Religious Crafts and Activities for Kids

Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Sharing with you some religious crafts we did to go along with our study of Religions in Asia.

Hinduism

Hindus offer garlands to God and to their guests as a sign of welcome. Our garland was made of tissue paper and I used a thread to tie them up all together to form a garland.

Mavi decorated his hand. This is a Hindu tradition wherein a Hindu bride would decorate its hand with a red dye called mehndi on her wedding day.

Christianity

One of the poignant moment in Christianity is the death of Jesus Christ. So here, we made Mount Cavalry using paper plates and paint and added three crosses. This is where Jesus died with two other outlaws.

Islam

We made prayer rug used by the Muslims when they worship Allah. Instead of making a stunning and complicated design which Muslim craftspeople are known of, we just weaved our rug using cardstock.

Seen below, Mavi demonstrates how it is used.

Using Legos, we made a model of a Muslim mosque. We used a styro paper cup and top it with a crescent symbol for the dome. to signify an Islam mosque. Mavi loved this one the most!
