Letter of the Week Craft; B is for Bible

Our letter of the week craft is here; B is for Bible. After our bible lesson, we made this super cute personalized mini bible. 

Here is what you need:

*5 sheets of construction paper (any color)
*Markers 
*Cross sticker (optional)
*Ribbon or thick string
*Paper punch
*Bible (to choose bible verses of your liking)


First, take your sheets of paper and fold them each in half so that the width is 8 1/2 inches and the height is 6 inches. Then fold each of them again so that the width is 4 1/2 inches and the height is still 6 inches.

 Now, you should have 6 halves....now, intertwine them all to make a booklet (see picture below). Next, use the paper punch to make a hole on the top and the bottom of your mini Bible. Take your ribbon and weave it through the holes to tie the pages together. Make a tight knot or bow-tie. 

Next, write your child's name on top of the bible and personalize the cover. Then, search the bible for your child's favorite bible verses. Enjoy :)

Letter of the Week Craft; A is for Angel

Yay! Our first letter of the week religious craft is completed :)  The kids had a blast putting this together; they love any craft that deals with toilet paper rolls or pipe cleaner! Each week we will have a religious craft pertaining to the letter we are learning. Enjoy!

This craft is super easy, even for a 2 and 4 year old. Here is what you need:

*Toilet-paper roll
*5 pipe-cleaners (2 one color, 2 another color, and another yellow/white for halo)
*Yellow & white construction paper
*Christmas tinsel 
*Clear packaging tape
*Black marker

First, twist 1 piece of the same colored pipe cleaner to the other piece to form the angel's wings (butterfly shape). 

Next, once you have formed the wings, twist 2 pipe cleaners of a different color around them (this will give them a multi-colored look). Tape the wings on back of the toilet-paper roll.

Then, once the wings are intact, cute out a circle from your white construction paper and some hair from the yellow paper. Draw a cute face on the circle. Tape the hair to the face, and then tape them to the inside-front of the toilet paper roll.

Last, take your final pipe cleaner and twist it into a circle leaving a few inches sticking out on the bottom (so that you can tape it to the back-inside of the toilet paper roll). Then, twist the tinsel around the halo! Finished!

                                  

Jesus Loves Me So Much He Gave Me....

Jesus Loves Me So Much He Gave Me....

This morning, we decided to make hearts dedicated to Jesus. We wrote His name in the middle of the heart and came up with things that He has given to us that we enjoy. I bet you can guess if this heart is my daughter's or son's? Anyways, it was a nice reminder of the things that we take for granted.
