Craft is a gateway to story 

Crafts are a beautifully visual and tactile way to help a story stick (literally and metaphorically). You don’t need to be the next Picasso or have the world’s best idea – that’s what Pinterest is for! Craft can bring the pages in a book to life, helping children to explore characters and events in a playful way that contributes to their understanding, learning and development. Craft can deepen the personal connection between a child and the Bible story. 

Craft is a gateway to conversation 

Children and grownups alike talk more openly when their hands are busy. When I taught as a nursery teacher, I had many conversations with children whilst they were engrossed in craft. When talking with a child about a Bible story, relate it to their own experiences, such as their family, home or favourite toy. e.g. “Who do you love? (Mummy/Daddy/Grandpa etc.) Did you know we have a heavenly Father, Daddy God, who loves us too?” Conversations are so important, and craft can spark ‘lightbulb’ moments in a child’s faith journey (and so can play time, snack time, and take-home activities!)

Crafts help stories stick because children explore characters and events in playful ways. They're connecting with the Bible stories in ways that encourage understanding, learning, and development. They're also more likely to talk openly when their hands are busy crafting, allowing time for discussing the stories and relating them to their own experiences. This helps them grow in their faith.
