Felt Bible Bookmarks
Here is a quick and inexpensive craft for Sunday school, VBS, or midweek gatherings. Use printed or solid felt to make Bible bookmarks. It appeals to younger kids and tweens. They can use them as gifts or keep to use themselves.
Zonderkidz is publishing two devotional books for tweens (for girls: Just Sayin' - 90 ways to rock your faith and for boys: Dare U 2 Open This Book - 90 ways to rock your faith). I have the awesome responsibility of writing the devos. So I am having a little race to promote the books.
What is a doodle?
Think simple drawing - not fancy : )
Who can enter? Ages 9 - 100
The race will have TWO winners. Yep. You could be one of the winners. BUT you have to enter a doodle to be in the race. Just sayin'. . .

Materials
- felt (Pre-packaged felt increases the choices and cost, but it is easier for kids to cut into bookmarks.)
- scissors
- pencil
- ruler
How To
- Use the ruler to mark a two inch line across the width of the felt.
- Cut the bookmark.
- Cut fringe along both ends.

Materials
- A beginning reader Bible story verse (from a children's Bible or Sunday School material)
- Colorful index cards
- A marker to print easy-to-see words
Preparation
- Print each word from the verse two times (once on each of the colors).
Play the Game
- Arrange one set of cards on the table in order.
- Have the kids take turns arranging the second set of cards to match the first set.
- Then, have them read the verse to you.
Other Options
- Keep the card sets for future review. Have them available at a "station" for kids to practice the verse during later meeting times.
- Give the sets of cards (in a scrambled order) to two different kids. Have a race to see who can arrange their cards first.

RED - Jesus gave his precious blood to pay for our sins.
BLACK - Our sins (think mistakes) are dark and separate us from God.
WHITE - Our sins are washed white as snow once we trust Jesus as Savior.
PURPLE - Jesus' followers were so sad when he died.
