Kid-friendly, imaginative crafts

Kathy Ross helps fill in the gap for Sunday School teachers. Sometimes our church cirriculum falls short on craft ideas. Kathy has shared her creativity for craft fun for kids and teachers alike. As a first-grade Sunday School teacher, I look forward to having her books in our Sunday School resource room and to see new craft books in the future!

Another great craft book from Kathy Ross!!!

Kathy has done it again! Wonderful, creative ideas throughout! My daughter really enjoyed working on these projects and I'm sure your kids will too!! My daughter and I love getting her books and have spent many weekends working together on these creative projects. Kids learn while they work on the crafts, too. We find the projects are often the stepping-off point for discussions about the bible stories. Kudos to the author for yet another job well done!!

A wonderfully imaginative book!

I bought this book and thought it was great. My church is using it in their Sunday School. The ideas are so fun and clever. Thanks to Kathy Ross for another wonderful craft book!

This book is indeed worth buying!

After using her craft books for some time now, I know that Kathy Ross does not use standard craft techniques. She creatively crafts with throw-away materials, which makes her crafts very easy on the budget. My Sunday school class loved making the sock puppet of Jonah sticking out of the mouth of a paperbag whale, as shown on the cover of this book. We also did the mitten puppet of Sarah and baby Isaac, where the thumb of the mitten becomes the craddled baby. I found the projects in this book to be both easy and charming. After taking this book from the library, I had to have my own copy of the entire Christian Craft series for my Sunday school classes.Thank you Kathy Ross ~ you are a most creative author! Please keep writing and creating! There are many of us that can hardly wait for your next book!

Wonderful Crafts that Everyone can Make!

As the managing editor of the popular online craft and family magazine Families-First I had the pleasure of reading Kathy Ross' terrific book Crafts from your Favorite Bible Stories. I also had the chance to interview Ms. Ross. Kathy's book is fabulous for families, schools, and churches. She does an exceptional job in helping children learn about the Bible and remembering the stories through her crafts. Families-First has a Craft of the Week every week and when we feature one of Kathy's crafts it is a huge hit! We have heard from hundreds of teachers, parents, and kids who love all of her craft books, but especially enjoy Crafts from your Favorite Bible Stories!
