“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

This cute bookmark will serve as a constant reminder that God is the creator and sustainer of everything.

  2. Color and cut out all of the pieces.
  3. Grab the blank rectangle and trace it twice onto construction paper.
  4. Cut out the rectangles.
  5. Glue the “in the beginning” template onto one of the construction paper cut outs.
  6. Glue the cloud and z’s to the back of the large template. In between the 5 middle spaces.
  7. After the cloud and z’s have dried, on the other side, fold on the solid lines creating a crease. Do this for all of the solid lines. The rectangle will fold in on itself into one visible rectangle.
  8. Add glue to the back of the 1st day square and stick it on the back of the “in the beginning” piece.
  9. Finally add glue on the empty rectangle, right after the sixth day, and stick it onto the last construction paper piece.

Your kids can now go over the story of creation at any time and will have a wonderful tool to share the story with their friends.

The Twelve Spies Bookmark

Posted on Updated on

Trust. That is what ten of the spies lacked. They saw with their own eyes that the land was just as God had said it would be. They saw how God protected them and sustained them in the desert. Yet they focused on the difficulties of the situation.

We want our kiddos to be like Caleb. He saw the promise of God before him. He had total trust in God and in His promises. We should teach our kiddos to trust in God, even in the face of difficult obstacles and that is what this craft will remind them of every time they use it.

Instructions

  1. Print out the templates onto colored paper or construction paper . (Template)
  2. Cut out the leaves and the grapes. You will need around 20 grapes.
  3. Cut out the Trust template.
  4. Glue the leaves to the Trust template. Then the grapes.
  5. Cut of any excess grape overhang so that there is a clean edge.
  6. Glue onto a piece of white card stock.
  7. Cut it out leaving a small border of cardstock.
  8. Then glue onto a piece of purple construction paper.
  9. Finally cut it out again leaving a small border of purple construction paper.

For a variation you could use different shades of purple for the grapes.

I have also included an “I Am The Vine” template as a variation to this craft.
