Special scrapbook

Our 4 and 2 year olds loved making a special scrapbook in which they could keep a record of their Bible craft activities.

What you'll need:
Scrapbook
Coloured paper
(you can also use sequins, stickers or whatever you have on hand)
Clear contact
Scissors
Glue

Instructions:
Cover scrapbook front and back covers and let your children decorate with their bits and bobs. When finished and the glue is dry, cover with clear contact. On first page inside you can get them to decorate a title page and write: '(Name)'s special book about God'. We also divided our scrapbook so that the front is for Old Testament activities and the back for New Testament.

Thrifty craft supplies

Any good 'useful box' of craft supplies is accumulated over time and for the most part the items used in our craft activities are readily available and might already be lying around the place at your house.

Collect: boxes of all shapes and sizes, toilet rolls, ice block sticks, beads, buttons, old magazines and newspapers, wool or string, plastic spoons, paper plates, plastic drinking straws, wooden pegs, googly eyes, glitter, cotton wool, material scraps, ribbons, coloured paper.

You'll also need: paints, pencils, scissors, glue, pipe cleaners, sticky tape, masking tape, permanent markers.
We also use garbage bags as our drop cloths and covers so the mess of our activities is easily cleaned up afterwards.

Start collecting today, you'll be amazed at how quickly your craft supplies grow!
