Craft Ideas: Jesus Gives us Tools to Pray

Prayer is a wonderful blessing in our lives as Christians. God has given us a beautiful gift in allowing us and teaching us to communicate with Him. It is important to teach children that Jesus modeled prayer and wants us to pray! These two crafts provide fun visual reminders of prayer concepts. A prayer chain provides ideas for students to pray about daily. A "prayer telephone" is a fun and creative tool to emphasize that prayer involves both talking and listening. Have fun and get crafty!
