Activities:

• Home Connection
  • NEED: Paper towel tubes; painter’s tape; pom-poms; shallow, plastic containers; paper ice cream or party cups; and plush friends.
  • DO: 
    • Before the Activity: Tape paper towel tubes to the wall in a straight line, with enough room below to sit a cup. Put pom-poms in several containers nearby. Place plush friends at a table across the room.
    • During the Activity: Encourage the child to find a plush friend and take their order. Ask the child to go the wall with the tubes, place a cup underneath a tube, and drop the desired pom-poms through the tube to create the treat. Deliver the treat to the plush friend and repeat.
    • After the Activity: Introduce [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone.
  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Friend! Come join me over here! I have a fun activity for us to do today! We have lots of plush friends that we get to fix special treats for today.”
    • During the Activity: “Let’s pretend these tubes are fun drink machines and ice cream machines! Pick a cup and put it under the tube like this. (Demonstrate.) Then take some pom-poms and drop them from the top of the tube so it fills your cup. Okay, let’s play! Go find a plush friend and take their order! (Pause.) What kind of treat did your friend choose? (Pause.) That sounds great! Go make it with the fun machine. Then you can deliver it! (Pause.) Great job! Go find another friend to make a treat for. (Repeat as desired.) That was so fun treating everyone!”
    • After the Activity: “You made fun treats for a lot of friends! Today in our story, we’re going to hear a story about how [Bottom Line] Jesus loves everyone.”
• Cuddle Time
  
  • Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, I think it is so cool how Jesus is a friend to everyone. Please help us be a good friend to everyone like Jesus."
