Celebrations Make and Do

Content

Festivals are times to remember and to celebrate. Bring to life the Christian festivals with these imaginative craft ideas for using with your child, group or Key Stage 2 class. Discover the background to the major Christian festivals by looking at Bible stories from the Old and the New Testament. 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.

Festivals include:

• Advent
• Epiphany
• Candlemas
• Lent
• Holy Week
• Easter
• Ascension Day
• Pentecost
• Trinity Sunday
• Harvest
• All Saints
