Encouragement, education, and faith—one post at a time.
"What you do today matters — not just in this moment, but tomorrow, next week, next year, and even five years from now… because every seed you plant in a child’s heart grows into something eternal."

Welcome to Crafty Teacher Designs!
Biblical Learning. Bright Ideas. Big Impact.
Hey friend! 👋 I’m Becky Godfrey — the hands and heart behind Crafty Teacher Designs, and I’m so excited you’re here!
After over 10 years in childcare, homeschool, and early childhood education, I’ve come to believe something with all my heart: children are wired to wonder. From the very beginning — yes, even from birth to age 8 — their minds and hearts are soaking up everything around them. And when we fill their days with God’s Word, hands-on learning, and loving relationships, we plant seeds that last a lifetime. 🌱
That’s why I started Crafty Teacher Designs — to serve educators, homeschool families, churches, and co-ops with Bible-based, ready-to-use resources that are rooted in child development, playful learning, and God’s truth (always in KJV unless otherwise noted ✝️).
What You’ll Find Here 🖍️📚
✔️ Faith-Filled Curriculum — For homeschool, co-op, church, and classroom use
✔️ VBS Kits — With crafts, lessons, decorations, and take-home resources
✔️ Editable Flyers — For everything from church nursery schedules to STEM nights
✔️ Bible Memory Verse Cards, STEM Challenges, and Seasonal Fun
✔️ Always created in Canva Pro, designed to be bright, colorful, and easy to use!
Why Birth to Age 8?
Because those are the most foundational years of a child’s life. As someone with degrees in Early Childhood and Holistic Child Development (and working toward a doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction), I’ve spent years observing, designing, and praying over what really helps little learners thrive.
And let’s be honest — our littles need more than just “busy work.” They need purpose. They need God’s truth. They need YOU — equipped, encouraged, and supported. 💛
Let’s Stay Connected!
This blog will be full of tips, encouragement, freebies, product spotlights, and affiliate links for some of my favorite Christian learning tools (hello, Christianbook.com friends 🙌). I’ll also be sharing how to use your Canva Pro account to make the most of my templates.
