NOT BEES

 

Posie: Oh, I hate these pesky bees. Shoo! Shoo! Leave me alone.

 Rosie: What are you doing? Don't hurt those bees!

 Posie: What are you talking about, hurt the bees? Don't you know those bees have huge stingers and it really hurts to get stung.

 Rosie: I know they have stingers, but when they drink nectar from one flower pollen gets on their legs, when they go to another flower the pollen from the first flower is deposited in the second flower. The farmer calls this pollination. Without pollination the plants can't produce fruits and vegetables.

 Posie: You mean the bees help the plants. 

Rosie: That's exactly what I mean. Without pollination the apple trees won't have apples. Without bees the squash plant won't produce squash. The bees are the farmer's friend. He welcomes them into his garden and orchard.

 Posie: Even with their stingers.

 Rosie: God designed the whole plan. In God's divine plan He can take even bad things and bless His children with them.

 Posie: Now come on!

 Rosie: The Bible says in Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

 Posie: Wait a minute are you saying God can use bad things to bless His children?

  Rosie: The Bible says "all" things. He means all things. Sometimes bad things happen to Christians, but if a Christian will hold on the Word of God, God will turn those bad things into good things.

Flower Power contains 13 skits that can be done by two flower puppets or two actors dressed in flower costumes.

 Directions follow for making flower costumes. These skits are designed to help your students grow Godly attitudes.  Titles include: Growing faith, What You Plant Grows, God Made it All, Love, God is With Us.

 You can use puppets (Click here to see the flower puppets.) for these skits are you can use your children as actors. Make a large flower costume and have the children “grow” out of a large flowerpot.

To make large flowers and the large pots you will need foam and cardboard. Glue the foam to the cardboard with contact cement. Using clipart or a coloring book select a picture for the flowerpot and the flower or draw it freehanded. Draw a flower on the cardboard. Cut out the flower. Cut away the center of the flower where the face will be. Spray the cardboard black. Spray paint the flower, including the edges with any color you would like. Hot glue an elastic strap across the back to hold the hood on the head. Sew a sack with opening on the side and bottom for the arms and legs to go through. Put a drawstring in the top of the sack. Make two leaves like you did the hood. Attach two elastic straps to hold the each leaf on an arm. (To use under black light. Spray a light coat of florescent paint over the base coat.) Make a flowerpot out of masonite or cardboard. Paint it brown or clay. Hinge an arm on the back so the pot will stand up, much like a picture frame.

The flower should wiggle out the top of the top like a flower would grow out of the pot.
