Preschool Bible Crafts
One of the best teaching strategies to help kids remember stories well is to integrate the lesson with arts. The main values and lessons from the story can be emphasized better with the use crafts.
For example, there are many good stories from the Bible that you may want to share with your preschoolers. There are also a lot of possible preschool bible crafts that you can think of.
You just have to remember that they should be directly related to the story, or something that they can easily remember. It must be something that can emphasize the values or lesson presented in the story.
For example, if you are going to teach Joseph’s Coat, obviously, the coat itself can be the focus of your activity. You can ask the children to design blank papers and color them. Very simple designs will do.
It’s also best if you have some samples to give an idea to the kids. You can also print some designs and let color. Wall papers can also give beautiful designs.
Then, ask them to cut squares and triangles. Ask the kids to swap designs with each other to get more designs and glue them on a blank paper. Make sure that you have a prepared output. Then let the students present their own outputs and ask them about important values learn from the story.
Another good bible story that you may want to use for preschoolers is Noah’s Ark. There are many values that can be learned from the story. One of the good values that you may want to emphasize is that God keeps his promise.
In the story, the rainbow was the sign shown by God that the flood is gone and He has completed His promise. You can help emphasize the lesson more by making rainbows.
This is one of the easiest preschool bible crafts but very effective.
You can use paper plates to easily make arches. Let the students cut out the arches and then color them with all the colors of the rainbow.
It’s advisable to make your own along with the children to make the instructions clear. Then, write the words,” God keeps His promises.”
Let the students take them home and tell them to hang the rainbows on the walls of their rooms. This is one of the best ways to make preschool bible crafts memorable.
