Crafts For Christian Values

“Values” is an abstract word that is expected to be practiced in a very concrete way. And so, best-selling crafts author Kathy Ross offers some hands-on projects that help children translate values concepts into action. Among the clearly described and beautifully illustrated projects are a stable to keep track of church attendance, a gratitude jar to help record and remember the kindness of others, and a mustard seed necklace as a reminder of the power of faith.

From best-selling crafts expert and Sunday school teacher Kathy Ross, these simple projects offer spectacular results. Activities include a Loving Heart Beanbag and a Forgiveness Bracelet. A bible verse is cited for each craft, thus linking hands-on activity to Christian values.
