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 |
