Sunday School Awards, Summer Sunday School awards, home school or Sunday School Crafts: Kids multi-purpose achievement medals

Award these colorful medals for any purpose. Either teachers can make them up, or partially make them and let the kids color them.
There's room for one word on the medal!

kids Achievement Medals

Multi-purpose- use for study or other Achievement or attendance awards. Or like Joshua, be a soldier for God. Space for one or so word per medal - or very tiny printing.

In many of the armed services great leader's jackets are decorated with medals they have earned for doing special things. This whole group of colorful medals is referred to as "Salad". We are going to make a "Salad Bar" out of a popsicle stick for adhering several medals. But you can do just one at a time and clue on individual pinbacks.

Right: Salad bar on uniform
They can overlap if you have bunchs!

Get popsicle sticks and pinbacks

Precut the 2 sets per page or continue

and/or precut just one medal that you will be awarding.

Best if teacher adds word so it fits in the space.


(If teacher is giving out an entire strip) 1 Precut the rectangle around each medal.	2 Color now

3 Cutout	4 Make salad bar by simply gluing pinback in center of popsicle stick. Let dry. You can use white glue or hot glue, or get self adhesive pinbacks. Put your name on the back.

5 Option here is to glue one inch wide pinback directly onto medal (if card stock has been used ) Uses a lot of pinbacks. You can try a two inch saftey pin on the popsicle stick, but you need to tape around and over the stick to make it hold on AND allow gluing to it on the front. Some Masking tapes work wound 2 or 3 times around the stick and open safety pin. Hot glue does not work unless you embed the stable side of the pin standing up in a whole lot of glue.	6 you can overload the sald bar and overlap the medals as needed.
