Prodigal Son Feast Collage
When the prodigal son came home the father had a big celebration along with a big feast. One fun idea is to have the kids create a feast collage. You can bring in different magazines that have various pictures of food and have the kids cut out all the pictures that they would have at a celebration feast. Bring placemats and paper dishes so that they can glue their pictures onto their plates. Bring extra plates as some children get really carried away and will need more than one to fit all their feast food on.
You can really have a lot of fun doing these crafts that go along with the Prodigal son bible story. Kids love crafts that go along with stories and it can really give them a better understanding of the symbols behind the actual story. Have fun.
Prodigal Son Father's Day Card
Since this story has a lot to do with the return of a wayward son to his Father, it’s a great idea to do something around Fathers day to celebrate and thank their earthly Father’s for all that they do to help them make good choices, and love them unconditionally. Some ideas for Father’s day crafts are:
· Father’s Day cards with a picture of child and son together. You could request a picture from mom, or you could just take one of the two of them together.
· Father’s Day heart ties. Sounds corny right, but really the heart signifies how much a father loves his son, and the tie part is just for kicks. It’s not like he’ll wear it very often anyway.
