Love is in the air with Valentine's Day Bible crafts.
The Scriptures say a lot about love. It talks about how God loves us and how we should treat our neighbor.
Whether you are teaching a lesson on 1 Corinthians 13 or Sunday just happens to fall on February 14 your kids will like doing these projects.
A cute puppy, kittens, and chocolate. Ahem, well no, in the Bible 1 Corinthians chapter 13 tell us what love is.
Cut out fifteen hearts from construction paper. You can use the heart shape on the PDF.
On each heart write what love is from 1 Corinthians 13:4- 8.
Cut out a cross that measures 3 3/4 by 1/2 inches. The arms are 3 1/2 by 1/2 inches. Write 1 Corinthians 13 on the arm piece. You will want the “o” in the center. Write L above the o. Write v, e below so you can spell love.
Glue the bottom point of the heart to the rim of the paper plate. Fourteen hearts will fit around the rim. They will overlap some.
Glue the cross to the center of the paper plate. Glue the last heart above the cross.
We all could use a reminder that we need to love one another.

Cut the heart out.
Make another heart with red paper and put it behind the pink one. Glue to the white heart.
If you want, add features to the men.
The first part of John 3:16 says, “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son” Here is a Valentine's Day Bible craft that will remind you of the verse.
