Creating Your Books of the Bible Craft

1) Print Your Books of the Bible Bookshelf Crafts and Cut Out the Shelves

Print each page on a different color of cardstock–you’ll need seven. You’ll want two pieces of cardstock for the background pieces too.

2) Glue Your Shelves to a Blank Piece of Cardstock

This will create your bookshelves.

On the Old Testament bookshelf, in order your shelves will be:

Law / History
Poetry / Major Prophets
Minor Prophets

On your New Testament bookshelf, in order your shelves will be:

Gospels / History
Pauline Epistles
General Epistles / Prophecy

3) Cut Out Your Books of the Bible

Cut out each book of the Bible. You can choose to work on one section at a time as an ongoing project, or you can cut them all out at once. You can also make it a puzzle for your kids as they figure out where each book of the Bible goes on the bookshelves.

4) Glue Your Books of the Bible onto the Bookshelf

Your child can glue the books of the Bible onto each shelf as they read it, or they can work on a section at a time. You may want to spend a few days working on this project if you’ve decided to do it all at once.

You did it! Consider framing your child’s Books of the Bible craft and put your child’s work somewhere special and talk about each book of the Bible on a regular basis.
