You could spend all of December doing crafts found on the internet for Christmas. ABCJesusLovesMe.com has several suggestions as well. Macaroni crafts may be one of my favorite. Why, you may ask? Because unlike many crafts, this is one that my young kiddos can do mostly on their ...

Bible Scrolls Crafts with Kids
Scrolls are entertaining crafts for the kids to make. It is always fun watching the children unroll the scroll to find the "secret" written inside. Directions: Cut a brown paper bag into a long rectangle. Scrunch the paper up. Smooth it out (using a rolling pin is fun). Continue to scrunch and smooth the paper several times until wrinkles ...
Bible Craft: Crown
Our kiddos made this adorable crown out of a paper plate at church. I especially like this craft because it actually stays on the kids' heads as they wear them. Directions: From the center of the paper plate, cut into eight equal triangles to the ribbed part of the plate. (May need to cut less or more depending on the diameter of ...

The kids loved blowing on the candle; watching it sway back and forth. Print and cut out the candle from the Candle Coloring Sheet. Separate the ...

Making Jericho Blocks
As a child, one the "hot" toys at church were these large cardboard boxes. We built, knocked down, and hit at our creations almost every Sunday and Wednesday. My mom gave me this idea of how to make large blocks out of juice containers. Super easy! Cut the top off the containers and wash out. Allow to dry. Slide one ...
Forgiveness
I love the simplicity of this activity that I came up with to discuss forgiveness. This activity has been added to Week 8 of the 4 Year Curriculum's study of Joseph and Forgiveness. Gather black pompoms and print off the Heart Template. Discuss that sin is the bad choices we make. Sin is like black spots on our heart. Take turns naming a ...
