Nature Prayer Pictures
Ask the Beavers to think of something they like in the natural world, this could be a tree an animal or beaches. Then give out the paper and pens and ask them to draw a picture of this and write a short prayer thanking God for nature. You could adapt this activity to other subjects or make one large prayer picture for the whole Colony. You could also make a collage or mosaic instead of drawing and colouring.
