    S&S\u00ae Aquapaintings\u2122 – Into The Wild<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Aquapaintings are a unique, reusable painting activity! Water and a paintbrush are all that’s required. Featuring real-life images of our favorite jungle animals, these are the perfect activity to add to your theme. With a paintbrush, simply apply water to the sheet and see the image instantly appear. Once finished, you can use the image to facilitate conversation. After each use the image will slowly fade away until it\u2019s a blank canvas ready to be reused!<\/p>\n

      Jungle Shadow Drawing<\/h2>\n

      We love this idea that several groups have done! Kids can use jungle animals<\/a><\/strong> to create shadow drawings. Set up sheets of paper, place the animals in from of the paper in the sunlight, and watch as the shadows form on the pages! Share with your group how God created the sunlight, and it reflects on all of His creations.<\/p>\n
