Paper Plate Bible Crafts

Paper Plate Bible Crafts is a great resource for fun crafts that teach Bible stories in any setting. Fast, inexpensive and readily available, paper plates easily become masks, mobiles, puppets and plaques. The finished crafts are an ingenious way to reinforce Bible stories and themes. The book includes 58 tried-and-tested ideas for 5–7-year-olds, each with simple templates and easy-to-follow instructions. Alongside the paper plate, each craft uses basic, everyday materials such as card, felt-tipped pens, scissors and glue and can be completed as suggested or adapted to suit the needs and skills of the children. Each idea includes: key Bible story reference; full equipment list; easy-to-follow instructions; simple discussion starters; alternative ideas for making the craft; illustration of the finished craft.

A fantastic resource, full of cheap, easy and fun ideas. I never realised paper plates were quite so versatile!

This is a reissued title, originally published in October 2012.

From The Good Bookstall - July 2010 You might have thought you knew plenty of things to make out of a paper plate but this book will prove to you that you hadn't thought of everything! This is a wide collection of ideas ranging from sheep to musical instruments, clocks to doves and advent wreaths to woven crosses. There is an index of Biblical references at the back as well as thematic contents at the front. Each craft is nicely illustrated in black and white. The instructions are clearly and simply written and each one includes a way of talking about the Christian theme and also 'other ideas' and ways of adapting the craft. Obviously this book needs to be part of a wider collection. No children's group will want to use paper plates for every craft but it is a fantastic resource, full of cheap, easy and fun ideas. I never realised paper plates were quite so versatile! Reviewed by Kathy Bland
