Instructions and Suggestions

Materials

*  Children will have fun putting together a tasty and friendly Willy Watermelon craft.

*  Complete the craft using the simple instructions at DLTK.  Use the black & white version preferably with children 3+ and older to encourage creativity and use of coloring items.  Children under five may need assistance with scissor cutting.

* Write the following on the green edge of the finished craft:  "Oh taste and see the the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8 and have the children repeat with you.  Try to sing it to any tune or melody!  

*  Read the following passage from your own Bible or here is the passage: 
Psalm 34:8
Version 1:  "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that thrusteth in him." 
Version 2:   "Taste and see the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."

Some discussion suggestions:
*  This passage gives an opportunity to talk to young children using sensory perceptions (a tasty watermelon) about the goodness of God and the meaning of trust.  

*  Use your own judgment as to how to explain in simple words how God's presence is in all the good tasty things that he has created.  

*  We should always be thankful for the wonderful and tasty things God has created for He is in all good things around us.
