Completely nonsectarian, the God's Paintbrush Celebration Kit can be used in a variety of settings and environments, such as vacation Bible school, Sabbath morning children's service, Sunday school, or a day-long or weekend retreat.
Each activity sheet includes the use of crafts, games and other indoor and outdoor activities designed to encourage your students to think about God in new and exciting ways. The Teacher Folder contains instructions and additional suggestions to make every session an extra-special spiritual learning experience.
