Chris18 had asked...

I'm looking for a prodigal son art idea. Not interested in wire sculpture - we've used it recently in another lesson, so we want something different. Any other ideas out there?

Hi Chris,

I SURE hope our Artsy people see this, but thought I'd take a shot at it. Sometimes I like to look at the "props" in a story for inspiration, and this story has one that can turn into something very cool to go home:

"Shoes for his feet"

The shoes here are most likely "fine" shoes signifying his restored status in the family. What you wore to cover up/protect your gnarly toes and show some respect, I suppose.

You ever done one of those moccasin crafts? I did one when I was an Indian guide and I treasured those things.

You can get more elaborate and expensive, but the basic ones pictured at that site are what I'm talking about. Let us know if you try it.
