Bible Origami Summary

Keep your children’s hands busy during church services with Bible Origami. Instead of folding the service programs into paper airplanes, they can fold Noah’s ark, an oil lamp, or Joseph’s coat!

Bible Origami Review
Bible Origami is a fun little project book for those who enjoy the art of paper crafting—or who want to learn it. This book contains 24 different origami projects that all relate to different Bible stories or topics. Each project is illustrated with clear, step-by-step directions. Each project is also clearly labeled with the suggested skill level, which range from beginning to intermediate. There are also little snippets of related Bible trivia accompanying each page.
Since I don’t have any little kids to test it out, when my college students came home for the holiday, I gave them the book and a stack of origami paper (origami paper is fun and nice for these projects, but not essential), and put them to work.
One found the projects to be quick and simple (good for keeping kids quietly occupied during church services); the other is, unfortunately like her mother, and apparently a bit craft-impaired. It took her two or three tries to get some of the projects looking like the diagrams. Both found it enjoyable and said they would definitely use it in Sunday School or other lessons for younger children as both a teaching aid and reinforcement activity. They also thought some of their babysitting clients might enjoy Bible Origami.
