Suggested Activities:

• Bible:
Worshiping God is another way to spend special times with God.  We worship God by thanking Him and praising Him for what He has done and who God is.  One of the ways to worship God is to sing and play music.  Make musical instruments to play while praising God through Bible songs
- Maraca - Place a few dried beans or rice on the top of a paper or plastic plate. Lay another plate (with the top down) on top of the plate.  Staple the sides together.  Decorate with streamers, yarn, stickers, etc. -or- Place dried beans in a plastic Easter egg.  Tape shut.

- Drum - Use an oatmeal container with the lid.  Cover the sides and decorate.

- Tamborine - Poke holes along the edge of a paper plate.  Push the base of little "jingle" bells through the holes.  String the bells underneath together with a piece of yarn.  Decorate and add streamers.  -or- Poke holes around the edge of a plastic bowl.  Push the base of little "jingle" bells through the holes. Using pipecleaners, thread through the bell base and twist.  Decorate.

- Cymbals - Collect two metal lids (from baby food or other glass jars).   Poke a hole in the middle of the lid using a hammer and a nail.  Fold a pipecleaner (approximately 3" long) in half.  Push the end through the hole and twist.  Fold the ends so they are against the bottom of the lid.  Have the child hold the pipecleaners and hit the lids together.
