Easy Religious Crafts for Kids
As you know, we here at Learn Crafts Online love crafting with our kids. It's always fun to come up with a new crafty idea that involves children. It's doubly-good when the craft can include an educational lesson too. One way to encourage our children's curiousity about religion is to use existing religious items and craft them into something new... One of our readers (Bev Schweigert of http://crafts4fun.blogspot.com ) submitted this great easy religious craft for kids.
Our Sunday School is always looking for ideas on how to keep little ones quiet
during church services... so I'm passing on this idea to them as well.
They have quite a few old story books with pictures in them of Biblical characters.
The kids never seem to read them any more and some of them are very old with ripped
covers and torn pages. I'm suggesting that they let the kids cut the characters out
of the books and then use a glue stick to put those pictures into a notebook of some
sort, possibly using a Composition Notebook (LCO note - you could have the kids decorate the notebook as well - very fun and crafty!). Then the name of the Biblical character
could be written under the picture. As they are putting them into the book, the
teacher could talk about each character so that the child knows who it is....
For example, if the child put a picture of Noah in his book, the teacher could talk
about the big flood and could even help the child draw water and an ark around Noah.
The child could sit in church and go through the pages, looking at all the pictures
and remembering the story of each character!
