First

I drew out a simple scene with a path, some weeded area, a rocky area, and a nice big patch of good soil.  I traced them all in marker then colored with crayon.  I made color copies for each child.

Second

I will swirl glue onto the copied page for each child as pictured below.

Be generous with the glue.

A Flood of Evidence

Third

Allow the children to smear the glue well over the picture.  I have to admit that I had a lot of fun doing this for the sample craft.  The littles will liked it, too.

 

Finally

Add beans or seeds all over the picture just as the farmer in Jesus’s parable.  This is a good time to remind the littles (or to gauge their memory) of what happened to the seeds that fell in each of the places.

 

The seeds have been sown.
