Content

Discover fresh ideas for Easter preparation and bring to life the New Testament accounts of the dramatic Easter story. Bring to life the Easter story with these imaginative craft ideas for using with your child, group or Key Stage 2 class. Craft ideas vary from the very simple to the more challenging, but the emphasis is strongly on using inexpensive materials and equipment, recycling and using domestic materials where possible. Children will experience the thrill of making something wonderful almost 'out of nothing'.

Each double page spread features a retelling of a Bible story, followed by instructions on how to make a project to bring the story to life. Cutting guides and photocopiable activity sheets are also included.

Craft ideas and activities include:

  • palm crosses and palm leaves
  • money lenders' scales
  • a perfume flask
  • silver coins and money bag
  • three tableaux of events from the Easter story
  • a silver cup and torches

Reviews

Chris Chesterton is children's work adviser for the diocese of Gloucester: A copy of Easter Make and Do arrived on my desk last week and it is so attractive, it makes you want to get straight in and try some of the ideas! It includes a set of fabulous Easter scenes. ...you will really want your own when you see it. And there is a similar Celebrations Make & Do book, also by Gillian Chapman.
