One way to help children learn Old Testament stories with “Come, Follow Me” is to create something related to the story or principle they are learning.
The Church’s Gospel for Kids YouTube channel includes “Come Create With Me” videos designed for just that — teaching children how to build or draw something from “Come, Follow Me.”
Below are five “Come Create With Me” videos related to Old Testament stories. Subscribe to the Gospel for Kids YouTube Channel for more. New videos are added frequently.
1. How to Draw a Temple
Learn how to draw a mountaintop and temple of the Lord — like the place Isaiah speaks of in his prophecy of the latter days.
2. How to Make Job With Rock Art
In this video, Patti Rokus, the rock artist, arranges stones into shapes that resemble pets and relates love for pets to the story of Job while also teaching about trusting God.
3. How to Draw Esther’s Crown
