DLTK's Bible Activities for Kids
Fruit of the Spirit Stress Apple Craft/Activity

Thanks to Michelle for sharing her idea with us!

Materials:

• red balloons (not blown up)
• sand or uncooked rice
• small funnel

Instructions:

I am wrapping up the Fruit of the Spirit with my PreK class, and I wanted to share this idea for self-control, I brought in red balloons, and play sand. We filled up the balloons with sand to make "stress" apple. And I explained to the kids, that when they feel mad, angry or naughty they can grab their stress apple and squeeze them instead of hitting, yelling, or taking toys. And while they are squeezing their stress apple they can pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help them have Self Control.
