Tony Kummer — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:26:43 +0000

In this free video, you’ll learn how to make a coat of many colors using tissue paper. This Bible craft idea is for preschool or elementary Sunday school lessons about Joseph. The children will enjoy this hands on Sunday school activity.

Once finished, the craft can be displayed on church bulletin boards to show what the kids have been learning. The Bible passage for that mentions the coat of many colors is Genesis 37:3-4.

Note: The NIV translates this as the “richly ornamented robe,” while the NASB calls it a “varicolored tunic.” This Bible lesson craft was created by http://www.sundayschoolsample.com/

Heart Craft For Children’s Sunday School

Tony Kummer — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:40:58 +0000

Here is a craft idea that you can use in your children’s ministry around valentines day. Basically you will use two pieces of red construction paper and some ribbon to sow together a heart pocket. This can be used to store Sunday school Bible verses. You can even write something like “I love learning God’s Word” on the outside of the heart craft. Watch the video demonstration for the details.

One suggested time to use this lesson would be around Valentines day for an easy Sunday school activity. You might also find it useful around mother’s day.

To make it even more biblical, you could add a Bible verse from Psalm 119:11, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” You could actually build a whole Sunday school lesson around this theme. This Bible lesson craft was created by http://www.sundayschoolsample.com/
