Craft time is a great way to bond with your toddler.
Whether you are a parent or a Sunday school teacher, there are many creative ideas for toddlers that will enhance your bible lessons. Toddlers love to experiment and love to hear stories. Create Christian toddler crafts that reflect your favorite stories. Crafting is sure way to leave a lasting impression.
Toilet Paper Roll Characters
Empty toilet paper rolls aren't garbage!
Toilet paper and paper towel rolls are usually abundant in the average home. Rather than throwing them away, make bible characters out of them. Choose a story and use craft glue and construction paper and washable crayons or finger paints to create the character's bodies and faces.
Creation Story Book
Make a Creation story book. Create a cover page and a page for each day of creation. Help your toddler by drawing the outlines for the sun moon and stars, the heavens and the earth; plants, creatures of the air and sea, animals and Adam, the first man. Be sure to include the important seventh day of rest. Let him color the pages you have drawn. Use construction paper or card stock for the pages and punch holes along one side. Use small loose-leaf rings in the punched holes to keep it all together.
Milk Jug Bird Feeder
Use an old milk jug or carton to make bird feeder. Recite the verse Luke 12:22--24 (English Standard Version):
22 And he said to his disciples, (A) "Therefore I tell you, (B) do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 (C) Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. (D) Of how much more value are you than the birds!
Carefully cut a large hole in the side of the jug with box cutter or utility knife allowing enough room for a bird to get in. Let your toddler color the jug with non-washable markers so the ink will not run in the rain. Fill the jug with bird seed and hang with twine or strong string on a tree or post.
