Red Heart Robins
  • Foam Hearts
 (or construction paper)
  • Paper
  • Crayons
  • Read about God's love
    and providence for all
    creatures, especially
    mankind who was
    created in his image.
  • What types of trees do robins build their
    nests in?
  • How does a robin sound?  (Listen Here)
  • What does God say about the birds of the
    air, and his love for us?  (Matthew 6:25-26)
Step 1
Cut your foam hearts in half.  (We picked up
foam heart stickers in the discount Valentine's
Day stuff, look for the sales right before Spring!)  
You can also cut out felt hearts or even
construction paper.  
Step 2
Glue or stick the hearts onto the sheet of
paper.  Show children how to draw little
birds using the hearts as the little red
bellies of the birds.
Step 3
Encourage them to fill their paper with
lots of robins....maybe a Mommy, a
Daddy.....you can even use smaller
hearts to make the baby birds.
All Done!
Add lots of background scenery......a nest,
some tree branches and a bright blue Spring
Sky.  Older children can write the bible verse
on the back of the sheet, and the little hearts
can remind them of God's love for us, and how
he will take care of our needs.
