If you’re looking for a simple and sweet craft to do with your kids this Fall season, you’ll love this Prayer Request Squirrel craft.
This craft only requires a few supplies and the technique of tissue paper scrunching is a great sensory-type activity for your little ones and adds a fun 3D-type effect to your picture.
Whether you choose to do the tissue paper part of the craft or use it just as a coloring sheet, this is the perfect easy craft to do with a Bible lesson on prayer. Use it in a Sunday School classroom, VBS, Kids Ministry event, or for a homeschool lesson.
And if you’re looking for more prayer-themed crafts, snacks, activities, and a corresponding simple Bible lesson to do with your kids, be sure to check out this week’s Weekly Fun Plan: Gather in Prayer.
