These were made to represent helmets of s-lv-ation when we studied Eph. 6. This was a VERY simple and easy craft, but the kids LOVED it. All you need is:
Scissors
glue
staples/stapler
heavy paper (Card stock works nicely)
markers or stickers for decorating
I got the template from an old craft book, but by looking at this picture you could probably figure out what to do. I cut the template for the helmets ahead of time, along with the small tassel stuck to the top and the strips we used for attaching them to the kids' heads. So, during craft time, the kids just glued the tassel on top, and decorated their helmets however they wanted to. Then, I went around and stapled strips to the sides, then stapled the strips together in the back to match their heads. It was a pleasant surprise to see how excited the kids were to wear their little helmets. A nice little take-home project like this is a good place to attach the week's v-rse, so the kids have a little reminder for studying the rest of the week.
