- Sponge paint God Loves a Cheerful Giver using coin shaped (circle) sponges.

- My Giving Bank:  Make a bank out of a cylinder container.  Cut a slit in the lid.  Decorate and write "I Can Give to God."  Place coins and money in the bank to give to church, missionaries, or other ministries.

String red, orange, and purple beads on a string or Fruit Loop cereal on a pipe cleaner.

- Review the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Little Miss Muffet"

- Cut a triangle or rectangle out of cardboard and make slits around the edges.  Using black yarn or thread have the child cross the yarn over the front of the shape from one slit to another to make a spider's web.
