Last Supper Keychain
This simple keychain craft reinforces the memory verse from John
6:35.
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
It is a good craft to do at Easter time or when teaching a child about
communion. |
 |
Materials:
 | self drying clay (you can purchase it or make your own)
|
| keychain loop (purchase from craft store or take off an old keychain)
|
| white fun foam (actually, any color would work)
|
| marker
|
| scissors
|
| hole punch
|
| straw
|
| piece of wool or string |
Before Craft Discussion:
| If doing this with a large group of children (ex: Sunday
school), consider bringing in two or three different types of loaves of
bread (french bread, crusty bread, pumpernickel, etc) plus some regular
sliced bread.
|
| You can show the children the different kinds of bread and discuss whether
any of them have helped make bread at home.
|
| Talk about how bread is made (mixing ingredients to make dough, kneading,
shaping and baking)
|
| You can even let the children taste the different types of bread to see
which is their favorite
|
| If doing this with your own children you can do the same as the
above or point out different loaves of bread during a shopping trip. |
Directions:
| have the children shape their dough into a slice or loaf of bread.
After viewing the different loaves of real bread the children should be
inspired.
|
| Use a straw to poke a hole through the completed shapes
|
| Cut out a rectangle of white craft foam and punch a hole in the corner of
it
|
| Print the words: Jesus is the bread of
life. on the piece of craft foam.
|
| Let the clay dry according to the package (or recipe) directions.
|
| Put a piece of ribbon or string through the keychain loop, the craft foam
tag and the clay loaf |
