I love to have some kind of craft or activity to go with our Bible time. In my own quiet time I’ve been drawn to the book of Mark, and began reading. I love how it’s written. It’s straightforward and easy for me to understandfor the kids.
We read from Mark 1 last week, and made this craft. I thought I’d share. When I new I wanted to make something fun, I went straight to Pinterest, and found a few ideas, and was inspired by this one.
I figured we could come up with something similar using supplies we had on hand. Craft time is so much better when you don’t have to buy stuff!
Here’s what we used…
Bible
Jumbo Popsicle sticks
gingerbread cookie cutters
scissors
glue
yarn
constructions paper (or card stock would be best)
and then of course…
pencils
markers
crayons
and whatever else you wish
We used the gingerbread cutters as stencils to make the men (and women). Then, we “dressed” them up a bit.
Cut them out and glue onto construction paper.
For the net? I glued the strands of yarn like this…
Let dry. Then I weaved yarn through and tied at each end to make a “net”.
Somewhere along the way I picked up homeschooling two boys and blogging. When I'm not scrubbing toilets or answering endless questions, I'm usually here, over sharing it all! My writing is always honest, sometimes sarcastic, and never perfect. I hope to keep my kids from seeking adult therapy. I know.
