While I often encourage children to process their thoughts by freely choosing their materials and subject matter, I do occasionally offer them specific projects. Here are a few of the projects that we have used in children's church or at home that can be adapted for either setting. (Some of them are my own ideas, but some of them are from other sites and are duly noted in the blog entry itself.)
