Age Groups:

• elementary

Supplies Needed:

• sheets of spongy foam
• construction paper
• magnet backing
• picture frame pattern
• armor shapes patterns

Elementary Instructions:

Each child receives a piece of that spongy foam stuff. Have them trace around a pattern, then cut out the picture frame shape (both the outside and inside edges). Then have them cut out spongy-foam pieces of armor shapes (bibles, shields, swords, helmets, whatever) and glue them on the front of the frame to decorate it. On the back, have them glue just on the sides and bottom edge only (not the top edge or middle) and attach a construction paper pouch to hold the picture in place. Then have them attach the magnet on the back of that.

Preschool Instructions

Each child receives a pre-cut spongy-foam frame. Then help them decorate the front of the frame with pre-cut spongy-foam pieces of armor shapes (bibles, shields, swords, helmets, whatever). On the back, help them glue just on the sides and bottom edge only (not the top edge or middle) and attach a construction paper pouch to hold the picture in place. Then attach the magnet on the back of that.
