Love Bible Minibook for Kids

January 14, 2018 By Valerie Mcclintick 3 Comments

It’s almost one month before Valentine’s Day and today I’ve got a special Bible Verse minibook based on LOVE! This printable book is based off of 1 Corinthians 13, and shows children the character quality of LOVE in action.

Print LOVE Book Here

Printing & Assembly: This printable book is available in color or black and white and is intended to be printed on both sides of the paper. Be sure to choose double-sided, flip on the short edge in your printer settings. If you print with color be sure to use cardstock paper as the color bleeds through. Once printed, fold the booklet in half, and in half again (so that the cover is correct). You can then cut the page apart or trim the top, then staple together. (Don’t worry if that is too confusing you can just cut apart the pages, place them in order and staple together.)

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to share God’s love with children. Many times we use the word LOVE but children might not know more than a couple tangible ways to show love to one another. Yes, we give hugs and kisses and we treat each other with kindness, but did you know Love is always Truthful? Love is Patient! Love Forgives, Love Protects, Love Perseveres…..etc.

Today I’ve put together a simple set of printable cards you can use this February to teach your little ones the characteristics of love. Here are ways you can use this sheet:

Jesus Loves Me Coloring Page

While I have been SUPER busy updating our website here, I haven’t forgotten completley about the coming holiday weekend.

If you’re a newsletter subscribers you’ve already received this huge list of Valentine Bible Printables, Crafts and Teaching Resources, but this one today is something NEW!

Jesus Loves Me Coloring Page

I recently found some adorable heart graphics at The Learning Tree and I knew they would be perfect coloring for little hands. They are nice and thick (i.e. forgving) and they have tons of patterns (i.e. children can use tons of different colors) so they are sure to keep your little ones happy and busy this week. I added in the text “Jesus Loves Me” and thought that this might make a great Valentine’s Day place mat craft if you glued it to construction paper or laminated it when your child was done. Either way, just print and color…..it couldn’t be simpler!

Love Bible Verses for Children

February 6, 2012 By Valerie Mcclintick 17 Comments

Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to share God’s love with children!
We’ve got some fantastic Preschool resources for you to use this year,
and now we’ve got a few activities for you your older kiddos as well.

Valentine’s Day Bible Activity Pack

This Valentine’s Day teach children the TRUE meaning of the word LOVE! This Bible-based, Christian Activity Pack includes 30 pages of multi-age activities, games, crafts and more. Designed to be low-prep and hands-on to keep little hearts and minds engaged.

Click Here

Today I wanted to highlight how to use one of our new Valentine’s Day resources:

This little printable craft would be a great way for children to learn some
bible verses on love.

For each child you’ll need to print up the envelope
(on cardstock for best results)

The outside of the envelope reads,
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11

This is a very important verse, as children grow they must learn
that what is hidden in their heart is what comes out during times of trial.
( i.e. LIFE )

Once assembled you’ll see that the back of the envelope
contains eight different scriptures for children to memorize
as well as a little space to check off each verse.

These verses coorespond with a set of printable bible hearts, (page 1 page 2)

These are black and white verses, so you can print them onto colored paper
(yea for saving ink!)

Now, of course you can use these HOWEVER you like
Maybe handing out a full set to your students to take home,
Printing on cardstock and attaching to a lollipop, or even
Just using them to add to Valentine’s day cards and crafts.
(we’ve even got a few more printables to help with that)

But I would suggest that you actively use them
to help children commit these verses to memory.

Then as a child successfully recites each verse,
you give them the corresponding heart to put into their pocket.

(Thus, the verses in the pocket represent the verses they have hidden in their heart)

Maybe you do one or two each year…maybe the entire set…
Maybe you just keep this as a special teaching tool you pull out every Valentine’s Day.

Whatever you do with them don’t use them as a
“Hey! Look another thing I started but never finished” tool.

You know that guilt inducing tool we homeschool mom’s are so familiar with

Just have fun with it!
And if it overwhelms you Pin it and we’ll know that you’re “virtually doing it”

Valentine’s Day Card Craft

January 26, 2012 By Valerie Mcclintick 8 Comments

Don’t you just LOVE Pinterest?

I love that you can follow people and see THEIR pins,
and then “repin” it to your own boards.

A virtual “To-Do” cork board of that never runs out of space!

Anyway, this week I saw these adorable Secret Valentines,
and I was inspired to make our own version:

These would be super simple for even very young children to make.

First print up the template and have them color in the cross with a white crayon.

Just to see how it worked, I did one with crayon and one with oil pastel

Then you just make stripes across your paper.
All the while using language like “long strokes” “blending” “overlapping”
(You get the picture right?)

Fill up those hearts till their full of color!
(idea: Maybe use the salvation colors too)

Cut and trim away the extra paper.
Have children pastes these to a card or write a message or bible verse on the back. I’m sure these would look wonderful glued to those little paper heart doilies you can get at the Dollar Store!

If you want to make your own, I’ve posted the template on our sister site ChristianPreschoolPrintables.com. There is a BW & Color version.

Valentine Trees…or Spring Trees…

February 14, 2010 By Valerie Mcclintick 2 Comments

Okay, so I’m not really sure what category these little guys are going to fall under, because we made them with rose petals in the shape of hearts…and they look like Spring trees, but Valentine’s Day is not exactly in Spring per-se’ …..so for now we’re just calling them Valentine Trees.

Whatever.

They’re really easy, and they are like a keepsake because you can use them with your children’s handprints…..(Imagine a full bulletin board of these!) I got the Rose Petals at the Dollar Tree.

Here’s the Scoop:

And in other “Lovey News”

there is a little girl out there who will be recieving 10 inches of the most beautiful brown hair I’ve ever seen (Okay I’m partial).
Sissy (6) eventually convinced me to let her cut her hair to chin length, and while I’m partial to long hair on little girls, It was the “No-Tangles” argument that finally won me over and sealed the deal. (Serious, I’m not the only one that gets screamed at during hair brushing time am I?)
