Kids 8: Activity Day Outline Activity: Butterfly Suncatchers craft #1 For how-to directions click this link: http://www.minieco.co.uk/butterfly-sun-catchers/?utm_content=bufferc6ba1&utm_ medium=social&utm_source=pinterest.com&utm_campaign=buffer This activity is not only a fun craft but also a great way to celebrate beauty while tying it into the theme “Be the Change.” Discussion suggestions: 1. Becoming the best we can be, admitting to and learning from our mistakes, being kind to others, being the light where we are. 2. When you make the butterflies they are pretty colors lying on the table but when you put them up to the sun, the light shines through bright and beautiful. This can be likened to taking on the light of Christ and trying each day to follow His example and be more like Him.  Butterfly Suncatchers craft #2 (optional) For how-to directions click this link: https://www.firefliesandmudpies.com/butterfly-template/ Closing  Read/Recite “The American’s Creed” (located in the Activity Day Resource pdf)  Closing Prayer  Announce the next month’s theme and date/location for the next Activity Day.
