Crates and slime

The Sunday school director at our church is a sweet lady named Clelia.  She had an idea to buy crates to use for decorative storage in the classroom, and she wanted to paint them bright colors.  Since we have an air compressor for painting, I volunteered to have our workers paint the crates.  What I didn't realize was that they were going to soak up the paint like a sponge, even the primer!  So the paint she bought was used up very quickly, and I ended up going back to the store twice to buy more paint!  But 6 or 7 coats later, the end result was beautiful.

Soon after that it was my turn to teach Sunday school.  Here in the public school system there seems to be a lack of good teaching about science, and the kids didn't know much about the existence of germs.  So I taught them about germs, tying it into Sunday school by the fact that God made very small things.  We made slime as a craft because when talking about germs it seemed appropriate!  The kids had a great time!
