Craft Activities for Children: “God is My Refuge and My Fortress” Safe Beneath His Wings (Psalm 91:3-4)

Craft Activities for Children Psalm 91 Safe Beneath His Wings 

 The book of Psalms is full of important and comforting reminders of God’s love and presence. These crafts focus on Psalm 91, which tells us that God protects and provides for us, no matter what threats come our way. A “Faithful Protection Shield” recounts that He shields us with His love. A “Under His Wings Bird” puppet reminds us that He guards us as a bird guards her chicks. Let’s Get Crafty!

Bible Verses or Captions to Consider… (Psalm 91:1-16)

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
    and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his pinions,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. -Psalm 91:3-4
