Gift Bag
Drawing or print out of Jesus riding a donkey
Directions:
Read or tell your child the story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. You might want to mention that Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem on a donkey to symbolize that he was arriving in peace and not as a war-raging king who would be arriving on a horse.
Cut a "window "in the gift bag
You can print out the photo of Jesus riding into the city gates or the child can draw their own.
Colour Jesus,the donkey and the city gates.
Cut them out and glue them into the bag,
your child can add a road on the bottom of the bag as well and cut out and colour palm leaves to put in front of Jesus.

Directions:
Your child will pretend that they are like the spies in movies, creeping through a laser maze without touching any of the "beams"!
Materials:
-tape/string/crepe paper
-tape
Tape the crepe paper, string or tape on the wall in a zig zag pattern, back and forth, high and low, moving down the hallway. The idea is to create a maze that your child can then work their way through, like the laser mazes you often see in spy movies. Try to make the maze hard enough that your child can't just crawl under the whole thing but easy enough that your child won't be frustrated and give up.
Here's a photo to give you an idea of a potential layout.
