Vacation Bible School - Fruit of the Spirit

I hosted a "Fruit of the Spirit" Vacation Bible School for 12 little girls this past Friday.

 I taught all 9 fruits from Galatians chapter 5, matching them all up to actual fruits.  The kids did a great job listening and participating!
 We had spoon races with plastic fruit.

We had pizza, fruit (of course!) and cross cookies.
The kids colored fruit tree coloring pages
 and painted paper plate watermelons with lime and strawberry "jello paint".

 All of the kids went home with posters that help them practice all the fruits of the spirit.  The cool thing is - a few parents have since told me that they've hung up their posters and their kids have really started practicing displaying their fruit! Yeah!

All in all, it went really well. I took away a few learnings from the experience that I can hopefully apply to make the next one even better.  (The main learning-  employing help! Two moms stayed and helped tremendously! Thank you Monica and Annette!)
