Easter Craft Instructions – Canadian Reformed Church of Smithville

We hope you have a great time with our Easter VBS @ Home Craft!

Here are the instructions for the craft to go along with the bookmark you received in the paper bag.

Pour some of the black earth topsoil into your flowerpot, about 3/4 of the way full.
It doesn’t need to be tightly packed, but do feel free to tamp it down a little.

Lay the smaller craft stick across the longer one, so they resemble a cross.

Use the pipe cleaner to attach the craft sticks by wrapping it around them in a repeated X pattern.

Sprinkle the grass seed on the surface of the topsoil.

Add another sparse layer of topsoil on top of the grass seed and again, tamp it down a little.

Stick the cross into the topsoil. Water lightly a couple times a week.
By Good Friday you should have some grass growing around the base of your cross!

We hope you enjoyed the craft!

Feel free to join us for worship this Good Friday at 9 or 11 am and again on Easter Sunday where we have services at 9 & 11 am and 1:30 & 3:30 pm.
