Sunday School Crafts - Unleash Your Students' Creative Side

Students in children's ministry should look forward to each class. However, this is improbable if you stick to boring and dry lesson plans. Try incorporating these Sunday school crafts into your curriculum to get your students excited about learning!

Bad Attitude Box Church Craft

For this idea, you'll need the following materials:

*Colored construction paper
*Permanent markers
*A small, hinged box for each student
*Ribbon

Before you want to begin this Sunday school craft, cut the paper into pieces that will easily fit inside the boxes. Now instruct your children's ministry class to write one bad attitude (such as greed, selfishness, cruelty, etc.) on each piece of paper. After each child has a few "bad behaviors" inside their box, help them write "(Name)'s Bad Attitude Box" on the top of the box.

Have your class write on a separate piece of paper "List of contents:" with all of the "bad behaviors" that are included in the box. Glue the list of contents onto the bottom of the box and tie it up with a ribbon. Now explain to your students that as long as the ribbon is tied on this church craft, bad attitudes can't be with us!

Basket of Bible Verses Sunday School Idea

You'll need the following for this Sunday school craft:

*Blue, pink, yellow, purple and green construction paper
*Stickers
*Scissors
*Glue

Before your children's ministry class start, cut a basket shape out of the yellow construction paper for each child. Now cut egg shapes out of the other paper colors. Instruct your students to complete the church craft by writing their favorite Bible verses on the eggs. Then help them glue the eggs onto their basket shape and allow them to go wild decorating their basket full of eggs. This Sunday school craft is particularly popular during the Easter season.

These are just two ideas for Sunday school that you can consider trying during your next children's ministry class. It's important to keep your students' attention when it comes to teaching them the word of the Lord. Church crafts such as these are sure to get your students excited!
