5 Quick Christian Crafts

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.

Lacing is a great fine motor activity, and most kids go through a phase where they enjoy working with lacing cards. It helps promote focus and is a great quiet activity for kids to do in the car or to fill time in the classroom. And of course knowing how to lace is the beginning of knowing how to sew, which is great for all kids to learn (more on teaching kids to sew here).

There are lots of ways to make your own lacing cards. This one is just a pin but it’s easy to make lacing cards with any shape a child is into using cardboard and a nail to poke the holes. This could be fun for letter and number recognition or spelling the child’s name. Or try this version from Hey Azka, which uses a hole punch to make bigger holes so you can lace with shoe laces.

You can also just do lacing cards with paper, but it’s a great idea to print them on card stock and/or laminate them to make them sturdier for little hands. Homeschool Share has a set of alphabet lacing cards, which are free with email signup. Deceptively Educational has a set of number lacing cards with numbers 0 to 10.

Picklebums has some basic shape lacing cards, too.

Living Life and Learning has a bunch of cute printable lacing cards, including back to school designs, shoes kids can lace and learn to tie and ocean themed lacing cards. She also has tips for making your own lacing cards.

A Rose Tinted World made their lacing cards with craft foam, which makes them a little more durable than paper and you can cut it more easily than cardboard. They used a die cutting machine but you can also cut shapes by hand.

I also love the cat and mouse cards from Seam Whisperer. They also have some spring themed designs. So cute!

If you want to make lacing cards that are more open ended, check out this tutorial form Pretty Life Girls to make lacing cards that are more like geo boards. Theirs are made with wood but you can also do this with cardboard, craft foam or card stock.
