  Christian crafts help reinforce Biblical lessons and principles to kindergarteners, but many parents and teachers are unsure of how to make them. Kindergarten crafts come in different themes and difficulty levels, yet they are amusing enough to appeal to fun-loving children. Whether you need multiple craft ideas for a Vacation Bible School or a homeschool lesson, kindergarten crafts are ideal for downtime.
  
  

Peek-A-Boo Door

• Teach your kids to make a peek-a-boo door craft to reinforce a lesson on God’s love. Start this craft by having kindergarteners color a self-portrait on construction paper. Before kids arrive, write “Guess Who God Loves” on a large pink or red foam heart. You will need one heart for each kid. Staple the top of the heart to the construction paper. Kids can pick up the heart and use it as a peek-a-boo door. This craft demonstrates to children that God loves them individually.
  
  

Noah’s Rainbow

• Prepare for this class by cutting up tissue paper into small squares. You will need blue, purple, red, orange, yellow and green tissue squares, about 1 inch wide. It might be a good idea to put the colors in different bowls. Print blank rainbows before the kids arrive or allow them to draw their own rainbows on construction paper. Using white glue, kindergarteners should glue tissue paper squares to color their rainbows. This craft helps little ones develop their fine motor skills and reminds them of God's promise to Noah.
  
  

Fishes and Loaves

• According to a New Testament Bible story, a little boy gave his lunch to share with 5,000 people. The lunch was made of fish and bread. Teach children the importance of sharing with others by showing them how to make their own fishes and loaves. Before class, gather small strawberry baskets that the kids can use for food. Distribute sheets of paper with fishes and bread loaves printed on them. After the kindergarteners color the items, they can cut them out with safety scissors. Kids then put their fishes and loaves in their baskets. Large pipe cleaners make good handles for their food baskets. Give kids some play time so they can share their fish by placing some in other children's baskets. Place kids in a circle on the floor and teach them to pass the fake foods around to their classmates or friends. This activity illustrates sharing.
