Just as Samuel grew in the grace and knowledge of God, so should we!
Supplies: cardstock, felt, yarn, rubber cement, hole punch, scissors, Sharpie
Template:
Draw three coat outlines on a 9- by 12-inch sheet of cardstock. Draw a line that divides the cardstock in half horizontally. Cut out the coats. Above the smallest coat, write "Samuel grew"; around the middle coat, write "and the Lord was with him." On the other side of the sheet of cardstock, write "1 Samuel 3:19" above the largest coat. Cut a 4-1/4 x 4-1/2- inch square of patterned felt.
Direct the children to cut the sheet of cardstock down the line dividing it in half. Fold each piece in half vertically to make four "pages" and slide the bottom folded half inside the top folded half. On the last page, instruct the children to paste the felt square. The felt should be visible through each of the coat outlines on the first three pages, and the coats grow larger as the pages turn. Punch six holes on the left side of the booklet, and let the children lace them with yarn to hold the book together; tie the yarn on the back side.
