Bible craft about the Prodigal son for older kids?
I have tried searching the internet and all my books! I need a Craft for 8 -9 yr olds about the prodigal son. They are to old for the piggy crafts, and the ones about the food. Any ideas? Thanks so much

Honestly, if you have a food craft possibility it may not be “too young” for them. Food goes at any and all age, just be careful with possible allergies. When I did activities for our youth group (high school students), anything involving food (no matter how childish) was a big hit!
Usually the story of the prodigal son is only looked at to teach a lesson about the prodigal. The prodigal had an older brother, and there are important lessons to learn with him too.
Have you thought about having them act out the story? Maybe you could start by having them make small props? Making their own “flannel board” story could be fun too!
How bout an overnight retreat where they don’t get anything to eat and learn hunger. There used to be a Campus Crusade curriculum called make it growl. Or how bout getting them dirty and not letting them get clean. I know it more than an hour. But it would be something that makes them feel the reality.
