I totally ripped this one off a German Sunday School lesson site. Anyways, I refined it so that you can make the least amount of cuts (in case you, like me, are in charge of preparing crafts beforehand.) This one teaches the story of Jesus healing the paralyzed man really well. As I said, I did rip it off a German site, but I added the verse in English at the top. You need: cardstock, scissors (or cutter), Exacto-Knife, and crayons (optional) First off, you want to cut the "ribbon" part away from the main part. You can do this with scissors...or you can do it with my new favorite office tool: The paper cutter! Cut one: Cut two: (Throw the right-hand portion away.) Next, stack all your "main portions" on top of each other so they are perfectly even. Then, very carefully, and with your non-dominate hand pushing down on the top of the stack (and your thumb out of the way!!!), pull the Exacto-Knife through all four cutting places. If your stack shifts during the cut, restack and press the stack harder with your non-dominate hand. Cutting through the stack like this kills several birds with one stone. First off, you can cut through 2-4 pieces of cardstock at a time--saving time. Secondly, you don't have to worry about cutting through to your table when you do it this way. Okay, here is how you thread the "ribbon" portion through. Remember to thread it through all four slits. The first scene you should see is the man being let down by his friends in the top window, and Jesus looking up in the bottom window. Keep pulling and you will see the man and Jesus interacting. Finally (and don't pull too hard here or you will have to re-thread!), you will see where Jesus healed the man who is now holding his bed. Template: The End!

Looking for a Stick Man craft to accompany the classic storybook by Julia Donaldson? This simple craft is perfect for all ages to create, & ideal for encouraging imaginative play, storytelling & more. Not only is this story prop cute, but he's also eco-friendly as he's made from just one recycled item, making him a fun & frugal craft to make. "Stick Man" by Julia Donaldson is one of our favourite books, the beautiful rhyming narrative appeals to all ages (including adults) & coupled together with Axel Scheffler's fabulously detailed illustrations it's one of those storybooks you want to read again & again. To accompany the book we created this super simple Stick Man made from an old cardboard box! We started by flattening out our box & cutting a section of the corrugated cardboard (approx 30cm x 30cm) which we rolled loosely & secured with tape to create a body for our Stick Man. Then to give our Stick Man some hair we cut into one end of the rolled card (a neat opportunity to practise those scissor skills) & folded these sections in various directions. To create arms for our Stick Man we cut shorter lengths of card & rolled these tightly, securing them again with sticky tape. Stick Man's nose was made in the same way, but we just used a smaller section of cardboard. When making this craft with preschoolers you may want to have the cardboard pre-cut & rolled so it's quicker & simpler for them to construct their own Stick Man. To give Stick Man his distinctive big eyes we drew circles onto white card & glued these on. We used a sharpie to create his facial features & fill in his eye detail. Next, we needed to attach Stick Man's nose & arms to the body, so using a biro we carefully pushed it through the cardboard to create a hole below the eyes, & holes either side of the body for the arms. To make the holes slightly bigger we used a pair of children's scissors & twisted them into the holes until we had the desired shape for the arms & nose to slot snuggly into. (Obviously, an adult would help preschoolers with this part of the activity.) To finish our Stick Man we added a little branch with a couple of leaves, made from the cardboard & a scrap of green paper left from a previous craft. We attached this with a little sticky tape & stuck inside the roll of cardboard. Now our Stick Man was ready for new adventures, new tales to tell, & new friends to be found. I shared this craft recently with a group children with mixed ages & abilities & they LOVED making their own Stick Man! The preschoolers loved carrying their Stick Man around & talking to him, while the older children (6-10yrs) were designing play setups for their Stick Man & creating elaborate adventures for him. So much language & imagination was being shared with this simple story prop, & I loved how each Stick Man was different, each having their own personality & style! There are so many learning opportunities that can be explored with this simple Stick Man craft, & when he's not being played with, he becomes a bookend for your bookshelf. ♥ Looking for more Storybook Crafts?
