If I were making this craft with kids I would tell them that there is a lot of waiting time in between the steps of this craft. I would allow them to do something special during that waiting time like watch a favorite TV show or movie. This way the waiting time isn’t a drudge and they know they have 1 episode to watch before they can do the next step.

If I were doing it during a homeschool day we would start the craft in the morning after devotions and then complete 1-2 subjects before moving on to step 7. Kids wait better when they have to wait and how long they have to wait. Giving them this information allows them the ability to wait with the proper attitude because they know what is expected.

I hope you like this craft. My goal is to get at least one craft post a month up on the blog. Make sure you subscribe so that you don’t miss a post.
