Harvest Email Sept

A true montage of ideas for church and school with 30 inspiring projects, covering 7 Bible stories. Let children explore the Bible in a fun and captivating way with Colour, Make and Doodle. A comprehensive resource packed full of ideas, activities and stories, providing hours of creative fun while complementing the teaching of Christian Religious Education in primary schools and church groups. Bound with sumptuously thick matt pages and full of vibrant yet inexpensive projects this is a real treat for young crafters! The idea for this series came from Sarah's inability to find anything like it on the market. She wanted colouring pictures, doodle pages and word searches, all mixed together with a great selection of craft ideas to help teach Bible stories to children. Inspired by her work both as a volunteer helper with primary schools and as a craft activities co-ordinator for 'Seedlings'(an informal lay-led service for pre-schoolers), both books have been tried and tested!
