Sunday School Crafts - Ideas for Sunday Schools

Thinking of Sunday school crafts for children can be difficult. Children love to learn and need to have their minds stimulated. I can remember when I used to go to Sunday school I loved it when we were given a craft project to do. I particularly remember Easter and Christmas with decorated Easter eggs and making Nativity scenes.

The important thing with any craft idea you have for Sunday school is to make it relevant to the topic you are teaching the children. It must also inspire them and encourage them to want to learn more. Children generally have a short attention span and get bored very easily, so keeping them involved is important.

Think about the particular story you are teaching from the Bible. What sort of craft does it lend itself to?

An example could be Noah's Ark.

You have Noah and his family and all of the animals. This lends itself to many ideas such as colouring pages, making plasticine models, an Ark made from cardboard, cutting out paper animals etc.

There are many websites which will let you download project ideas and even lesson plans for Sunday school. One excellent site is DLTK's Bible website which has a wealth of materials.

I hope to bring you over the course of time, several Sunday School Crafts which will inspire the children you are teaching.
