Exploring the tabernacle, a significant element in biblical history, is made both fun and memorable with a detailed lapbook designed for children ages 7-12. This resource offers an interactive way for kids to dive into the history and theology of the tabernacle while fostering creativity and curiosity.

The printable includes a variety of activities, such as minibooks, timelines, maps, and copywork, all centered around the tabernacle’s role in the Old Testament. Each component is thoughtfully crafted to help children explore topics like the geography of the Exodus, key biblical figures, and the symbolism of the tabernacle in God’s plan for worship and salvation.

The lapbook also incorporates Bible verses from Exodus, John, and Hebrews, helping kids connect the story to Scripture and understand its importance in Christian theology.

This lapbook isn’t just an art project—it’s a way to deepen kids’ understanding of history and faith. As they assemble layered books, matchbooks, and 3-D banners, they’ll absorb concepts about worship in the Old Testament and how it points to the New Covenant.

These activities encourage them to think critically about themes like sin, redemption, and God’s presence among His people. Additionally, learning about the feasts and worship practices of the Israelites can help children draw connections between the past and how Christians worship today.

This project also offers opportunities for parents and kids to learn together. Parents can guide discussions about the tabernacle’s meaning while kids work on the lapbook, creating a shared learning experience. It’s a great resource for homeschooling families or anyone seeking to provide children with a deeper understanding of biblical history in a creative and structured way. With its engaging activities and clear biblical connections, this lapbook is a tool that helps kids not only learn about the tabernacle but also see God’s greater plan throughout history.
