James and John have 2 crafts, this being the first. This craft looks at the idea of greatness as encountered in Mark 10. It’s an ideal craft for those youngsters who want to show their parents what they have learnt, it’s also quite fun it that it moves. The template pages are provided with and without colour for your choice.
Thomas’ lesson already has a little paper craft focusing in on the two hands, this is an extension of that for those groups familiar with the hero series.There are 2 ways of making up this craft and both the template pages are provided with and without colour.
In the background of this little diorama we can spot the hero images for Peter, Nathaniel, and Andrew, plus the reoccurring but not yet featured Philip and brothers of Thunder, James and John.
The pivitol point in the story of Ishmael is the choice Abram makes. This simple folding craft, inspired by Aunt Annie’s Tetraflexagons, is a simple display of how God’s plan and Abram’s plan did not align, turn to the back to see Hagar and Ishmael having to leave.
Thomas’ lesson hasn’t been started yet, but I needed a Thomas craft for church and so I thought I’d share what I’d come up with. It’s a really simple layer picture, ideal for a fast craft or a younger group.
The story of Andrew is beautifully simple on the outside, the events the scripture tells us about are easy to retell, and with that in mind I’d like to introduce the simple bible theatre. This craft is probably best done in small groups with a time at the end for them to tell the story using what they have created.
As Andrew was the first called to be a ‘fisher of men’ alongside his brother Simon-Peter, I couldn’t resist giving him a couple fish-hooks on his character image and making this really simple hanging craft.
I love this idea but it’s defiantly a special project that needs a bit extra time to make or at least preparation. Sarah and Abraham’s descendants were as many as the stars, this craft comes from the idea that we are all now part of God’s chosen family, stars of Abraham if you will. The hat is easy to construct though I’ve set out some alternatives below so you can adjust it to your resources.
Sarah and Abraham’s promise from God was quite literally written in a star, and this paper craft commemorates that by turning stars into babies. Quick to prepare and easy to do, it’s a great craft for the younger children or groups that are very limited by time.
