What the kids will do:
Give each of the children one of the paper bags. The children will use the markers and crayons to decorate around the stage opening.

What you will say:
As the kids work on their projects tell them that they can use the finger puppet stages to reenact today's Bible story they can put on puppet shows for their moms and dads or brothers and sisters. If time permits you can have the children create finger puppets by cutting the fingers off old gloves, make sock puppets or you can create colorful and useful stick puppets Click here.
