Colourful seed plates

Introduction:

What would it be like if your mother said to you, "There's no food today!"  You started to cry, because you were hungry and your tummy made funny noises.  That wouldn't be nice, would it?   So today we are going to make seed plates to remind us to say, "Thank You" to Jesus for the food we had today.

Activity:

  1.  Make sure each child's clothes are protected with a smock.

  2.  Give each child a paper plate and let them share glue and bowls of seeds.

  3.  Help the children glue seeds onto the plates to make pictures or patterns.

  4.  Set the plates aside and allow the glue to dry.
     
  5.  Help the children punch one or two holes in the top edge of their plates.

  6.  Then tie string through the holes to hang up the plates.

To Finish:

You have made some beautiful seed plates that you can take home to show Mommy and Daddy.  Let's close our eyes and say, "Thank You Jesus" for the lovely food we had today.

God bless!
