February means Valentine's Day -- a great time to help children
share God's love with others! Here are fun, fast, and meaningful
ways to share God's love in your classroom with fun craft *Make
coming into class fun. Cover the outside of your door with red
or white paper. Have the children cut out heart shapes of all
sizes and tape them to the door. Add the words "GOD IS LOVE" at
the top. Put photographs of each child on a different heart to
surprise them when they return next Sunday. *Add a growing tree
of hearts in your classroom. Put a tree branch in a container
filled with small rocks or marbles. Provide paper to cut hearts
from, then punch holes and thread a pipe cleaner through the
holes to hang on the tree branches. Have kids write one way God
has loved them during the week on a different heart and add it
to the tree. Once the tree is finished, celebrate what a loving
God we have. By Debbie Trafton O'Neal
