More Bible School Crafts

Our Bible School lessons were from the "Go Fish" guys. (A singing group.) It was called Backstage With the Bible. We found these "Pick Jesus" necklaces in the Oriental Trading Post catalogue for each kid. My class made Shrinky Dink pendants each day to add to their necklaces. They liked designing them and watching them shrink in the oven. We had a symbol that they could copy each day. (See above.)

We made these Grace/Faith crosses one day when the theme was "saved by grace through faith." These are easy and fun and inexpensive. I cut out a batch of assorted colored fun foam 1" x 1" squares on my paper cutter, then cut out backs in a contrasting color of fun foam. The kids can choose their colors of foam tiles and glue them onto the cross, then write the letters in the correct boxes. We have made them in a smaller version that said "God" across and "Love" up and down through it. You can hang them or put magnets on the back for the fridge.
We made these crosses on the same day as the fun foam crosses. I wired the two square masonry nails to each other before class. A little hot glue or other glue on the back would not hurt either. The kids could pick out a few beads and wire them to their cross. I attached a jewelry jump ring to the back of each of them so they could hang them on the wall or use them as a necklace. All of these crafts cost $1 or less each.
