Provide scissors, magazines (edited for inappropriate pages), glue and construction paper. Allow kids to find and cut out at least six outfits they like and would like to wear. As kids search and cut, talk about how the son in the Parable of the Lost Son was given gifts of clothes when he returned home. Jesus told the story about the father told the house servants to bring fine clothes to his son because he was so glad to see him. What clothes would you like to get as a gift of love? Along with the clothes on the collage, include the story reference, a memory verse, an application phrase, or a miniature copy of your teaching picture so the kids can remember the story of the Lost Son and tell about their collage!
