Christian Ten Commandments Crafts for Children

The Ten Commandments are important for all children to learn. While it may be hard for younger children to learn every verse, creating a craft is a fun way to memorize them.

Ten Commandments Train

Create a train with ten boxcars. Use shoe boxes or small boxes to represent a boxcar, and tie them together with string or yarn. Have children write one commandment on each box. Then they can decorate it with paper, paint, glitter, or any other colorful materials.

Ten Commandments Memory Card Game

Create two cards for each commandment. Decorate the cards with markers, crayons, glitter, or paint. Let them dry, and then use the cards as a memory game.

Ten Commandment Magnets

Purchase magnets that children can cut and glue to the backs of their cards. Get some heavy paper or light poster-board to cut out ten cards. Create a card for each verse. Let children decorate and color them. Then glue a piece of magnet behind the card. Kids can place these on their refrigerators at home.

Ten Commandments Jewelry

Purchase some clay that can be baked in an oven at home. Shape some clay in a big circle or rectangle. Carve one of the commandments into the clay. Bake the piece of clay so that it hardens. Then add colored beads to make a necklace or bracelet. Make a piece of jewelry for each commandment to share with friends.

Ten Commandments T-Shirts

Have somebody volunteer to make a Ten Commandments logo to iron onto kid's T-shirts. Once they have all been printed and ironed, let the children decorate their shirts with paint or tie-dye. Add glitter, or other designs. You also could have the children sign their names to each other's' shirts.
