DLTK's Bible Crafts for Kids
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)
  • recipe choice 1
  • recipe choice 2
  • recipe choice 3
• 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.

Instructions:

• 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
