Teaching the story of Cain and Abel to kids can be both engaging and educational when using an interactive Cain and Abel spinner craft, like the one we created.
Great to use with preschoolers and older kids at home or Sunday school, this hands-on activity helps children visualize and remember the bible story.
The craft makes learning the story engaging and interactive, allowing kids to turn the wheel and see different scenes, enhancing their understanding of the narrative and its lessons.
The spinner is divided into four sections, each illustrating a key moment from the story:
- Cain and his crops: Cain stands next to a field of crops, showing him as a farmer.
- Cain’s offering: Cain holds a basket of fruits or vegetables, symbolizing his offering to God.
- Abel and his sheep: A third section features Abel standing next to a flock of sheep, showing him as a shepherd.
- Abel’s offering: The final section illustrates Abel holding a lamb, representing his offering to God.
The title “CAIN AND ABEL” and “GENESIS 4” are displayed at the top of the cover in large letters for kids to color.
