This stained glass cross is a simple art project for very young children, even toddler age children. This is one variation of the project.

Cut a cross shape out of the center of a black sheet of construction paper. Use clear contact paper on the back of the black paper. Fill in different colored tissue paper squares in the open cross shape. Cover the other side of the black paper with another sheet of clear contact paper.

The colored paper will show through the open cross shape.

Fold a sheet of aluminum foil into squares or triangles or various shapes.

Unfold the foil. Paint the different shapes with different colors.

Easy art project for preschool students.

Here is a great illustration to help explain how Jesus chose to die on the cross for our sins. 

Rub a piece of black charcoal on the hand to symbolize our sin, our mistakes, our bad choices, our mess-ups. These black marks on the hand represent our sin and how dirty sin makes our lives.

Next wipe hand on a white cloth to clean it off. The black smudges will rub off onto the white cloth to symbolize Jesus taking our sins to the cross and to the grave.

Jesus is sinless but He wiped our sins away for us and took them to the cross for us. We can now be clean because of Jesus.

This recipe is easy for preschool students to make jungle juice. A healthy citrus juice. A great ending to a jungle theme week.

Ingredients: 1 bag of oranges, 1 bag of lemons, 1 bag of limes, about 2 cups of sugar to taste, ice and water

Cut each piece of fruit in half. Use a juicer to squeeze each fruit half. Pour the fruit juice through a strainer to drain out the seeds and pulp. As students pour the juice into a big pitcher or container, place the strainer on top of the container to pour. The students will enjoy watching the rain-like feature of the juice going into the container.

After squeezing all the fruit juice into the container, add water and ice to continue filling the container full to the top. Add about 2 cups of sugar to taste. Enjoy.
