Sunday School Crafts:Handprint
This lesson is based on Psalm 47:1 All you nations, clap your hands and shout joyful praises to God.
You will need:
- bag of clay
- roll of greasproof paper
- marker pen
- A4 card
- hole punch
- string
- scissors
Each child will need:
- lump of clay the size of your fist
- modelling tool
- sheet of greaseproof paper
Your preparation:
Cut labels from the card and write the verse on them with the marker pen. Punch a hole in one end and cut the string into 8cm lengths. You will need to work each lump of clay to make it pliable for each child. Cut the greasproof paper into squares for the clay to sit on.
What to do:
The clay should be worked into a fairly round disc about 3cm thick, and large enough for the child to spread their hand on top. They should press down very hard, until a handprint is made in the clay. Next, with the modelling tool, an adult should help them write their initials or name and date. Let them decorate teh edge of the print with the tool.
