Pepper Stamping

Who hasn’t eyed a pepper while making dinner and thought ‘That looks like a Violet’? What a fun way to play with your food!

Materials Needed:

-Pepper, sliced crossways so that the outline is of….a violet. Leave white inside bit intact.

-Washable paints

-Paint brushes, preferably the foam flat kind, but any will do

-Paper for background (I used colored card stock) plus extras for fun

-Wipes or washcloths for clean up

Optional: Pictures of violets (Google image search is just fine)

1. Look at pictures of violets together with your students

2. Have STUDENT apply thin layer of paint on exposed edges of pepper with a paintbrush

3. Slowly stamp pepper onto paper and lift straight up. Be amazed at God’s glory.

4. Have student add whatever details they want, a stem, some leaves, a flower center, colored flower petals, a sun, clouds, butterflies. It really is a fun easy craft 

5. Have your children help you clean up.

John 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
