“When Israel was a child, I loved him, and I called my son out of Egypt. But the more I called to him, the farther he moved from me, offering sacrifices to the images of Baal and burning incense to idols. I myself taught Israel\u00a0how to walk, leading him along by the hand. But he doesn\u2019t know or even care that it was I who took care of him. I led Israel along with my ropes of kindness and love. I lifted the yoke from his neck, and I myself stooped to feed him.” Hosea 11:1-4, NLT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity from the Hands-On Bible<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people of Israel were God\u2019s children, but they had turned away from him. Did God turn away from them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No! Read all of HOSEA 11 to see how God describes himself as a parent. Cool, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a doll to make that will remind you that God wants you to be his child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Take a 3×5-inch cardboard, and wrap yarn around it lengthwise 50 times. Thread a piece of yarn through the top of your wrapped yarn and tie it off. Slide the yarn off the cardboard. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Then wrap yarn around the cardboard widthwise 25 times. Tie it off, and slide your yarn off the cardboard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

To make a doll, take your first bundle of yarn, and tie off a head about 1 1\u20442 inches from the top. Take the second bundle, and thread it through the middle of the first bundle to make arms. Tie off your doll at the waist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Separate the loops into two legs, and tie off the foot on each leg.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Read Hosea 11 again. Your “child of God” doll can help you remember that God loves you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
