Water Miracles

clipart Jesus walks on water

Tonight, my lesson is on the miracles of Jesus.  I’m focusing on “Jesus Walks on Water” and “Jesus Calms the Storm”.  I had a few activities in my books to do with the kids.  I’m sure that they’ll like the variety.

These are just a few suggestions that I have to help enhance your lesson.  After we read the story, we did this page.  This is great for littles and has a lesson for one of these miracles.  I’m a huge fan of Rainbow Publishers and have the book that these crafts come from.  I was going to do one of them, until I came up with my own.  

I wanted to do a special craft project with the kids though.  I decided to do something versatile and fun.  What I ended up making could be used with either miracle.  I’m sharing the project with you in hopes that you all can use and enjoy it.  I’ll be sure to let you know what my kids think of it too!!

What I plan on doing with the kids is to tear or cut shades of blue tissue paper.  We’ll glue them down to blue or gray construction paper.  While that dries, the kids will color the pieces of this craft (boat and Jesus) and cut them out.  We’ll then glue them on top of the sea waves (tissue paper).  With this printable, I’ve included some water waves that can be printed on cardstock if you don’t want to mess with cutting/tearing tissue paper and gluing it down.

Here’s a sample that I made to show the kids of how to assemble theirs tonight….

The clipart (boat, disciples and Jesus) was drawn by my husband, and I’m thankful for his talent to help me with my projects for the kids.  Please remember that no part of this may be shared, sent via e-mail, or uploaded to any site.  I’d appreciate if you’d link to this blog post….thank you!!

If you’d like to make this craft project, just click to….

If you use this project, please leave me a comment or use the “contact” button in the right hand column.  I love to see what other’s do with my projects, so please share your completed craft so that I can see how they turned out!!

Z is for Zacchaeus

Well here we are at the final Color & Write page of the Bible ABC’s.  I can’t believe that the religious education school year is over.  But it is….today!!  I’ve had such a great year and I had fantastic kids.  They really loved these alphabet pages and I hope that your kids have as well.

This week’s page is “Z is for Zaccaeus”. This coloring and writing page for Zaccaeus is perfect for the Bible ABC’s, but could also be used with a Bible lesson on Jesus or Zaccaeus.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the yoke color and write page….

Normally, every week, usually by Thursday, I post the newest alphabet color and write page. As I stated earlier though, our religious education year is over with, so I won’t be posting any more.  The series is complete!!  I’m looking forward to taking the time this summer though and make as many new and original printables as I can.  I hope that you’ll come back often to pick them up!!

Y is for Yoke

Today, I normally would have posted the FINAL page to our Bible Color and Write ABC’s, but we didn’t have class last week.  The weather was just horrible and I literally lost count at how many times the tornado sirens went off.  Next week is our final religious education class for this year and it’ll also be the final post for these pages.

This week’s page is “Y is for Yoke”. This coloring and writing page for yoke is perfect for the Bible ABC’s, but could also be used with a Bible lesson.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the yoke color and write page….

X is for (King) Xeres

Time is going so fast and it’s almost the end of the religious education year.  We have 3 more classes to go and 2 more letters of our Bible alphabet.  Amazing!!

This one is “X is for Xeres”.  This coloring and writing page for King Xeres is perfect for the Bible ABC’s, but could also be used with a lesson on Queen Esther or other Bible lesson.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the (King) Xeres page….

W is for Wise Men

It’s that time of the week and I’m here with my new Bible color and write ABC page!!

This one is “W is for Wise Men”. I absolutely love this page and the way hubby drew it.  He gave each one different head gear and clearly different gifts.   This page could also be used in a lesson for Christmas, Epiphany, or other religion lessons.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the wise men page….

V is for Vine

Back from Spring Break and although I expected to be able to post some new printable before now, I’m here with the newest Bible ABC page!!

This one is “V is for Vine”.  This page features a very full grape vine for them to color.  Vine can also be used in a lesson for names of Jesus and other Bible review lessons.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the vine page….

U is for Unleavened Bread

Another week and another color & write page for the Bible ABC’s.  I can’t believe that we don’t have many letter left this year!!

This one is “U is for Unleavened Bread”. This time, they get to color a round cake of unleavened bread and a stack of square pieces.  I hope that this page is not only good for you with the Bible alphabet, but also other lessons and reviews.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the unleavened bread sheet….

T is for Ten Commandments

I’m so happy because it just so happens that my Bible ABC page goes along with my lesson today!!

This one is “T is for Ten Commandments”. The children will color a picture of the stone tablets with roman numerals on them. This page would not only be good for the Bible alphabet, but other Bible lessons and reviews.

Here’s a thumbnail view of today’s page….

R is for Rainbow

I had to hurry through today’s color and write Bible alphabet page, but it’s ready to go!!

This week’s page is “R is for Rainbow”.  I can’t help but to love this page and the way hubby drew it!!  I like the hill and the way the rainbow meets the land, plus, I adore that little puff cloud.  This would be a great page to use with Noah also!!
