10 Commandments craft and printable

February 16, 2012 Ticia 11 Comments

Happy Chocolate Sale Day!  Okay, so that started yesterday, and is actually the reason for this post.  I wanted to alert you to a cool item for teaching your kids or Sunday School the 10 Commandments that I made, and if you read all the way to the bottom a 10 Commandments printable to use.

10 Commandments heart

 

10 Commandments craft Supplies

giant chocolate heart, foamboard or posterboard (I used the thinnest layer of foamboard, if you do that you need a thicker box, like as in one designed to hold 2 layers of candy), various red tissue paper and red or pink scrapbook paper

 

10 commandments craft step 1

1.  Trace your box onto your foam board.  When you cut it out, cut just inside the lines.  Check to make sure you can easily take your heart in and out of the box, for me I needed to trim my heart a little.

2.  Trace the top part of your heart and divide it into two.  This will let you make the pieces for the Commandments (sorry, I have no pictures).

3.  Start putting your paper on using mod podge or something similar.  I figured out that tissue paper works best because it adds the least bulk.

4.  Check to see if it all fits in your box.  The second time through it did for me, it was a real sacrifice but I ate that second giant box of chocolates.

If you don’t want to make a heart like this, you can make a paper version (click on the picture to get the 10 Commandments craft printable):

    Well, my kids saw me make it, so they knew chocolate wasn't in it.

    Their big disappointment was they didn't get to make the big fancy version also.

    I also wondered if they were expecting to find cookies inside.

    This is a great idea.
