Children’s liturgy sets up the perfect atmosphere for the young people of your congregation to learn about Christianity and the teachings of the Bible. When you choose fun and interesting Sunday school activities to incorporate in your Sunday school curriculum, you’ll be sure to get your students’ attention-and keep it.

Swirling Milk Bible Craft

For this Bible activity, you’ll need the following:

*A flat, glass dish at least 2 cm deep and about 15 cm in diameter
*Warm skim milk
*Food coloring
*Toothpicks
*A film canister filled with dishwashing liquid

First, cover the bottom of the glass dish with the milk until it’s about 1 cm deep. Now place the dish onto a table until it becomes completely still, with the milk not moving at all. Now add two drops of each food coloring color at different points around the edge of the dish, being careful not to bump the table or the dish.

Next, dip the end of your toothpick into the dishwashing liquid and touch it lightly to the middle of the milk. Hold the toothpick there for about 30 seconds before lifting it out. This is how the Sunday school activity experiment is performed.

The Lesson Behind the Swirling Milk Bible Activity

Perform the Sunday school activity experiment with the food coloring and milk for your children’s liturgy students. Point out how the different colors swirl in different patterns across the milk’s surface. Emphasize the face that each color stays separate-just like all of us are different individuals.

Now it’s time for the point of the Bible craft. Explain to your children’s liturgy students that if we love each other in the same way that Jesus loves us, then we’ll be like one of the swirling colors that we saw during the Sunday school activity – attractive to others. And other people will then be attracted to Jesus and accept him into their hearts.

This Bible activity is perfect to incorporate in your Sunday school curriculum. It doesn’t take a very long time to perform, and it will pass along an important message to your children’s liturgy students.
