If your kids are anything like mine, then getting them to sit still and listen to a Bible story for more than 3 minutes might prove a challenge.
These Noah’s Ark crafts for kids are perfect for those littles who like to make and do things instead of sitting still and listening quietly. Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners.
A lot of these crafts are great for older kids too, who can do more of the steps on their own.
Turning Bible stories into crafts also provides a great opportunity to talk about a story from the Bible and make it interesting and memorable for our kids.
