The activity allows children to engage with the stories in a hands-on way, which can help to make them more relatable and memorable. Here are some tips for using paint by number to illustrate Bible stories with children:

  1. Read the story. Before beginning the painting, read the story from the Bible with your child. This will help to familiarize them with the story and the characters.
  2. Begin painting. Follow the instructions and numbered chart provided in the paint by number kit to complete the painting. Encourage your child to take their time and enjoy the process.
  3. Discuss the story. As you paint, discuss the story with your child. Ask them questions about the characters and their actions, and help them to make connections between the story and their own lives.
  4. Display the painting. Once the painting is complete, display it in a prominent place where your child can see it and be reminded of the story.
  5. Repeat the process. Repeat this process with other Bible stories to continue to teach your child about scripture.
