The Big Book of Bible Stories to Make by Fiona Hayes
Years ago, before I started homeschooling, I taught in the same preschool that my youngest daughter attended. As both teacher and parent, I had the advantage of seeing preschool handicraft from both sides.
As a parent, I would silently curse my daughter’s teacher every time I collected her after school, for she always had a load of strange-looking concoctions made from cereal boxes, kitchen roll tubes, glue and paper. I mean really! What was I supposed to do with it all?
But as a teacher, I could see how much the children looked forward to that part of the morning when they were let loose on the myriad of boxes, paint and glue. Creative arts and crafts are such important developmental tools for youngsters.
In our own homeschool, we loved using unit studies when my girls were young, the combination of reading and doing tended to help solidify our learning. Children move from concrete (physical hands-on) learning when young to abstract concepts as they mature, so it is my experience that a hands-on activity really works when accompanying a lesson.
If you want to add a craft to your Bible time then check out this book.
