Additional Activities:
- Read about the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) and talk about how it is now available to be baptized with Holy Spirit.

- John the Baptist Puppet: cut out John from a coloring page. Color. Attach a craft stick by glue or tape. Have your child hold the puppet while saying the theme verse. I used a coloring page 169 from The Really Big Book of Bible Story Coloring Pages. There is also this one.
- "God Gave His Son" Bible Verse Journal: 1. print the verse page on card stock 2. paint with blue water color 3.add it to your 3 ring binder (you can try this cling wrap technique, it didn't work for me but maybe it will for you!)
