Preschool Bible Crafts is a project proposed in kindergarten to teach the children the first notions about religion. There area lot of celebration connected by religion as Christmas, Easter, if it is to speak about two of the most popular religious celebrations.
So it’s the moment to tell about what Christmas means that it has
a connection not only with Santa Claus, his reindeer and presents. We must explain him that Easter means more
than painted eggs and Bunny’s basket full of goodies. Now he/she receives the first information about God and
his angels, about the importance of church and so on.
The information must be according their power of understanding. And because all their knowledge till now is based on visual and acoustic information, the most properly method to teach them these matters is to tell them the events, to make from them a true story and then to let them create different objects connected with these events. So, you’ll be sure they have understood exactly what you meant.
So propose to draw different heroes of the bible about you have already spoken, let them draw scenes from it and step by step make them be aware of the importance of the religions. A child must transpose every information into an image; otherwise it would be almost impossible to learn.
And, because children love crafts, this is the easiest way to reinforce the lessons about Bible, about stories from it. In this way God there is anymore a cold notion or face, and angels aren’t only some cute children with wings and become the good beings that watch over them
Printables can be very useful here. With their help children can recreate events and characters from the Bible. Another idea is to put them make some dice. Then put them to throw them and depending the number of the dice and ask them to tell what God created that day. Or ask the children to make an egg holder, and then to pain one that always remind them what is the true meaning of Easter and the fact that Jesus is alive. Another craft can be the creation of a boat to symbolize Noah’s Ark.
Bible is the most valuable book we have. Its verses are our rules in life. They are spiritual rules but the most powerful and obeyed ones. We can’t deprive our children of these spiritual laws because they are the most valuable wealth of the human being.
