Banner

When it comes to making cards, scrap booking and other crafts - I'm not the person to speak to. All that sort of thing is best left to others, including my wife. So when it comes to planning craft activities for our Holiday Club I am often a sceptical on looker - wondering how these ideas are going to come together, within the time scale of each morning, and within our overall budget.

But one thing we have seen over the few years we have been running our holiday club is that all of the children enjoy the craft. Both the boys and girls really get in to it, whether they are at the bottom or top end of the age range.

This year one of the bright ideas was to make a banner, that would eventually be hung permanently within the church. The children would be given a felt square and letter, and various other bits such as small felt shapes and buttons which they would use to decorate their square.

We weren't really sure how well it would turn out - but the children loved it, and as you can see the result is amazing.

Now all that needs to be done is for all the squares to be sewn onto the backing material.
