The Christmas season is a wonderful time to celebrate the birth of Jesus with your children, reminding them of the true reason behind all the festivities. Whether you’re a parent, youth leader, or Sunday school teacher, finding meaningful activities that combine fun and faith can enrich the Christmas experience for children and help them understand the significance of Jesus’ birth. In this blog post, we’ll explore a range of exciting and faith-filled activities designed to celebrate Jesus’ birthday and make the Christmas season more memorable.

The Birth of Jesus: A Celebration of God’s Greatest Gift

Before diving into the activities, let’s take a moment to reflect on the heart of the Christmas story. Over 2,000 years ago in a little town called Bethlehem, the greatest gift the world had ever known was born—Jesus, the Son of God. Christ’s birth marked the fulfillment of ancient prophecies, bringing hope, peace, and salvation to humanity.

In the hustle and bustle of modern Christmas celebrations, it can be easy to lose sight of this miraculous event. That’s why celebrating Jesus’ birthday can be a meaningful tradition for families, churches, and classrooms. By focusing on the birth of Jesus, children can learn the true meaning of Christmas and why it’s more than just presents under the tree—it’s about the ultimate gift of love that God gave us through His Son.

What are Kids’ Activities Ideas for the Birth of Jesus?

In addition to the crafts we’ll be exploring from our Happy Birthday Jesus Activity Set, there are many other exciting ways to engage children and make the birth of Jesus a central part of your holiday traditions. These activities range from creative crafts to fun songs, all designed to bring the Nativity story to life and help children connect with Jesus during the Christmas season.

1. Nativity Scene Play

Create a simple Nativity play with the kids in your family or Sunday school class. Assign roles like Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, and the wise men, and reenact the story of Jesus’ birth. This activity not only helps children understand the biblical narrative but also encourages them to step into the roles of key figures in the story. Kids love dressing up and acting out the story, and it’s a wonderful way to engage their imaginations while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas.

2. Nativity-Themed Games

Games are a great way to get kids excited about learning! Try playing a game of Pin the Star Over Bethlehem, where children take turns trying to place a star sticker or cutout on a Nativity scene. You could also create a Christmas scavenger hunt where kids search for items related to the Nativity story (like a manger, a baby doll, and a star). These games add a layer of fun while reinforcing the key elements of the birth of Jesus.

3. Christmas Carols about Jesus

Singing is a fun way to celebrate Jesus’ birth! Gather a list of Christmas carols that specifically focus on the birth of Christ, like “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night,” and “Joy to the World.” Incorporating carols into your celebration can help children focus on Jesus Christ and understand the joy His birth brings. Consider organizing a Christmas carol sing-along with your family or church group as a way to celebrate the season.

4. Storytime with the Nativity

Set aside time to read the Christmas story from the Bible (Luke 2:1-20) or from a children’s Nativity book. For younger children, use a Nativity coloring wheel to tell the Bible story of Jesus’ birth. After reading, ask the kids questions to help them think about the meaning behind the story, such as “Why was Jesus born in a stable?” or “What did the angels tell the shepherds?” This quiet activity offers a reflective moment during the busy holiday season.

5. Star Craft

A simple craft that kids will love is creating a Bethlehem star! Using paper, foil, or glitter, let kids design and cut out their very own star. You can then hang these stars around your home or classroom as a reminder of the star that led the wise men to Jesus. As the children create, share with them the significance of the star in the Nativity story and how it symbolized hope and guidance.

Fun & Faith-Filled Activities from the Happy Birthday Jesus Activity Set

Now, let’s look at a set of hands-on, fun, and creative activities that will make celebrating Jesus’ birthday an unforgettable experience for kids. These activities are perfect for Sunday school, kids’ ministry, homeschool lessons, or family Christmas celebrations, allowing children to engage in meaningful, Christ-centered activities that spark joy and faith.

1. Happy Birthday Jesus Flip Book

The Happy Birthday Jesus Flip Book (on Etsy too) is a fun and educational way to teach children about the many gifts Jesus is to us. With each flip, children will discover six key attributes of Jesus: Savior, Teacher, Friend, King, Healer, and God’s Gift. Each page can be colored in, making it a hands-on activity that kids will love while learning about who Jesus is and why we celebrate His birth.

Parents and teachers can encourage kids to reflect on what each attribute means and how Jesus’ birth brings these gifts to life. After completing the flip book, children will have a beautiful keepsake to remind them of the true meaning of Christmas.

2. 3D Pop-Up Happy Birthday Jesus Card

Who doesn’t love a pop-up card? This fun and interactive 3D pop-up Birthday Card for Jesus (on Etsy too) allows kids to craft a cute note for Jesus. The card features Jesus wearing a party hat, making it a playful way to celebrate His special day. Children can choose between black-and-white versions to color or pre-colored versions to assemble.

Inside the card, they can add one of three fun messages:

  • You’re the B(ethlehem)est gift of all!
  • The original Christmas miracle—no wonder you’re the star of the show!
  • Thank you for being the perfect gift!

They also can add their own message. As they create and assemble their cards, kids will be reminded of Jesus’ role as the greatest gift ever given.

3. Gospel Message Newspaper

This unique newspaper-style craft presents the birth of Jesus in a creative way, making it feel like a headline story! The “On the Day You Were Born” Jesus newspaper (on Etsy too) gives kids a fun and engaging way to learn about the events surrounding Jesus’ birth. It features key details like the visit of the shepherds, the appearance of the star, and the arrival of the wise men.

Not only is this a great craft for learning about the Nativity, but it also includes a simple explanation of the gospel message. This makes it a perfect tool for sharing the Good News with children and introducing them to the significance of Jesus’ birth.

4. Happy Birthday Jesus Handprint Craft with Cupcake

In this craft, children use their handprints to create a colorful cupcake design with the message “Happy Birthday Jesus.” It’s a sweet way to remind kids that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth, and it’s also a keepsake for parents or grandparents to cherish. The Christmas handprint craft (on Etsy too) comes with a holly border to give it a festive feel, making it perfect for classroom displays or holiday decorations.

Not only is this a creative and personal craft, but it also gives kids the chance to reflect on how they can use their hands to honor Jesus. They can talk about ways to help others or serve God, tying the activity back to the true spirit of Christmas.

5. Happy Birthday Jesus Party Banner

No birthday celebration is complete without a party banner! The Happy Birthday Jesus Party Banner adds a festive touch to any room, whether you’re hosting a birthday party for Jesus at home, in church, or in a classroom. The colorful letters and bright design will bring joy to the space and help kids focus on the reason for the season.

This banner can be displayed as part of a larger birthday celebration for Jesus, complete with cake, music, and activities. It’s a simple yet impactful way to set the stage for a Christ-centered Christmas celebration.

6. Happy Birthday Jesus Party Hat

Kids will love wearing these fun party hats as they celebrate Jesus’ birthday! The hats come with the message “Happy Birthday Jesus,” and children can color or decorate their own hats to wear during the celebration. It’s a great way to make them feel part of the party and reinforce the focus on Jesus as the guest of honor.

This activity can be incorporated into a larger birthday party for Jesus, where children can sing “Happy Birthday” and enjoy treats while reflecting on the joy of Jesus’ birth.

If you’re looking for even more ways to celebrate Jesus’ birth with your family or church, here are a few additional ideas to explore:

Advent Calendar for Kids

An Advent calendar is a wonderful way to build anticipation for Christmas while keeping the focus on Jesus. Each day leading up to Christmas, you can read a Bible verse or do a small activity that helps children understand the significance of the Nativity story. Creating a Homemade Advent Calendar is a great way to establish a Christ-centered tradition in your home.

Christian-Focused Family Elf Ideas

For families who participate in The Elf on the Shelf tradition, there are creative ways to make it more Christ-centered. Have your elf do activities that point to the birth of Jesus, like setting up a Nativity scene, reading the Bible, or sharing the message of love and kindness. This twist on the popular holiday tradition helps kids remember what Christmas is all about. You can also try alternative ideas to The Elf on the Shelf.

Jesus Birthday Cakes

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with cake? Making a birthday cake for Jesus is a sweet tradition that families can do together. You can bake a simple cake and sing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus as a way of honoring His birth. Decorating the cake with symbols of the Nativity or the cross can add even more meaning to the celebration.

Nativity Coloring Wheel Craft

A Nativity coloring wheel is a creative and educational activity that helps kids learn about the birth of Jesus in a visual way.

Kids can color each section while hearing the Nativity story, making it both fun and meaningful.

The Jesse Tree is a wonderful way to teach children about the Bible and the family tree of Jesus. This centuries-old tradition connects kids to the biblical stories and characters that lead to the birth of Jesus. In this blog post, we’ll explore what the Jesse Tree is, how to use it with your family, the symbols that represent the stories, and how to make the experience extra special with a printable Tree of Jesse craft set, including ornaments and coloring pages.

What is the Jesse Tree?

The Jesse Tree gets its name from Jesse, the father of King David, and is a visual representation of Jesus’ family tree. The Bible tells us in Isaiah 11:1, “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots, a Branch will bear fruit.” This tree serves as a symbol of the lineage of Jesus, starting with creation and leading through the Old Testament figures to the birth of Christ.

The Jesse Tree helps us remember that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s promises throughout the Bible.

How to Use a Jesse Tree

A Jesse Tree is typically used during Advent, the weeks leading up to Christmas, and the birth of the Messiah. For this reason, the tree can also be called “The Advent Tree” or “The Jesus Tree.” Each day, a new symbol is added to the tree, representing a story from the Bible that shows God’s plan for salvation through the ancestors of Jesus Christ. Families can read a Bible verse or story together as they hang the corresponding ornament.

how to use the jesse tree

Here’s how to use a Jesse Tree in a few simple steps:

  • Prepare your tree: This can be a small tabletop Christmas tree, a poster on the wall, or even bare branches (in a vase) from outside.
  • Hang an ornament each day: Each ornament represents a person or story from the Bible, such as Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, or David.
  • Read a passage or story: Share the Bible verse that goes with the ornament to reflect on how God’s plan unfolds through history.
  • Enjoy time together: This Christmas tradition and activity is a perfect way to center your family on the meaning of Christmas throughout the Advent season.

Symbols of the Jesse Tree

Each ornament on the Jesse Tree represents a significant biblical character or event that leads up to the birth of Jesus. These symbols help children understand the overarching story of salvation in a hands-on, visual way. Typically, these symbols are displayed on an ornament to be hung each day of the advent season.

Here are some common Jesse Tree symbols and their meanings:

  • Apple (Adam and Eve): Represents the fall of man and the need for a Savior.
  • Rainbow (Noah): Represents the faithfulness of God and His promise to never flood the earth again.
  • Burning Bush (Moses): A symbol of God calling Moses to lead His people.
  • Ten Commandments (Moses): A symbol of God’s law given to Moses on Mount Sinai.
  • Stars (Abraham): Symbolizing God’s promise to Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars.
  • Ram (Abraham and Isaac): Symbolizes the sacrifice provided by God, foreshadowing Jesus’ sacrifice.
  • Coat of Many Colors (Joseph): Represents Joseph’s unique role in God’s plan to save his family and preserve the nation of Israel after being sold as a slave into Egypt.
  • Oil (Samuel): Symbolizes Samuel’s role in anointing King David and being a faithful prophet, who was dedicated to God from a young age.
  • Wheat (Ruth): A reminder of Ruth’s faithfulness and God’s provision, leading to the lineage of Jesus.
  • Nativity Scene (Jesus’ Birth): Represents the birth of Jesus, the fulfillment of God’s promise, and the central event of the Christmas season.

These are just a few examples, but there are many more stories and symbols that can be used on a Jesse Tree, depending on the devotionals you choose to follow.

Why You Should Use a Jesse Tree

A Jesse Tree is a fantastic tool for helping children connect with the Bible and the true meaning of Christmas. Here are some reasons to consider adding a Jesse Tree to your family traditions:

1. Teaches Biblical History

The Jesse Tree walks your family through the entire Bible in a simple, visual way, making it easy for children to understand God’s plan for salvation.

2. Hands-on Learning

Children love hands-on activities, and hanging ornaments on a tree is a fun and engaging way to learn about Bible stories. This interactive approach helps kids retain the stories better than just reading.

3. Focuses on Jesus

While Christmas is often filled with distractions, the Jesse Tree helps center your family’s attention on Jesus and the story of His birth.

4. Daily Family Time

Using the Jesse Tree creates an opportunity for family devotions and meaningful conversations during the busy holiday season.

Where Can You Use a Jesse Tree?

The beauty of the Jesse Tree is its versatility. It can be used in various settings beyond your home:

  • At Home: You can use the Jesse Tree for family devotionals and as an Advent calendar during the month of December. Each day, your family can gather to hang an ornament, read a Bible passage, and reflect on God’s promises.
  • At Church: Sunday school teachers can lead students through the Jesse Tree symbols each week during Advent, helping them understand the stories that lead to the birth of Jesus.
  • Homeschooling: Families who homeschool can incorporate the Jesse Tree into their Bible lessons, using each worksheet and ornament to teach children how the Old and New Testaments are connected.
  • Christian Schools: This can be a great project for classrooms, where students can learn about Jesus’ lineage and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
  • Christmas Parties: Consider using the Jesse Tree at family gatherings or church Christmas parties, where each guest can add an ornament and share a Bible story.

How to Speak to Jesus: Fun & Easy Ways to Teach Kids About Prayer

Make prayer meaningful for children when you explore fun and simple ways to teach kids how to talk to Jesus. Through engaging activities and Bible crafts, parents and educators will find interactive tools, including a Prayer Cube Printable and a Talking to Jesus Cell Phone Craft, designed to help kids grow their relationship with God in a fun, hands-on way.

teaching kids how to talk to jesus

Teaching children how to talk to Jesus is one of the most important life skills we can give them. The beauty of prayer is that it’s a conversation—a simple, heartfelt dialogue between us and God. But how do we make this concept easy and fun for little ones to grasp? Whether through structured prayers like the ACTS Prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, or more casual daily conversations, there are so many creative ways to introduce kids to the joy of talking to Jesus.

In this post, we’ll explore some fun, hands-on ways to teach kids to pray, including engaging crafts like the ACTS Prayer Template, for older kids, the Five-Finger Prayer, the Lord’s Prayer Craft Set, and the ever-popular Talking to Jesus Cell Phone Craft. Let’s dive into these ideas!

Why Teaching Kids to Pray is Important

Prayer is the foundation of a strong relationship with God. By teaching children how to pray, we’re giving them the tools to express gratitude, seek guidance, ask for help, and grow their faith. Even though prayer can feel abstract to kids, there are simple, interactive ways to make it a meaningful part of their everyday lives.

Fun and Simple Ways to Teach Kids to Talk to Jesus

Helping kids learn to talk to Jesus can be fun and easy! By breaking down prayer into manageable steps and using creative, hands-on activities, children can connect with God in ways that feel natural to them. Whether it’s through structured prayers or casual conversations, these methods will inspire kids to build a deeper relationship with Jesus. Let’s explore some fun ways to get started!

The ACTS Prayer

One of the easiest ways to structure prayer for children is through the ACTS prayer, which stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. This method helps guide them through talking to Jesus in a balanced way—praising God, asking for forgiveness, giving thanks, and making requests.

To make this fun and interactive, try using an ACTS Prayer Template. Kids can color, decorate, and fill in their prayers under each section. It’s a great way to introduce structure while still letting them express their thoughts freely.

Craft Idea: ACTS Prayer Template

  • In our shop, the printable ACTS Prayer template (on Etsy) or ACTS Prayer Coloring Wheel (on Etsy) breaks down each section of the prayer and gives kids space to write or draw their own prayers.
  • A great way to practice the ACTS model in Sunday school or at home!

The Lord’s Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer is a wonderful way to introduce kids to a structured, biblical prayer. In the Gospels, Jesus Himself taught this prayer, and it’s filled with all the key elements of speaking to God. You can teach children to memorize it, but don’t stop there! Break it down into simple parts and explain what each section means in terms they can understand.

Pair this with our Lord’s Prayer Craft Set—a fun, interactive way for children to learn and engage with the word of God and each part of the prayer.

Craft Idea: The Lord’s Prayer Craft Set

  • In our shop, the Lord’s Prayer Activity set (or on Etsy) walks children through the different sections of the Lord’s Prayer with colorful visuals and fun activities.
  • The set includes a coloring wheel, mini book, hand tracing craft, coloring page for younger kids, and activity mat for older kids.
  • It helps them understand the meaning behind each line while creating something they can keep.

Five-Finger Prayer

The Five-Finger Prayer is another easy and memorable way to teach kids how to pray. Each finger represents a different part of the prayer:

  • Pinky Finger: Praise
  • Ring Finger: Give thanks
  • Middle Finger: Pray for others
  • Index Finger: Ask for forgiveness
  • Thumb: Pray for ourselves

Kids love this visual method because it’s simple and ties prayer to something they use every day—their hands!

Craft Idea: Five-Finger Prayer Template

  • Use a fun printable Prayer outline (on Etsy too) to help children remember the Five-Finger Prayer. They can color the fingers and add their prayer points.
  • This is perfect for younger kids who need a tangible, easy-to-understand way to organize their prayers.

Daily Conversations with Jesus

It’s important to remind children that they don’t need to wait for a special moment to talk to Jesus. Prayer can happen anytime—whether they’re happy, sad, or just want to talk. Encouraging daily conversation with Jesus helps kids see that God is always with them and listening.

One way to reinforce this idea is with our Talking to Jesus Cell Phone Craft. Kids love the idea of texting and calling Jesus—just like they would their friends or family. This craft is a fun reminder that Jesus is always there, just a prayer away.

Craft Idea: Talking to Jesus Cell Phone Craft

  • This printable Call on Jesus craft (also on Etsy) features a cell phone template where kids can “text” or “call” Jesus, write down their favorite worship songs, and even track their gratitude.
  • It’s a creative way to remind children that Jesus is always available for a conversation.

Talk to Jesus Any Time

Teaching kids that they can talk to Jesus whenever they need to is a wonderful way to help them feel connected to their faith. Whether they’re feeling joyful, worried, or anything in between, knowing that Jesus is always available for a conversation is key to building a strong prayer life.

A fun way to encourage this is with our Talk to Jesus Paper Bag Puppet Craft. Kids will create a puppet of Jesus using a simple brown paper bag, making it an engaging, hands-on way to bring the idea of prayer to life. The puppet serves as a reminder that they can “talk” to Jesus anytime, just like a close friend.

Talk to Jesus any time puppet craft for kids

Craft Idea: Talk to Jesus Paper Bag Puppet

  • This Jesus Puppet craft (on Etsy too) uses a brown paper bag as the base for a simple Jesus puppet. Kids can decorate the paper bag puppet to represent Jesus, adding their own creative touches.
  • The puppet can be used during prayer time, reminding children that Jesus is always there to listen and guide them.

Prayer Cube Printable for Kids

The Prayer Cube is a fun, interactive way for kids to engage in prayer! This printable craft allows children to roll a cube with different types of prayers on each side, helping them explore various ways to talk to Jesus.

Each side of the cube could feature:

  • Praise: Offering thanks and praise to God.
  • Confession: Asking for forgiveness.
  • Thanksgiving: Being grateful for blessings.
  • Requests: Asking God for help or guidance.
  • Blessing Others: Praying for friends and family.
  • Open Conversation: A free moment to talk to Jesus about anything.

Craft Idea: Prayer Cube Printable

  • Print, color, cut, and assemble the Prayer Cube (also on Etsy) for a hands-on, fun prayer activity.
  • Each side will encourage a different type of prayer, making it a perfect tool for teaching kids how to communicate with God in a balanced way.

This is a great activity for kids to use daily during prayer time, as they can roll the cube and let the side that lands guide their conversation with Jesus!

Making Prayer Fun and Interactive for Kids

By turning prayer into a hands-on activity, we’re giving children the opportunity to learn in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. Whether it’s through a structured model like the ACTS Prayer or a casual, heartfelt conversation, kids will begin to understand that Jesus is always there, ready to listen and guide them.

Why Crafts Help: Crafting creates a physical connection to what they’re learning, making prayer more concrete and less abstract. When they color, decorate, and personalize their prayers, they’re creating a memory and a habit that will stick with them long after the craft is done.

If you’re ready to start teaching your little ones how easy and joyful it can be to talk to Jesus, grab some of these craft templates and activity sets! They’re perfect for parents, Sunday school teachers, and homeschool educators looking for a fun way to bring faith into daily life.

Teaching The Lord’s Prayer to kids can be both fun and meaningful with engaging crafts and activities. In this post, you’ll discover creative ways to help children learn and love this important prayer through hands-on projects perfect for Sunday school or home.

crafts for kids on the lords prayer

Teaching kids how to pray is an incredible journey—one that fills their hearts with faith and brings smiles to their faces! When developing a relationship with Christ, one of the most important prayers they can learn is The Lord’s Prayer, a powerful and beautiful prayer given by Jesus Himself. Below, we’ll explore what The Lord’s Prayer is, why it’s so important, and how you can bring this special prayer to life with hands-on activities that kids will absolutely love and use to remember God’s word!

What is The Lord’s Prayer?

The Lord’s Prayer is a gift from Jesus Christ to His disciples—and to us, his followers! Known as “Our Father,” this prayer teaches us how to talk to God. Found in Matthew 6:9-13, The Lord’s Prayer is packed with all the essentials of faith: worship, asking for God’s help, forgiving others, and recognizing God’s power. It’s a perfect guide for little hearts and minds eager to connect with God.

Why is The Lord’s Prayer Important?

The Lord’s Prayer is a wonderful tool to teach kids the foundation of their faith. It shows them how to talk to God in a simple yet powerful way, introducing key values like adoration, confession, forgiveness, trust, and submission to God’s will. By learning this Christian prayer, children start to build a lifelong relationship with God—one filled with love, hope, and joy!

Where is The Lord’s Prayer Found in the Bible?

Part of the Gospels, you can find The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 as part of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount. This special prayer has been passed down through hundreds of generations, and now you have the joy of passing it on to the next generation of little believers. How exciting is that?

A Kid-Friendly Breakdown of The Lord’s Prayer

God provides us a template for prayer in the book of Matthew!  To help your kids grasp the beauty of this prayer, let’s break it down together! Each part of The Lord’s Prayer is packed with meaning, and here’s how you can explain each part of the prayer to children in a fun and easy-to-understand way:

  • “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name”: In adoration, we start by praising God for who He is—our heavenly Father who loves us!
  • “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”: We ask for God’s plans to unfold in our world and in our lives.
  • “Give us this day our daily bread”: Just as the Lord provided daily rations of manna to the Israelites in the wilderness, we trust God to take care of all our needs. Every. Single. Day.
  • “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”: We ask God to forgive us of our sins and help us forgive others—what a beautiful reminder of God’s love!
  • “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”: We ask God to guide us away from wrong choices and keep us safe.
  • “For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever”: We end with a joyful shout of praise, celebrating God’s everlasting power and goodness!  (This is in King James Version)

Isn’t it amazing how this prayer covers everything from worship to daily needs? It’s a great way to introduce children to the wonder of prayer and what it means to rely on God.

The Life of Moses Story Overview

the life of moses in the bible

Moses is one of the most important figures in the Bible, known for leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. The stories of Moses unfold across the Old Testament in the Books of the Bible including Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers. However, his legacy transcends these books, as he is repeatedly mentioned throughout the Bible. Notably, he stands as one of the prophets most frequently referenced in the New Testament.

Moses’ full story is full of exciting events and miracles that make it a great source of inspiration for kids’ crafts. Starting with his birth and going to the final days in the wilderness, there are many examples of where God was at work in the life of Moses.

The Birth of Moses

Moses was born during a time when the Pharaoh of Egypt had ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be killed. His mother put him in a basket and set him adrift on the Nile River, where he was found by the Pharaoh’s daughter and raised in the royal court.

Moses and the Burning Bush

After leaving Egypt, one day while tending his flock in the wilderness, Moses saw a burning bush that was not consumed by the flames. God spoke to him from the bush and told him to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt.

The 10 Plagues

Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and demanded that he release God’s people. When he refused, God sent ten plagues upon Egypt, including turning the Nile River into blood, sending swarms of locusts, and causing darkness to cover the land.

The Exodus

After the final plague, in which every firstborn son in Egypt died, Pharaoh finally agreed to let the slaves go. Moses led them out of Egypt, but Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them with his army. God parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could escape and then closed it on the pursuing Egyptians.

The Ten Commandments

While the Israelites were in the wilderness, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. These commandments are still considered a cornerstone of Judeo-Christian morality.

The Tent of Meeting & The Tabernacle

After receiving the Ten Commandments, Moses built the Tent of Meeting, a portable sanctuary where he could meet with God. Later, the Israelites built the Tabernacle, a larger and more permanent version of the Tent of Meeting, to house the Ark of the Covenant and other sacred objects.

The Death of Moses

Despite the many miracles that occurred during his lifetime and his faithfulness to the Lord, Moses never went into the promise Land. Instead, his life ended on a mountain, Mount Nebo. There God gave Moses a glimpse of the promised land before he died.

By creating crafts that reflect the events and themes of Moses’ life story, children can learn about important values such as courage, faith, and perseverance through hard times.

Let’s look at a timeline of crafts that depict different events in the life of Moses.

Craft Materials and Safety Tips

Choosing the Right Materials

When it comes to Moses crafts for kids, choosing the right materials is important to ensure that the craft is safe and enjoyable. Here are some materials that are commonly used in crafts for Moses:

  • Construction paper
  • Cardstock (I love this cardstock)
  • Scissors
  • Glue sticks
  • Markers
  • Paint
  • Paintbrushes
  • Tissue Paper
  • Brass Fasteners
  • Cotton balls
  • Popsicle sticks

… and more!

It’s important to choose age-appropriate materials for the craft. For example, younger children should use safety scissors instead of regular scissors to avoid accidents.  Preschoolers can enjoy Moses coloring pages or activities that do not involve cutting. Older kids can choose Moses activities that are more intricate and detailed.

Safety Guidelines for Kids Crafts

When working on Moses crafts with kids, safety should be a top priority. Here are some safety guidelines to keep in mind:

  • Always supervise children when they are using scissors, glue, or other craft materials.
  • Make sure that craft materials are non-toxic and safe for children to use.
  • Keep small objects, such as beads or buttons, out of reach of young children as they can be a choking hazard.
  • Encourage children to wash their hands after using craft materials to avoid any potential health risks.
  • Store craft materials in a safe place where children cannot access them when they are not being used.

By following these safety guidelines and choosing the right materials, kids can have a fun and safe time creating crafts about Moses.

In this section, we’ll delve into two captivating projects: “Moses Basket Craft” and “Moses Floats Down the Nile Craft”.

Burning Bush Art Projects

Ignite creativity with the next segment of our Moses craft series, focusing on the mesmerizing story of the Burning Bush. Children will dive into two captivating Moses and the burning Bush Crafts that bring this miraculous event to life. The first Moses art uses twigs and a mix of red and orange handprints to create a vivid, tactile representation of the burning bush, blending nature and creativity. The second transforms a simple coloring page into a dynamic 3D scene using tissue paper to simulate the fiery flames, offering a colorful exploration of texture and depth. These creative crafts invite kids to explore the story of Moses in an interactive and imaginative way.

Fiery Handprint Bush

Fiery Handprint burning Bush of moses

Kids can create their own burning bush with this fiery handprint craft. Start by having the child paint their hand with red, orange, and yellow paint. Then, have them press their hand onto a piece of paper to create the bush. Once the flames of fire dry, use a hot glue gun to glue small twigs on the paper to represent a bush. This craft is a fun way to teach kids about the story of Moses and the burning bush. For a classroom display or fun Moses Bulletin Board, you can combine handprints from the students to make one large burning bush classroom display.

Accurate Bible Depiction: The leaves on the burning bush did not burn. Once the Moses handprint art is dry, also add green leaves showing the bush is still intact.

Tissue Paper Bush Moses Coloring Sheet

For this Moses and the Burning Bush coloring page craft, kids can make a colorful and textured burning bush using tissue paper. Start by coloring the picture of Moses with a burning Bush (or use the included colored copy.) Once complete, have the child crumple up pieces of red, orange, and yellow tissue paper and glue them onto the bush to create the flames for a fun 3-D texture. This Burning Bush Moses craft is a great way to encourage creativity and imagination while learning about the story of Moses.

Sunday School Lesson Activity Idea: Moses was asked to take off his sandals because he was “standing on holy ground.” For these fun Moses Bible Crafts, make it a no-shoe day. Ask the kids to leave their shoes beside the classroom door because they are “standing on Holy ground.”

How do I make a Burning Bush craft that will capture kids’ imaginations?

To make a Burning Bushcraft that will capture kids’ imaginations, you can use tissue paper in shades of red, orange, and yellow to create flames. Extend this idea and add glitter or sequins for extra sparkle. Finally, another idea is to use a battery-operated tea light to make the flames flicker and glow.

Ten Plagues Activities

Kids can get crafty making leap-off-the-page origami frogs, spin through the story with a colorful plague-themed coloring wheel, and go on a fun “I Spy the Ten Plagues” scavenger hunt around the classroom. These activities make learning about this big Bible event super interactive and a whole lot of fun, turning history into an adventure.

Frog Origami

frog origami craft for 10 plagues of egypt

One of the ten plagues of Egypt was frogs, and kids can create their own origami frogs to represent this plague. All you need is green paper and instructions for making origami frogs. Kids can make multiple frogs and use them to reenact the plague, or they can use them as decorations for their room or to give as gifts to friends and family. For Christian schooling or homeschool activities for Math, have a frog race challenge. See how far each student can jump their frog. Measure and compare distances. Go through the mean, median, and mode for the distance of each frog jump. Finally graph the distances on a bar or line graph.

I Spy Classroom Scavenger Hunt

i spy classroom scavenger hunt 10 plague activity

Get ready for an adventure with our I Spy the 10 Plagues Scavenger Hunt for the classroom!

Moses Parts the Red Sea Displays

Dive into the miraculous story of Moses parting the Red Sea with two immersive activities that blend creativity, science, and storytelling.

Following that, kids will get crafty with a 3D diorama project, bringing Exodus 14 Moses and the Red Sea to life with their own creative touches. These activities not only make learning about this iconic event fun but also provide a unique opportunity to combine art, science, and history in an engaging and memorable way.

Splitting Water Experiment

Moses parting the red sea science experiment for kids

Kids can recreate the iconic scene of Moses parting the Red Sea with this Simple 5-Minute Science Experiment. For this homeschool lesson on the Red Sea in the Bible, all that is needed is a clear container, water, red food coloring, and cooking oil. Fill the container with water, drops of red food coloring, and a layer of cooking oil on top. The oil will float on top of the water, creating a visible separation. As an extension, using a toothpick or straw, kids can gently stir the oil layer to create a gap in the middle. The water will flow into the gap, creating the illusion of the Red Sea parting. This experiment is a great way to teach kids about the science behind oil and water and the importance of patience and precision in scientific experiments. It’s important to emphasize this is a visual representation of how the Red Sea was parted, but not an accurate depiction as the parting of the Red Sea was a miracle in the bible, not the separation of oil and Water.

Moses and the Red Sea Craft 3-D Diorama

The Red sea craft for kids diorama

Create a fun Red Sea parting project for kids. This breathtaking 3D scene of Moses parting the Red Sea comes with a diorama template.

This event is considered one of the cornerstones of Jewish faith and identity, marking the covenant between God and the Jewish people. Shavuot occurs on the 6th day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, which typically falls in late May or early June. The Torah is the central and most important religious document in Judaism, revered as the foundational text of Jewish law, ethics, traditions, and history. It consists of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Pentateuch, which are Genesis (Bereishit), Exodus (Shemot), Leviticus (Vayikra), Numbers (Bamidbar), and Deuteronomy (Devarim). These books are believed to have been revealed by God to Moses on Mount Sinai and encompass a wide range of teachings, including the 613 commandments (mitzvot) that guide Jewish life and practice.

What is the difference between Tabernacle and Tent of Meeting?

The Tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting were both super important spots for the Israelites when it came to talking to God, but they had their own special roles. Think of the Tabernacle as the main hangout for everyone to get together, worship, and make sacrifices. It was like the community’s spiritual home base. On the other hand, the Tent of Meeting was more of a private chat room where Moses got to catch up with God one-on-one, getting all the latest guidance and insider info. And get this – after Moses had these face-to-face meetings with God, he had to wear a veil because his face was literally glowing. Pretty cool, right? So, while both places were all about connecting with God, they did it in different ways: one was for everyone to join in, and the other was for those heart-to-heart chats with the big guy upstairs.

Teaching the Book of Job to Kids has never been easier. Enjoy these engaging Sunday School Lessons and Creative Crafts for the timeless story of Job! These activities will help them understand the themes of faith, perseverance, and trust in God from the Old Testament.

cute book of job crafts for kids

Teaching the Book of Job to kids might seem daunting at first. The story is complex and deals with deep themes of suffering, faith, and perseverance. However, with the right approach, it can be incredibly enriching and relatable for children of all ages. From preschoolers to preteens, kids can learn valuable lessons about trusting God, even during tough times. In this blog post, we’ll explore various Sunday school lesson ideas and incorporate some creative crafts to make learning about Job both fun and memorable.

Introduction to Job

Start with an introduction to Job. Explain that Job was a man who loved God and was very blessed, but he went through a lot of difficult times. Despite his suffering, Job never lost his faith in God. This sets the stage for kids to understand that the Bible story of Job is about more than just his trials—it’s about faith and trust in God and the growth that can take place in times of suffering.

A Short Story About the Life of Job

Job lived in the land of Uz and was known as a righteous and upright man. He had a large family, with seven sons and three daughters, and was very wealthy. Job owned thousands of sheep, camels, and other livestock. He also had many servants who worked for him. Job was truly blessed and always thanked God for his blessings.

One day, Satan came to God and said that Job was only faithful because of his wealth and good fortune. To test Job’s faith, God allowed Satan to take away all of Job’s blessings. In a single day, Job lost his livestock to raiders, his servants were killed, and a great wind destroyed the house where all of Job’s children were gathered, killing them all. It was a very bad day for Job, but he did not blame God.

Next, Satan afflicted Job with painful boils and sores all over his body. Even in his immense suffering, Job remained faithful. His wife told him to “curse God and die,” but Job responded that they should accept both good and trouble from God.

Job had three friends—Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar—who came to comfort him. They believed that Job must have sinned to deserve such suffering and urged him to repent. However, Job maintained his innocence and continued to trust in God. A young man named Elihu also spoke to Job, suggesting that his suffering was meant for his growth.

In the end, God spoke to Job out of a whirlwind, reminding him of His power and wisdom. Job acknowledged God’s greatness and his own limited understanding. Because of Job’s faithfulness, God restored his fortunes, giving him twice as much as he had before. Job lived a long, blessed life, knowing that God is good all the time, even in the midst of suffering.

Scripture Reference: Job 1:1 – 42:17

Lesson Ideas for Different Age Groups

When teaching the story of Job to children, it’s important to tailor your approach to suit their age and developmental stage. Younger children benefit from simple, visual, and interactive activities that convey the basic message of God’s goodness and faithfulness.

The Great Commission for Kids: Fun Ways to Teach an Important Bible Lesson

Discover engaging ways to teach kids The Great Commission with fun Bible crafts and activities. Parents and educators can use hands-on projects like a “Jesus is with Me” flashlight activity, a Great Commission coloring wheel, and mosaic art to help children understand and embrace their role in sharing God’s word.

how to teach the great commission to kids

Teaching the Great Commission to children is a wonderful opportunity to introduce them to the mission that Jesus gave His disciples and, ultimately, to all of us. The Great Commission is a call to action, but it can sometimes feel abstract to young minds. That’s where engaging, hands-on activities come in to help kids grasp this vital message in a way that sticks with them.

In this post, we’ll break down the basics of the Great Commission and offer creative ways for parents, teachers, and educators to teach it to kids through fun and meaningful crafts and activities that will deepen the understanding of the message. Use the ideas in discipleship and outreach, VBS, homeschooling, Sunday school, and more.

What is the Great Commission?

The Great Commission is one of the final instructions Jesus gave to His disciples before ascending into heaven. It’s found in Matthew 28:18-20, where Jesus says:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

This command is often summarized as Jesus’ call to spread the gospel and make disciples. It emphasizes teaching others about God, baptizing them, and showing them how to live as followers of Christ.

Why is the Great Commission Important?

The Great Commission is significant because it is the core mission that Jesus left for His followers. It’s not just a task for adults or missionaries, but for everyone—including kids. Teaching children about the Great Commission helps them understand that they, too, can share the love of Jesus with others, whether it’s through kind words, sharing Bible stories, or simply living out their faith in everyday life.

By instilling this concept early on, kids can grow up with a heart for sharing God’s love with their friends, family, and even people across the world.

What is the Purpose of the Great Commission?

The purpose of the Great Commission is to spread the message of salvation to all people. Jesus commanded His disciples to teach others about God’s love and His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. It’s not just about spreading information—it’s about transforming lives through the power of the gospel.

When kids learn the Great Commission, they begin to see how they can be a part of God’s plan to reach others. It also gives them a sense of purpose and helps them understand that their faith is something to be shared.

Where is the Great Commission Found?

The Great Commission is most famously found in Matthew 28:18-20.

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

However, similar calls to spread the gospel are also mentioned in other parts of the New Testament:

  • Mark 16:15: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
  • Acts 1:8: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

These passages show that the call to share the good news of Jesus is a central theme in the New Testament and an ongoing mission for all believers.

How to Teach the Great Commission to Kids

The best way to teach kids about the Great Commission is through hands-on activities that help them visualize and internalize the message. Here are some fun and engaging crafts that can make the Great Commission come alive for children:

The Great Commission Mosaic Art Craft

Let kids get creative while reflecting on the message of the Great Commission by making a mosaic of the Earth (on Etsy too), reminding them that Jesus’ command is to reach the whole world. Print these globes on paper and decide on one of the following crafts. Choose a simple craft for preschool with coloring or a more complex activity using cut-up cardstock or construction paper for older kids.

earth mosaic art the great commission

Coloring Option

For younger kids, provide an Earth outline they can color with green and blue crayons. This is a simple activity that helps improve fine motor skills while reflecting on the message of going into the world.

Tissue Paper Option

For a more tactile experience, have kids glue 1-inch x 1-inch pieces of green and blue tissue paper onto the Earth outline sheet of paper. This creates a fun, textured look while reinforcing the Bible lesson.

Mosaic Option

For older children, provide blue and green cardstock pieces cut into various shapes. They can cut paper themselves and place them in a pile at the center of the table. Let them glue these pieces onto the commission globe, creating a beautiful mosaic. This option helps kids develop patience and creativity while thinking about their role in sharing the gospel with the world.

Final Thoughts on Teaching the Great Commission to Kids

Explaining the Holy Trinity to kids? Teaching kids about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is like unlocking a magical mystery box. The idea of God 3-in-1 can feel puzzling at first, but fear not! Dive into our treasure trove of delightful Sunday School crafts and clever tips to make learning about the Holy Trinity a blast for your little ones. Let’s embark on this faith-filled adventure together!

how to teach kids the holy trinity

The Holy Trinity is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, encompassing the belief in one God existing in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. While this God is 3-in-1 concept may seem complex, especially for young minds, it holds profound significance in understanding the nature of God and His relationship with his people.

So what is the importance of teaching the Trinity to children? Introducing children to the concept of the Holy Trinity is essential for their spiritual growth and understanding. By laying the foundation of this fundamental belief early on, parents and educators can help children develop a deeper connection to their faith and foster a sense of reverence and awe for the divine. Moreover, grasping the concept of the Trinity can instill values of unity, love, and community, shaping children’s worldviews and guiding them in their journey of faith.

Understanding the Holy Trinity

the holy trinity for kids lessons and crafts

What is the Holy Trinity?

At its core, the Holy Trinity represents the threefold nature of God. It embodies the belief that God exists as three distinct persons, yet is one divine being. These three persons are the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Each part of the Trinity has its own job in God’s plan, but they stick together forever (inseparable) and have always been around (co-eternal.)

Explanation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

  • The Father: Often portrayed as the Godhead, the creator of the universe The Father embodies a sense of loving authority and nurturing care for all creation. He’s like the wise overseer of everything, guiding and protecting us with a fatherly touch.
  • The Son (Jesus Christ): Jesus Christ is like the human side of God, coming to earth as a friend to teach humankind important lessons and show us what God’s love really means. His teachings, sacrifice, and resurrection offer us hope and a path to reconciliation with God.
  • The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is often described as the divine presence within believers, guiding, comforting, and empowering them in their faith journey. It is through the Holy Spirit that God interacts with individuals and manifests His power (the power of God) in the world.

Analogy of the Trinity Using Examples Children Can Relate To

Explaining the concept of the Trinity to children can be challenging but using relatable analogies can make it easier to grasp. For instance, just as water can exist in three states—liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor)—yet remains H2O, the Trinity comprises three distinct persons while being one God. Similarly, consider the analogy of an apple: it consists of the peel, the flesh, and the core. Though 3 parts of an apple, it is one apple. These simple comparisons help children understand the concept of 3-in-1 with distinct rolls within the Trinity, making it more accessible and relatable to their young minds.

Trinity Sunday

Incorporating a lesson for kids on the Holy Trinity can happen whenever and wherever.  However, in the Christian calendar, Trinity Sunday stands out as a special celebration that falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It serves as a time to honor and reflect upon the Holy Trinity – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Churches often mark this occasion with special services, hymns, and prayers that highlight the central role of the Blessed Trinity in Christian theology. Beyond the theological implications, Trinity Sunday also serves as a reminder of the profound relationship between God and mandkind.

Let’s learn more about the Holy Trinity for Kids to be used in homeschooling, Christian education, family devotions, kids’ ministry, or Sunday school classrooms.

The holy trinity ideas for kids

Explaining the Trinity to kids can feel like navigating uncharted waters, but fear not! With a sprinkle of creativity and a dash of storytelling magic, you can make this complex concept not only understandable but downright fascinating for young minds.

Simplify the Concept

Let’s break it down into bite-sized pieces! Use language that’s as clear as a sunny day and visuals that pop like fireworks. Think simple analogies that kids can grasp, like comparing the Trinity to a three-part harmony in a song – each voice has its unique melody, but together they create a beautiful harmony that fills the air with music!

Engage with Stories

What’s better than a good story? Nothing! Dive into biblical tales that bring the Trinity to life. Whether it’s The Good Shepherd and His Sheep (John 10), the Creation of the World (Genesis 1), or the dove descending at The Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3). These Bible stories are like treasure maps leading straight to understanding of the 3 parts of God. Don’t forget to add your own flair with storytelling tricks – dramatic voices encouraged!

Encourage Questions

Kids are curious creatures, and that’s a good thing! Create a safe space where questions are welcomed with open arms. Dive into those curly questions headfirst, addressing any sneaky misconceptions along the way. Remember, there’s no such thing as a silly question when exploring the mysteries of faith together!

Have Fun with Hands-on Crafts

Extend the lesson plan to kinesthetic learning. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into some hands-on fun! Craft time isn’t just about creating something pretty – it’s a chance to bring the Trinity to life in a tangible way.
