Print the main handout on cardstock. Students can color the handout, and each should be given an eye that is already cut out. They can also color the skin parts around the eye. A paperclip should be scotch-taped onto the back of the cardstock where the healed eye will go. Then these healed eyes also will have a magnet on the back. The students will be able to use the craft to tell others that Jesus gave the blind man new eyes to see. They also should know and say that the man learned to see that Jesus is the Son of God.
This is the pdf of the blind man. This is the pdf of the healed eye.
The Tulsa Air and Space museum offered a free flight to kids ages 8-12, but I got permission to let Miles go up even though he is 7.5 years old. I was worried that he wouldn’t go, but he did it, and here is what he said:
So much has been happening lately, that I think this list with pictures might be a good way to explain.
Play baseball.
Watch Henry’s game with great-grandma.
Flip upside down for a photo.
Or just do a funny pose.
Visit the morning dove that nests in our backyard.
Calm down, you angry birds.
Hug your best friend.
Admire the sheep grazing in the pasture.
Watch the farmer shear his sheep.
Take home some wool.
Blow a bubble.
This week I have a simple maze to illustrate the water that was in Jacob’s well. When St. Photini went to find it she was given something much greater.
