Bible School Paper Craft Filler

As we worked through the week of Bible School, I would come home and realize that I might need some "filler" during craft time the next day. This is when it comes in handy to have a craft store (or the rough equivalent of it) in your basement.

One night, I decided to try making stained glass coloring pages. I searched the web for stained glass-type images in free clip art, and downloaded a couple. Then I printed them out in multiples on a page and copied them onto vellum paper. Find vellum paper at craft stores or stamping stores. Be sure to try printing one out and let it dry and then color on it with markers to be sure your ink does not run when colored on by the kids. After these are colored, have the kids cut them out and put them in front of a window to show them how they glow like stained glass.





You can also order pre-made stained glass coloring books at doverpublications.com. They make great gifts or car trip coloring pads.
