Hi, I don’t think these are good vacation BIBLE crafts. Most of these crafts do not speak of Christ content in and of themselves. Even if making paper fish can be construed as an asset to a Biblical story or concept, how do UFOs pertain to vacation Bible study? If salt has lost it its flavor, what good is it? Please don’t water down the gospel for children.
Responding to Tabitha’s comment: These crafts are FREE and they are nice ideas that we, as Sunday School Teachers can incorporate into our lessons. It is up to each teacher to add to these crafts any additional things (ex. scripture, WWJD, etc.) to pertain to the lesson taught. As far as the fish craft: There are many Bible stories that include fish. (“I will make you fishers of men”, Jesus telling Simon & the fishermen to cast their nets over the other side of the boat, etc.)
Please don’t write negative comments about this website: it’s there to help! And it’s Free! I think this is a terrific website!
