Crafting The Word Of God

This craft can be done for different bible stories and adapted for each one. It is very versatile. It can be used for:

•  Teaching children the story of Noah. (Genesis 6-9) You can add a branch to the birds mouth for this story.
• Teaching children when Jesus was baptized. (Matthew 3)
•  Or you can teach about who the Holy Spirit is.

If you have any other ideas about what other bible stories this craft can be applied to I would love to read them in the comments section.

Instructions

1. Print out the templates. (Template)
2. Cut out the body, the wings and the feathers.
3. Snip each individual feather around the border of the feather. (For a nice effect, before snipping the feathers, crumble them up, then snip each individual feather around the border).
4. Then glue the feathers onto each wing. (Eight on the bottom and six on the top).
5. Glue the wings to the body.
6. Finally color in the beak. If the child chooses he can draw on the feet.
