Form the face of an animal of your choice with the different colors of the

door. While there, he realized a plan that two eunuchs
had to kill the king. He immediately told Queen Esther,

so that he could denounce him before King Ahasuerus. It was investigated


and the men were punished. We children of God cannot do wrong, so if we
realize that another child is doing something wrong, we must stay away from
him.

2. Write the first letter of the drawing in the box below and you will
discover the relationship between Mordecai and Esther.
The first thing you have to do is cut a square of cardboard. The size will
depend on what you want to do, but it does not have to be very large, for
example 20cm x 20cm. Once you have your square ready, draw a face with
a pencil. Remember that the nose will be a clothespin, so you can draw it
too, the rest will be the fruit of your imagination. Paint your face with
colors, you can choose as many as you want. To do this you must use
finger paint or tempera. Finally, glue the wooden clothes press hook and
you will have a coat rack. To stick it on the wall, you can nail it (To do this,
ask your parents for help). Ready, you now have a personalized coat rack
to hang scarves or another object that you want to have on display.

Bad actions should not be imitated. If someone wants to incite you to do


something bad, stay away from them. Remember
that God is everywhere, watching the bad and the
good.
Because Ahasuerus magnified Haman, all the servants who were at the king's
door knelt and bowed before Haman, except Mordecai. This filled Haman
with anger and he managed to persuade the King to issue a decree to
destroy the Jews. The teaching of this chapter is related to the way we
should present ourselves before the authorities, with great respect, but

with cushions or pillows so that children feel comfortable. Each Bible reading
will be done in that place and the children will sit, forming a circle, paying

Cut out a circle of green foam. Then draw your hands on colored paper or
green cardboard. Cut them out and stick them behind the foam circle.
With the black marker, add details such as the mouth and nose. For the
eyes, you can use white foam and glue a circle of black paper on it to
simulate the eyes. You can add details such as a string so you can hang it.

We cannot bow before anyone, because worship is exclusive to our God.


Likewise, arrogance and pride never lead to a happy ending.

After fasting, Esther appears before the King without
having been summoned. She found grace in the King's
eyes and extended the scepter to him. This allowed
Esther to carry out her plan to save the Jews, inviting the
King and Haman to a banquet. When we trust in our God
and ask him from the bottom of our hearts for his
protection, he sends us his angels to defend and protect us. Nothing bad will
happen to us.

The following is a lesson in humility. When the king


consulted Haman about how to honor a man, he
thought he was talking about him and he spoke of greatness. However, it turned
out that he said the same thing, he had to do it with Mordecai. Children should
not behave in a haughty manner or with boasting, on the contrary, we must be
humble, so that God may exalt us at the appropriate time.

We will start by cutting out the base
of the ornament, where you can use
a template but it is recommended
that to make the hole where it will be
hung you first measure it with the
door handle.
Next you will have to cut out a circle of the skin color to make the character's
face, it is hooked at the bottom of the base.
We will cut out and glue a small oval of the same color in the center to make
the nose, and then attach the eyes and use yarn to make the hair.
With a small strip of red yarn we can place the mouth. Then draw and cut out
the child's name at the top and we will have this Door Hanger Craft with
