Christian Kid's Music Crafts:

Let's Make A Joyful Noise!

These homemade Christian kid's music instruments are not just tons of fun. These musical crafts are here to help you instill a heart of thankfulness and praise in your children!

Praise and worship is a very important part of any Christian's spiritual walk. Often, it is during our special time praising the Lord that we feel His presence for the very first time.

Give your children that special experience through these Christian kid's music crafts. Since you probably have all of these materials right at home, you can do all of them for free!

Wondering why you should consider using these Christian kid's music crafts to teach your kids the heart of praise and worship?

Watching you praise the Lord during the week sets a great example of a healthy relationship with God for your kids.

When you make praising God fun, your children will grow up loving their time with the Lord, instead of resenting it as we are starting to see more and more.

Crafts give you a chance to create something one-on-one with your children. If you have more than one small child, that is even better!

All of these instruments can be saved and used over and over, adding a special boost to your kid's praise time.

Creating a regular praise time in your home shows your child that you put a priority on worshiping God, and helps them to do the same!
