Craft to Create Prayer Booklet

When I was a young girl, my great aunts "the nuns" (4 of them) would come to our church and do the Vacation Bible School in the summer. I loved to help them.  They were so talented.  One of the things that I really liked was creating prayer booklets.

I took their idea and used it for our Little Flower's Girls Club project and for VBS a few times.

It is a fairly easy concept. Pick your prayers, pick your colors, get prayer cards, print a few things and put it all together.

I used the prayer / holy cards as the images and typed and printed the prayers to go with them.

Take a few sheets of colored paper. Fold them together in half. On the top of the fold side, punch 3 holes. Have the children use yarn or ribbon to put them together. Remember that every sheet of paper is FOUR pages,

Plan out you prayers so you don't have too many pages to the booklet.

This one was for our Little Flowers, so that is what we named it.

For VBS, we just used the basic prayers that every child should learn. 

Sign of the Cross

Glory Be

Lord's Prayer "Our Father"

Hail Mary

Grace Before Meals

Guardian Angel Prayer

Apostle's Creed

Act of Contrition

and you can add the 

Acts of Faith, Hope and Charity 

Glue works best, but if you don't have time to dry - use glue dots.

Hint - Have the pieces of prayers cut out for them with a paper cutter before you start.

Let them assemble and tie the yarn or ribbon.
