Tower of Babel
There is a really good video clip about this Bible story on The Answers in Genesis site - click here to go straight there. In one of our toddler groups we've been learning about how everything began. We started with creation, then how things went wrong for Adam and Eve when they sinned against God.… Continue reading Tower of Babel
Noah’s ark
I really enjoyed putting this craft together and the children enjoyed making their own too - which is the main thing! There was a bit of prep - cutting an ark shape from a folded paper plate and tearing tissue paper into long strips. the ark 'floats' on the tissue paper water. The animal stickers… Continue reading Noah’s ark

Jonah and the big fish
This half term we are thinking about animal's in the Bible. So we made a start with the story of Jonah.

Y is for the rich young man
The story of the Rich Young Man (Mark 10:17-22) has a sad ending. He loves his money more than Jesus. With older children you could talk about  things that get in the way of them following Jesus. You could also add a question mark symbol and talk more about why the young man asked the… Continue reading Y is for the rich young man
Z is for Zacchaeus
I made this to use with under fives to tell the story of Zacchaeus. He moves up the tree which is great for keeping the young children interested. We are doing the story as part of our Bible Alphabet series. It's from Luke 19:1-10. The tree is a Pringles container covered in brown construction paper… Continue reading Z is for Zacchaeus

H is for Horeb – Bible Alphabet
In Deuteronomy 5 Moses refers to the mountain  where he received the ten commandments as mount Horeb.

There was a 'mini… Continue reading H is for Horeb – Bible Alphabet
Make a life-size Goliath
The Bible tells us that Goliath was over 9 feet tall. (Read the story in 1 Samuel 17). It isn't always easy to imagine just how tall someone is so we made a life size Goliath. The basic technique for doing this can be used for many pictures and would be very good for making… Continue reading Make a life-size Goliath

Bible alphabet – E is for Eve
E is for Eve. Although the bible doesn't say that Eve ate an apple we used an apple to tell the story from Genesis 3Â as it's a familiar fruit for the children. It worked well having two real apples to choose from held by a person pretending to be a tree. Then an adult playing… Continue reading Bible alphabet – E is for Eve

Bible Alphabet – Bethlehem
B is for Bethlehem where Jesus was born. Although it isn't Christmas it seemed a good idea to do the story of Jesus' birth for B. In our craft we made pictures of Bethlehem and for the story we used visuals from a book called 'A Saviour for you'. The pictures are fantastic. Available here http://cefresources.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=95_97_101&products_id=423… Continue reading Bible Alphabet – Bethlehem
