Hundreds and Thousands, Millions of Sparrows…

… but God knows every one and God knows me!

Did anyone else sing this at Sunday school? Ah, Just me then?

Well it was the inspiration for the toddler group craft that I sent for last week. (I was at work…sniff!)

You could of course make them yellow with orange legs and call them Easter chicks or with red tummies for robins at Christmas!

Here’s the how to:

I just drew all the shapes free hand (and then drew around them 30 times or so for toddler group!)

Attach tummy to body

Add the beak (it’s a diamond shape folded)

and the eyes:

Concertina fold strips of paper for legs and attach them:

and finally add wings:

I failed to find an mp3 or music score, but here are the words for the sparrows song:

1.
There are hundreds of sparrows, thousands, millions,
They’re two a penny, far too many there must be;
There are hundreds and thousands, millions of sparrows,
But God knows every one and God knows me.

2.
There are hundreds of flowers, thousands, millions,
And flowers fair the meadows wear for all to see;
There are hundreds and thousands, millions of flowers,
But God knows every one and God knows me.

3.
There are hundreds of planets, thousands, millions,
Way out in space each has a place by God’s decree;
There are hundreds and thousands, millions of planets,
But God knows every one and God knows me.

4.
There are hundreds of children, thousands, millions,
And yet their names are written on God’s memory;
There are hundreds and thousands, millions of children,
But God knows every one and God knows me.
