Activity Time
In the center of a piece of heavy paper, make the shape of a cross with two pieces of masking tape, washi tape, or painter's tape. Then, have your child paint all over the piece of paper with watercolor or color all over the paper with marker. After the entire paper has been filled with color, remove the tape to reveal the cross underneath. In the cross, write down words that describe Jesus from this verse. Continue writing words together that describe Jesus. Hang this in a place where your family will see it for the next few days. As we remember Jesus' death and resurrection this week, use these words to talk about His sacrifice.
