Bible Story Crafts for Kids - Individual Creation Cards

This is one of our bible story crafts where each kid makes their own individual bible story craft. It is a simple craft and the idea is to supplement another creation craft. The craft is supposed to act as a reminder for the kids to look at everyday. If the craft is for older kids that can write, they write the bible verse on it themselves. For the smaller ones the teacher will have to write the bible verse on the cards. In that case, if you have a large class, get help!

Bible Verse: Gen 1:31 "God looked over everything he had made; it was so good, so very good! It was evening; it was morning-- Day Six."

This is what you need for this craft:

• Paper plates
• Paper doilies, the same size as the paper plates
• White paper
• Glue
• String
• Color pencils
• Felt tipped pens
• Scissors

Teacher's Prep:

1. From the white paper, cut out circles that will fit into the inside of the paper plates.
2. If your class consists of small kids, write the bible verse in a circle on the outside of this circle of paper.
3. Draw pictures on the inside of this circle depicting the six days of creation, i.e. draw the sun and the birds flying in one part, on another part you draw the garden, in another the see and in another the moon and stars etc. The best way of doing this is to do one and to make photo copies. If the children are older, they can do the drawings themselves.

How to do this craft:

1. The first thing the bigger children can do is to write the verse on the white papers.
2. Now they can do the picture on the white papers.
3. Let the kids color in the pictures on the white papers.
4. Glue the paper doily on the inside of the paper plate.
5. Glue the drawings onto the inside of the paper plates on top of the doily.
6. Make a hole in the paper plate and tie a piece of string through the hole for the kids to hang up the plate with.

Now every kid has his or her card to memorize this very important Bible verse with. I think this is a very important point to remember about Bible Story Crafts For Kids, it must serve a purpose. The craft must enhance the story and make the kids remember the lesson. We must make very sure that the craft does not become a goal in itself but, the craft must always support the lesson.
