Art, Craft, Drama & Games

Creative Ideas for Advent and Christmas contains a wealth of inspirational easy-to-do ideas for the busy weeks in the lead-up to Christmas. All the ideas use readily available materials and have instant appeal. Many can be slotted in to any situation, used to illustrate the story of Christmas, or just done for pure enjoyment as part of the exciting 'getting ready' time. Some use seasonal objects that are easy to find in the shops, such as paper chains, or things that many people will have in their Christmas box, such as last year's Christmas cards. Ideal for 4-11s.

Playchutes (parachutes designed specifically for play) are multi-coloured, multi-age and multi-fun from the moment they appear from their bags to the moment they are packed away. They are increasingly valued as a tool in Christian teaching and worship activities, including storytelling, songs, prayers, praise, reflection and games, as they naturally encourage many of the values at the heart of the Christian faith.
