Wisemen Art Idea: "Star Wands"

One year we made star wands. We cut star shapes out of gold poster board and punched holes near the tips. Kids threaded ribbon through jingle bells and tied one ribbon to the tip of each star. Ahead of time, I had someone put a slit at the top of a wooden dowel and we glued the star into the dowel. We each made one and then made extras for the congregation. During worship, we waved our wands during the hymn, We Three Kings.

Another activity that I have used is Epiphany Bells. It tells the story of the Wisemen using different sounding bells.

It can be found in the book Creative Ideas for Epiphany, edited by Linda Davidson, published by Educational Ministries, Inc. (ISBN-10: 1877871249) Note: Now OUT OF PRINT, however, used copies are available.
