You asked
for it! And we listened! We kept
hearing, “When are you going to come out with another Coloring Creations
book? My kids love it!” So here it is: Coloring Creations 2: 52 New Bible
Activity Pages. Like its predecessor, Coloring Creations 2
looks like a coloring book, but it’s much more! It’s an activity page
book. Each reproducible coloring page is based on a Bible story and Scripture
verse, includes an activity to make the page 3-D, and even has an
age-appropriate discussion guide to help you make the activity life-applicable.
Each activity in this book is a chance for you to expand on a lesson, dig a
little deeper into the Bible, and teach a valuable lesson to your students. Perfect for those days when a lesson runs short or a
sermon runs long, Coloring Creations 2 offers new, creative…and fast…ideas
for your classroom. And let’s face it: kids love to color! Why not use their
natural preference to help kids grow closer to Jesus? Each activity is based on a Bible story, which makes this book a wonderful tool for any
children’s ministry leader. Simply locate the activity page in this book that
best accompanies the story you’re teaching and you’ve got an instant
enhancement for your lesson. Plus, kids will have a fun craft activity to take
home. Each page also emphasizes a Scripture verse, which leads to a discussion section focused on
life-application; the verses offer children a way to live out the lesson of the
Bible story. If children are discovering the story of Creation, they’ll learn
to care for the wonderful world God created. If they hear the story of Zacchaeus, they’ll
understand that knowing Jesus can change their lives. The pages in this book are reproducible, so the book belongs on your bookshelf where it can
be pulled out and used again and again—for years. Each coloring page is more than a coloring page: it’s a 3-D, multi-sensory, super-tactile creation!
Your kids will color the page…decorate it, cut it, fold it, paint it, and all
around change it. Each page is accompanied by instructions to help you turn pictures into 3-D masterpieces that
help kids learn and remember the Bible story and the Scripture verse. The
instructions are simple, the supplies general, and the process rewarding. Coloring Creations 2 can help you transform coloring time into teaching
time. With this book, coloring becomes more than busywork—it’s a chance to
engage your children in dialogue, to grow deeper relationships, and to teach
lasting Bible truths! Just use
the indexes to locate the activity page that best fits your lesson, make a copy
of the page for each child, gather the necessary supplies…and get started on an
activity that will help your children grow closer to God! Coloring Creations Kit Many of the coloring pages in
this book use basic supplies to transform the pages into craft projects kids
love. Take a few moments to gather the following supplies and place them in a
plastic box to use with this book. That way you’ll always have the right
supplies available at a moment's notice. Tuck these items in
your "Coloring Creations Kit": • craft glue • glue sticks • crayons • markers • colored pencils • transparent tape • scissors • safety scissors When
you see "Coloring Creations Kit" in a supply list, you'll know the
basic supplies are already gathered and ready to use! Allergy Alert! Some of the
projects in this book involve food. Be aware that some children have food
allergies that can be dangerous. Know your children, and consult with parents
about allergies their children may have. Also be sure to carefully read food
labels, as hidden ingredients can cause allergy-related problems. Choking Hazards! Be aware
that small objects can be choking hazards for younger children. Supervise
children as they work with small objects such as dry cereal and wiggly eyes. If
you have several young children in your class, you may want to substitute a
larger object for the craft.
