Tools and Basic Supplies

• Glue Sticks
• Plastic spoons
• Scissors

Pre-Prep

• Photocopy the Isaiah 1:18 Verse Cards onto white copy paper. Then cut out one verse per child.
• Cut yarn into approximately 11-in. pieces, 1 per child. The yarn should be long enough to cover the valley created by the cup lid when the cup is upside down with the lid snapped on.

Teaching Tie-In

We're making a snow globe today with something special inside it. Does anyone know what that is? Yes, a cross! Every time you see a cross, it should remind you that Someone loves you more than anyone in the whole world. Do you know who that Someone is? It’s the Lord Jesus Christ! He loves you so, so much that He came to the earth, died on the Cross, and rose from the dead to make a way for you to spend forever with Him!

Class Time Directions

• Press one cross (or Bible) sticker onto the top of the lid, covering the straw hole.
• With the cup in front of you, add a pinch of white crinkle paper, a pinch of blue crinkle paper, a spoonful of rice, and 4 or 5 confetti snowflakes.
• Glue stick the top and side of the rim of the cup.
• Snap the lid onto the cup.
• Press the blue yarn into the gap between the lid and the cup. It should stick to the glue stick that was applied to the side of the rim in Step 3.
• Add the remaining 3 cross stickers to the outside of the cup, evenly spaced.
• Glue stick the verse card to the bottom of the cup (top of snow globe).

Tip Corner

1. Baby wipes (cut in half) work well for removing glue from sticky fingers.
