We modified this lesson for the Art Station of our rotation on the Bible. We could not find all of the beads that were mentioned in the lesson--and even if we could, it probably would have been more expensive than we wanted for an art rotation. So we used stickers instead of beads. We cut out bookmark-sized pieces of card stock; here are some ideas for stickers—although I’m sure you could come up with plenty more:

• Pentateuch (first 5 books)—flower (beginnings, creation) or stone tablets/judge’s gavel (law)
• OT history—scroll or book
• Wisdom—music note
• Prophets—an ear (listening to God)
• Gospels—cross
• Acts/NT History—flame (Pentecost) or dove
• Letters—pencil or crayon or other writing implement
• Prophecy—heart
• Jesus Sticker—the whole purpose of the Bible is to point us to Jesus

Then we ran the book marks through a laminator (or you could use clear contact paper). I did like the idea of the ribbons and strings though, so we punched a hole in the top of the bookmark. We threaded through 3 pieces of plastic lace with beads to represent the 3 parts of the trinity: Heart for God the Father, cross for Jesus, oval with “Believe” for the Spirit.
