ideas for a simple baptism craft/activity?

[sr.christinaosf]

We're doing a lesson on Baptism for Bible Study tomorrow and I wondered if any of you might have ideas for a neat craft or activity.  It needs to be pretty simple, as my group needs help.  

Thanks.

What is the age group? There's a website for Catholic crafts for children.. I'm sorry that's all I know! I'll give the link just in case  http://www.catholicicing.com/ideas-for-teaching-catholic-kids-about-baptism/

You're so helpful!

It's actually for seniors who live in our assisted living home, but I usually go with a 5th grade level, even younger for craft activities because many of them have a difficult time.

Ok! I remember you mentioned the work with seniors. I think the crafts on that page are mostly much younger than grade 5 but perhaps on Pinterest  there might be something for a more advanced level as well: https://www.pinterest.com/explore/baptism-craft/

God bless!

I decided on a bookmark with a hole punched, yarn, and a little prayer: Thanks. 

In Baptism we have been filled

with the light of Christ.

May we walk always as children

of the light and keep the flame of faith

alive in our hearts.

May we live each day knowing

ourselves to be beloved children of God.

And when the Lord comes, may we

go out to meet him with all the saints

in the heavenly kingdom to live

with Him forever and ever.

I like that idea:)
