This Naomi or Ruth craft illustrates the moment that Oprah leaves and Ruth stays. The mechanism is simple but not recommended for very young children. Moving crafts are always fun and this little double hinge gives a lovely effect.
This craft was a suggestion from Anja, and as there are three key characters in this story it gives a lot of options. These puzzles are really simple and would make a great filler activity for those who finish all the other activities early.
This is a simple craft that can tie into either character in the story. These beautiful and really simple hand shaped bowls are both a lovely thing to take home and use as well as being a great thing to create a bold wall display with. Please note this activity needs close supervision.
Simon the Zealot is transformed by becoming part of Jesus’ Apostles, his change is psychological and not physical, meanwhile the man with the shrivelled hand undergoes a very physical transformation. This pop-up craft begs us to question how the characters are transformed and how does our relationship with Jesus transform us?
Revelation is a lovely theme for this lesson on Jude Thaddaeus. Often we see revelation as understanding the whole picture but in reality often revelation is only getting a glimpse at part. This craft plays with that notion but revealing the various images one by one. If your group likes moving crafts or colouring then this is a nice combination of both, with the added bonus of being really easy to construct.
This is a craft mechanism from the archives reused because it’s a lovely example of revelation. As well as being a visually effective craft it uses the minimum of materials and can be done straight from the printer. It could be done with younger children though they could need help with cutting – though there is more room for error than you may imagine, though it does require a good level of cutting skill.
Samson is a formidable character and this craft shows off his lovely braids, all seven of them (Judges 16:13). Seven is the number of greatest power in the Jewish tradition and repeated throughout the story. Grab your colouring instruments and some bootlaces and prepare to play hairdresser!
