Found a new resource this evening. I couldn’t seem to be able to locate our play dough recipe so I went looking on the net and found the Best Ever Play Dough Recipe at the website K-3TeacherResources.com. Why you are over there you might like to have a look around – as it looks like a really useful site for teachers and parents alike.
On the topic of play dough try and think creative – as it can be used for many things. Below I have provided a few thoughts and ideas on how you can utilise play dough at home, in your classroom or at events:
I’m sure that there are probably even more game ideas if you go looking online – feel free to share them as a comment below.
Happy play dough making!

I had a bit of trouble locating worksheets specific to Acts 2:41-47 and I decided this week to provide you with the activity sheets in slightly different format.
Leading into this bible verse is Acts 2:1-41. Previously I have posted links to kids activities relating to this bible verse:
The Coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost
Reading from my Good News Bible (Acts 2:41) it says “Many of them believed his message and were baptised, and about three thousand people were added to the group that day.” This bible verse touches on two topics – discipleship and baptism:
Discipleship: The Calling of the First Disciples
Baptism: Sermons4Kids – New Beginnings
Acts 2:42 speaks about the apostles “They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers.”
Then Acts 2:43-47 goes on to discusses the life among believers and how they care for one another . . . which you could relate back to the Vine and the Branches story. Alternatively there is a good sermon provided by Sermons4Kids titled Love One Another:
Sermons4Kids – Love One Another
Looking at this weeks homiliesbyemail.com children’s lectionary sheets they also seem to fall within this theme. Luke 17:5-6 is about faith and Luke 17:7-10 is about a servant’s duty:

Have an awesome week! For those who have been hanging out for a newsletter the first one should arrive in your inbox toward the end of the week.
