Bible Make and Do: Book One

A wealth of ideas and inspiration for using with your child, group or Key Stage 2 class.

Discover fresh ideas for Christmas and Easter preparation, as well as bringing Old and New Testament stories to life.

Craft ideas vary from the very simple to the more challenging, but the emphasis is strongly on using inexpensive materials and equipment, recycling and using domestic materials where possible. Children will experience the thrill of making something wonderful almost 'out of nothing'.

Each double page spread features a retelling of a Bible story, followed by instructions on how to make a project to bring the story to life. Cutting guides are also included.

Stories include:
God made the world
Joseph's coat
Moses in the bulrushes
David's harp
Jonah and the big fish
The Christmas story
The centurion's servant
The storm on the lake
The lost sheep
Jesus enters Jerusalem

From Worcester diocese children's work newsletter September 2003

A brilliant book by Gillian Chapman, ideal for all those who find craft activities a real struggle. The books use every day materials as resources and contain step by step instructions for imaginative craft activities relating to a number of Bible stories. The instructions are wonderfully clear and the full colour really helps. At GBP5.99 each these are a real asset to any Junior Church resource box.
