Every child is creative, but each age expresses that creativity in different ways. Our Art by Age guide helps you choose the right Bible art lessons and creative activities for your child’s developmental stage—so learning feels joyful, meaningful, and successful. Whether you’re teaching preschoolers with simple shapes or older kids who are ready for detailed art techniques, this guide makes it easy to find projects designed for their age, ability, and confidence level. Looking for Scripture-centered projects? Explore our Bible Art Lessons for Kids.
In our Art classes, we teach the same lessons to 4 year olds and adults. We love seeing the creativity at every age and how they apply it to each art project. The results will vary depending on skill level, but both young and old can be inspired by one another.
