Craft Ideas Heart Magnets Here are the Instructions in PDF We changed the craft slightly too – painting beautiful hearts – pure, kind and radiant ones – but then stringing them up, instead of using them as magnets. We loved the way they look, when we wrote the words first with oil crayons, and then painted over with a water based paint – the brightly colourful results are gorgeous! ![]() Here are some magnets we made with the children one year - cutting heart shapes out before hand, and then creating our own "kindly", "pure" and "radiant" hearts to take home and put on our fridges. #bedazzled. ![]() Here was an activity we did with the class that was slightly older - writing out the words for the quotes before hand, and then having to reassemble the prayer as a memorization activity; repeating this several times with a timer :) Examples to show a Pure Heart 1. use 2 clear drink bottles and fill with water. Tell the children that they represent two hearts. Fill one bottle with black food colouring, sand, saw-dust etc. and explain that each substance represents a lie, hurting others, being disobedient, etc. Fill the other with red food colouring, glitter, beads, flowers etc and explain that each one of these things represents being honest, caring, helpful, friendly, prayerful etc. The children can then make their own bottles - with colourful food colouring, glitter, beads, flowers etc. 2. Cut out a heart in the middle of some card. Stick clear or red cellophane over the hole and then get the children to add radiant stickers. Write the quotation from the lesson onto it also. It can be taped to the window as a stained glass of sorts. 3. Movement: Storm of Kindness 4. Hands-On: Play-Doh Activity | Stories The one we read today, was about two visitors who came to see ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. They didn’t like each other at all, but ‘Abdu’l-Bahá showed them how to be friends and told them ‘My home is the home of joy and delight. My home is the home of laughter … Whoever enters through the portals of this home must go out with a gladsome heart.”They left the house the best of friends. A Kind Heart Here is another story that can be used for younger children Colouring sheets |
