Agamographs, or fan fold crafts, are a fun type of art that display one picture when you view it from one direction and a different picture when you view it from the other direction. I love this type of craft for Bible stories because it can show the stark difference between two scenes. Kids also think agamographs are fun to make and show off. I have created 5 Bible story fan fold crafts as printable templates.
Watch the video to see how easy the crafts are to fold.
TWO VERSIONS
There are two ways to make the fan fold crafts, depending on your preference.
1) One Page - just color and fold back and forth on the gray lines (can be a challenge to color because the pictures are split up)
2) Two Page - color the pictures then cut and paste on the template, alternating panels from each picture. (easier to color but involves cutting and pasting)
Here are the 5 Bible fan fold crafts I have created so far. Two from the New Testament and three from the Old Testament.
