Vacation Bible School begins this week at my church. Our theme is space. I have the honor of preparing a craft for the children.

I found this cute glow-in-the-dark star project. It doesn’t take much time and the kids will love seeing their project glow at night. Supplies are shown below.

• Heavy-weight black cardstock
• putty or glue to adhere stars
• double-sided tape to adhere memory verse
• Glow-in-the-dark stars

Set the project in sunlight or under a bright light for an hour. This will give the stars a heavenly glow.

Our Bible verse is taken from Psalm 147:4 (NKJ) He counts the stars and calls them all by name.

I also made cut-out star cookies and when the project is finished, we can all frost a yummy treat.

May all children learn the wonders of our Heavenly Father.

Have a great Vacation Bible School!

  

I found this neat Father’s Day craft/gift online. It can be tweaked for anyone. We’re making these in our church preschool classroom. On the back, we’re including a Bible verse.

This craft would make a wonderful graduation gift. Just create a tie in your student’s school colors. Add your monetary gift. You can also gift dad with the same.

Supplies needed:

• small security lined envelopes
• glue sticks
• scrapbook paper
• candy of choice or a monetary gift

Seal the security envelope first. I used a glue stick. Cut across the tip of the envelope to provide an opening. Cut a one-inch slice into the front of the envelope and fold down the collar. I created a sample tie.

Insert item of choice into the envelope.

Happy Father’s Day!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and I have a fabulous book recommendation, a revised version of Find Me In Paradise by Deb Gardner Allard. It’s a heart-pounding tropical adventure with clean romance. A perfect gift for mom, and it’s available on Amazon. To learn more about Deb, please visit her website: www.everydayromancewithdeb.com

I also have an easy flower packet and watering can craft. I made this several years ago and found the template online. Today there are many new ones. I’m making them again this year for our Sunday school class. The students will gift them to their moms on Mother’s Day. Colored cardstock, seed packets, and curling ribbon are all you need.

Update on moonflowers!

In my last post I wrote about starting moonflower seedlings. I’ve never been able to grow them. I’m thrilled to announce not only did they make it, but they are also thriving, and I moved them to larger pots. I plan to gift them on Mother’s Day.

May every mother have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

 

 

 

    

For two years, I’ve tried to grow the night-blooming moonflower. If this year’s attempt at the sweet-scented flower takes root, I’ll share the results in my May post. I hope to gift these beautiful climbers as Mother’s Day presents to family and friends.

I soaked the seeds overnight and planted them in seed starter pots filled with moist potting soil. I covered the pots with plastic and after the seeds sprout, I’ll remove it. Next, I stationed them near a sunny window. When they’ve grown a few inches high and the fear of frost is gone, I’ll transplant the seedlings outdoors.

Items needed are pictured below.

 

 

I’d love to hear if anyone has had success growing this beautiful flower. Please respond in the comment section below. Thank you.

Good planting!
