Make copies in color, if possible, of the Door Hanger Pattern—one copy for every two children plus extras.
Cut off small “Jesus” box. Do not cut the hearts out.
Use the hole punch to make a starter hole inside the two outer corners of each door—be careful not to punch outside the dashed lines. This will provide a hole for children to begin to cut with their scissors.
Use the hole punch to make a starter hole inside the large door knob circle.
Make one finished craft to display as a model.
Hand out one door hanger and heart box to each child, along with glue, scissors and markers. Have children carefully cut out the circle hole and the 3 dashed lines of the door. Emphasize that they should not cut the solid line of the door. Have children turn the door hanger face down on the table. Children then will apply glue to the outside front edges of the “Jesus” heart box without putting any glue in the heart area; then carefully attach it to the door hanger so it will be visible when the door on the front is opened. Children should write their names on the back using washable marker.
Have children turn their door hanger over and open the door at the correct time while they say the verse.
Let’s say our SuperVerse together. Revelation 33:20:
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.”
Encourage the children to take their craft home and hang it on a door knob to remind them that Jesus wants to have a close relationship with them!
