This craft serves a dual purpose for students and teachers and is cost-effective and easy to create. Simply purchase decorative paper, such as scrapbook paper, and inexpensive photo frames at your local craft store or dollar store. The teacher writes a Bible verse on a chalkboard and the students copy the verse onto the paper, decorate it with markers, colored pencils or crayons and then frame it. The craft make a great decoration and will help children memorize Bible verses.
Purchase poster board or construction paper at your local craft store and have children and parents bring in old magazines that can be cut up. Have the children cut out images that could relate to Bible stories from the magazines and use glue sticks to paste the pictures to the poster board or construction paper. When that is completed, have the children write Bible verses they are memorizing on the paper under the images. This project will help children learn the verses by associating them with pictures.
To create this project you will need clothes pins and craft sticks as well as a hot glue gun and markers. Simply use hot glue to glue the craft sticks into the shape of a cross and then glue a clothes pin to the back of the cross. Have the children decorate the crosses with the markers any way that they want or have them write their names on the crosses to create class name tags. Make sure to supervise children using glue guns and offer assistance to avoid burns.
