5 Quick Christian Crafts

October 5, 2013 by Shellie Wilson 1 Comment

Finding time for meaningful faith activities can feel a little tricky when life is busy, especially if you are trying to balance school, home, work, and everything else in between. That is exactly why quick Christian crafts can be such a helpful go-to. They give children a hands-on way to connect with Bible stories, Christian values, and faith-based learning without needing a huge amount of prep time or supplies. The original post introduces this roundup as a collection of five Christian crafts aimed at Sunday school, while also suggesting they work beautifully for family craft time at home.

One of the lovely things about easy Christian crafts for kids is that they open the door to bigger conversations. A simple bookmark, handprint craft, or printable booklet can become a chance to talk about kindness, courage, gratitude, prayer, or Bible stories in a way that feels natural and age-appropriate. Not every faith-based activity has to be a big lesson plan. Sometimes thirty quiet minutes around the table making something together can say just as much.

This roundup includes five simple projects: a Bread of Life printable booklet, a David and Goliath pouch, a Handprint Rainbow, Bible Bookmarks, and a Religious Candle craft. That mix gives you a nice variety of printable, symbolic, and hands-on ideas that can suit different ages and settings.

Sometimes it is hard to find the time to be a Christian in this busy world and it is even harder to find the time to teach your children Christian values. These 5 Christian crafts are aimed at Sunday schools, but why not take 30 mins to sit down with your family and create something bigger than just a religious project.

Celebrating Mexican Independence Day

Lots of Americans seem to think that May 5 is Mexican Independence Day, but that holiday actually falls on Sept. 16.

May 5 is the celebration of the Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans defeated the French in 1862. Independence Day marks the beginning of their fight for independence from Spain in 1810. That was the day of what’s known as El Grito de Dolores, or the cry of Dolores, for when the Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bells at his church in Dolores and declared that Mexico should be free from Spanish rule.

They would fight for their freedom until 1821 when they finally gained independence.

Fabulous Classroom has a little of the history and ideas for celebrating the holiday for all age groups. There’s also a link to a good video in that post about the real story of Mexican Independence Day.

Twinkl also has a good tops about the history and different activities, discussion ideas, crafts and foods that can be incorporated into lessons at school or used at home.

I also found a few pins that no longer link to a website but include good information on Mexican Independence Day, including some questions for students to answer based on the reading. You can find more printables and questions for kids from TX Homeschool Mama on Etsy (also available in Spanish).

You can find a lot more paid resources about Mexican Independence Day at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Mexican flag crafts are a fun option for celebrating Mexican Independence Day (though the current iteration of their flag has only been in use since 1968). Kids Activities Blog has a free Mexican flag printable and a few different ideas for decorating it including dot markers and torn tissue paper.

You can also find some great Mexican crafts at Red Ted Art. The post includes all sorts of Mexican inspired projects including Day of the Dead crafts, Frida Kahlo pinatas and upcycled musical instruments. I love the giant paper flowers they shared from Honestly WTF.
