DLTK's Bible Crafts for Kids Promise Suitcase Paper Craft This paper craft would work for any "keeping promises" lesson plan.  When I designed it, I had the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel Chapter 1 and 3 in mind -- combining the idea of Hannah's promise with the clothes she brought her son each year.

Materials:

• printer
• paper
• scissors
• glue
• something to color with (B&W version)

Directions:

• Print out the template of choice.
    
• Color the pieces (as appropriate) and cut them out -- make sure you don't cut the two halves of the suitcase apart!.
    
• Fold the suitcase in half down the middle to make a type of folder
    
• Glue the labels onto the front of the suitcase to decorate
    
• Print or draw a word or picture representing a promise (or promises) you've made
    
• Use the suitcase to keep track of your promises by opening it up each night and putting a checkmark beside promises you've kept.

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
    
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
