretty Christmas scene on the front of it.

Gingerbread Party For Children's Church

We threw the children's church kids a gingerbread party yesterday. Last year we let the kids try to build their own gingerbread houses out of graham crackers, and it didn't work so well, because the frosting we used was not hard enough. (frosting from a can does not dry hard therefore does not work) duh! You think we would have understood that. So this year we tried it a little different. 

My husband constructed about 27 (very hideous looking) houses for them the night before. (I helped a little.) He never got his Gingerbread Carpenter License as you can tell from the photos. He's use to working with wood and nails, not graham crackers and frosting! 

We used a powdered sugar icing that dries into a very hard glue to stick the graham crackers together. We took them to church the next day and let the kids decorate them. This was a lot easier for them. Last year they just ran out of time trying to get it built and decorated. There was styrofoam bowls filled with different kinds of candies for each table. We had gummy bears, peppermints, sweet tarts, mints, gum drops, candy canes, and more. We also had cans of frosting for them to ice their church house. We put on some Christmas music to set the mood for them. We also brought the graham crackers and powdered sugar in case someone wanted to add to their Church house.

We served them hot chocolate with marshmallows and gave them a candy cane to stick down in their cup. That is if the candy cane survived the hot liquid and didn't melt into practically nothing. Mine didn't make it. So disappointing, you know. My husband wanted to try different flavored candy canes this year instead of peppermint, so we got sweet tart candy canes. Some of the kids liked them, and some did not. 

I bought a Foil Gingerbread Door Curtain from Oriental Trading to hang in front of the door in the children's church area.

 Here is some pictures of what the kids made. 

They covered their church houses in snow obviously. 

Next Sunday.... were doing a "Happy Birthday Jesus Party" for the kids. I'm looking forward to posting some pictures on that! 

Here is a picture of my gingerbread house I made at my house one year. I was just playing around having fun to see what I could come up with.  Too bad you can't see the peanut chimney in the back. It was really neat...I was proud of that haha. 

I actually have this picture along with the directions on how to make this same Gingerbread house on my other website at www.ChurchHouseChristmas.com. Go to the page to see the directions on what candy you need.

Give Hope To The Helpless

As many as 27 million women and children are in slavery today―working in forced labor or sexual servitude. The captors use brutal tactics to lure their victims and break them down.

Your support can help rescue and lead them to freedom in Christ.

The promise of a better-paying job led Alena to leave her home in Belarus for a brighter future in Greece. Never imagining she’d be enslaved by sex traffickers, she found herself locked in an apartment with five other enslaved women. She endured severe beatings, violent rapes and extreme emotional torment that extinguished her will to fight back. Men came in and used her as they pleased. She feared daily for her life, and God heard her cries.

Rescued from her former captors, she is now learning about her worth in Christ in the safety of a rescue home supported by Hand of Hope. Alena is only one of millions of women and children who’ve fallen prey to human traffickers today.

Happy Birthday Jesus Penguin Bulletin Board And Nativity Bulletin Board

 Here is my Happy Birthday Jesus Penguin Bulletin Board I did in the children's church room. You can buy the penguin bulletin board set from many different places. Such as MPM School Supplies or Trend Enterprises or Amazon. You can do a search for Playful Penguins Bulletin Board Set on the internet and see what you find and look for a good price.

I have a very large bulletin board and did two different themes. I did the Happy Birthday Jesus Penguin theme on one side and the Nativity on the other side. I covered the entire board in red bulletin board paper and trimmed it out in a light blue icicle trim. I separated the bulletin board in the middle using the icicle blue trim. I stacked the penguins on top of each other like they were standing on each others heads. They are standing on ice blocks. There was snowflakes included in the set. I got the Happy Birthday Jesus Banner from Oriental Trading.

 Here is the Nativity scene I did on the other side. You can purchase this from Children's Ministry Resource Co.  I just added some large snowflakes that I had on hand from another bulletin board set that I had.

Shiny Swirly Ornament Toilet Paper Roll Craft For Christmas

Shiny Swirly Ornament 

from a Toilet Paper Roll

Toilet paper roll

Scissors

Glue

Glitter

Hole punch

Ornament hanger or yarn

Christmas is a wonderful time to teach children how they can let their light shine by helping others.  A simple way to bring cheer to someone is by making this shiny, swirly ornament just for that person.

First cut along the seams of the toilet roll.  When it is opened you will see that the toilet paper roll was actually made form a parallelogram.  Now, trim off some of the pointed edges.  (See picture)  

Working on one section at a time, spread on glue evenly.  I used white school glue, but I think a glue stick would have been easier.  Hold the ornament over a paper plate or anything that will catch the glitter that falls.  Sprinkle the glitter generously.  Repeat until both sides are covered.  When the glue is dry, punch a hole in one end and inset an ornament hanger or a piece of yarn.  Roll the cardboard back up tightly and release to tighten the swirl.

Give the ornament to someone and watch their face light up!
