The Big Book of Bible Crafts: 100 Bible-Teaching Crafts Using Economical, Easy-to-Find Supplies! Paperback – December 1, 2015

This has been a wonderful book for me. I teach a class with children ranging from ages 3-12. I was able to modify the crafts easily for the little ones. This book has lots of great, easy to follow ideas. I would recommend it to anyone needing a great bible craft book.

Since we never know how many children will show up and the ages vary, this is the perfect book. The crafts are adaptable for any age and use mostly items you generally have around the house. With a little preparation, the crafts can be done in 15-20 minutes.

I like this book because it's organized into sections like Christian Life, Moses, Jesus' Birth, etc. so it's easy to flip open and find something quickly. The crafts are interesting and easy to do from a well-stocked craft closet. Having a book with 100 ideas at my fingertip is so much easier that surfing the internet endlessly looking for ideas.

This book is wonderful as it helps teach the child the bible. As you read the bible story the crafts they make coincide with the story. So you know the child understood the story through the craft she made. Thank you.

This was a bit of a disappointment for me. I teach ages 18 month to 5 years old in a small church, and typically have 3-6 children in 45 minute class. Most of these projects take at least 20 minutes. The projects that take 10 minutes or less have a LOT of set up/clean up involved, or take a lot of space while they dry. For example, "painting" with drink mix powder on wet paper. Even if every child kept the powder only on their papers, we would have to find a place to allow the papers to dry flat.The projects are ordered by age group and by type within each age group. Only 2 age groups are given: PreK and Elementary School. There is a world of difference in the abilities of a first grader and a fifth grader!Each craft has a "Bible Bits" blurb that attempts to tie the project to a specific Biblical concept (faith, miracles, creation, etc), but actual scriptures are few and far between. Some of the projects are simply regular art or craft items that are being shoehorned into Biblically related crafts. For instance, the "Rainbow Glass Vase" is listed as a Noah project, but does not reinforce the story of Noah's salvation or God's grace in carrying him and his family through the Flood. It simply is a recycled bottle covered in liquid starch and craft tissue squares that is pretty and tangentially rainbow related.We don't currently have a VBS program at our church, but if the other mothers and I get together over the summer for play and craft time, many of these projects will probably be used.

As soon as I got it, I started using it with my grandson and daughter. They love it too.Illustrations and instructions are great. Easy to cut out and to follow up with our Bible classes at home.

I have used it several times at Sunday school for the 4 year olds where I have been teaching for 20 years. It is helpful and the children love the crafts and activities

I teach Sunday School in our nursery at church, and this book is a great supplement. I can almost always find a craft in this book to go along with our lesson. I have similar books as well, but I find I use this one the most.

A recommander pour toutes celles et ceux qui veulent vivre la foi et la Bible avec des groupes d'enfants et tentent de rendre les chose splus ludiques et incarnées

This item is a great way to find original activities that you can center around a course. Most of the activities are for young children, but you can modify them yourself to make them more challenging.Karl

I bought this to help me with ideas for a church toddler group. We tell a story and then do a craft related to the story. I have been doing the stories for a few years and I decided to splash out on a book. It wasn't what I expected. Not very inspiring and they don't really link the crafts to many stories. I will stick to online resources in future or just my own ideas! Having said that, I probably will use some of ideas at some point but overall I was disappointed.
