Teaching kids the powerful lessons from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount can have a lasting impact on their spiritual growth and character development. This remarkable section of Scripture, found in Matthew chapters 5 through 7, is packed with teachings on how to live a life that honors God, treats others with kindness, and focuses on what truly matters. By introducing children to these foundational lessons early in life, we help them build a strong faith that will guide them through challenges, friendships, and everyday decisions. In this post, we’ll explore key topics from the Sermon on the Mount and offer engaging crafts and activities to help kids connect with these teachings in a fun, hands-on way.

What is the Sermon on the Mount?

The Sermon on the Mount is a collection of Jesus’ teachings, found in Matthew chapters 5 through 7, where He lays out principles for living a righteous and godly life. These teachings are foundational for Christian living and are still highly relevant today. Through stories, parables, and direct instructions, Jesus guides us on how to live, treat others, and stay focused on God’s kingdom.

Key Topics Covered in the Sermon on the Mount

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Teaches the People several key parables that are vital for kids to learn:

  • The Beatitudes: How to live a life that is blessed by God (Matthew 5:3-12).
    • Jesus describes the qualities of a blessed life, encouraging traits like humility, mercy, and peacemaking, which are important for kids to develop.
  • Being Salt and Light: Making a positive difference in the world (Matthew 5:13-16).
    • Kids learn that they can influence others in a positive way, being “the light” that shines brightly and “the salt” that preserves goodness in the world.
  • Loving Your Enemies: Showing kindness and forgiveness to those who hurt you (Matthew 5:43-48).
    • One of Jesus’ most challenging lessons is to love and pray for those who hurt us. Teaching kids the value of forgiveness and compassion helps them develop strong, kind character traits.
  • The Lord’s Prayer: A model for how we should pray (Matthew 6:9-13).
    • Jesus provides a perfect example of Christian prayer, showing kids how to talk to God in a simple, heartfelt way, asking for their daily needs and forgiveness.
  • Storing Treasures in Heaven: Focusing on what truly matters (Matthew 6:19-21).
    • Jesus teaches kids to value love, kindness, and generosity over material possessions. This is an important lesson in a world focused on materialism.
  • Trusting God Over Worry: Relying on God for all our needs (Matthew 6:25-34).
    • Jesus encourages kids not to worry, using examples of how God takes care of the birds and flowers, reminding them that God will take care of them too.
  • Asking, Seeking, and Knocking: The power of prayer and perseverance (Matthew 7:7-12).
    • Jesus teaches the importance of persistence in prayer, assuring kids that God hears them when they seek Him and ask for guidance.
  • The Golden Rule: Treat others the way you want to be treated (Matthew 7:12).
    • The Law and the Prophets is a simple yet profound concept for kids to learn: treat others with kindness and respect, just as you’d like to be treated.
  • Building on a Firm Foundation: The importance of putting Jesus’ words into practice (Matthew 7:24-27).
    • Jesus tells the parable of the wise and foolish builders, teaching kids that living by His words creates a strong foundation in their lives, like a house built on rock.

Engaging Ways to Teach the Sermon on the Mount to Kids

Teaching the Sermon on the Mount to kids doesn’t have to be a passive experience. By incorporating creative activities and meaningful discussions, you can bring Jesus’ teachings to life, making them both relatable and exciting for young hearts.

Use Bible Crafts to Reinforce Lessons

Kids often learn best through hands-on activities, and Bible crafts are a fantastic way to help them engage with Scripture. By making the Sermon on the Mount interactive, kids can grasp these profound teachings in a way that’s fun and memorable.

Create Interactive Discussions

In addition to crafts, discussion is key to helping kids process what they’ve learned. Encourage children to share their thoughts on the Beatitudes, how they can be a light in the world, or what they pray for during the day.

Example Sermon on the Mount Discussion Question for Kids:

  • “What does it mean to trust God when you’re worried?”
  • “Which Beatitude do you think is the hardest to follow, and why?”
  • “How can you show love to someone who is unkind to you?”
  • “What does it mean to be the ‘salt of the earth’?”
  • “Why do you think Jesus told us to pray using the Lord’s Prayer?”
  • “Can you think of a time when you asked, sought, or knocked, and God answered you?”
  • “How can you be a light for others at school or in your neighborhood?”
  • “What are some things you worry about, and how can you give those worries to God?”
  • “What are some ‘treasures in heaven’ that you can store up?”

These discussion starters can spark meaningful conversations and help kids apply Jesus’ teachings to their own lives.

Teaching the Parables of Jesus: Stories That Shape Our Faith

Jesus told some pretty awesome stories called parables to help us understand big ideas about God and life. In this post, we’re sharing why He used them, where to find them in the Bible, and some of the most popular ones—plus we have adorable and intentional hands-on crafts and activities to make these lessons fun and meaningful for kids!

The Parables of Jesus Crafts for Kids

What Is a Parable?

A parable is a simple yet profound story used to teach a moral or spiritual lesson. Parables often draw on everyday scenarios—like farming, building, relationships, or helping others—that were familiar to Jesus’ audience, making His teachings both relatable and memorable. These short stories transcend time, continuing to provide wisdom and guidance to people of all ages.

In the Bible, parables were Jesus’ chosen method of illustrating complex truths about the Kingdom of God. He used them to show His listeners what God’s love, forgiveness, and expectations looked like in practice. Parables are not just stories; they are invitations to think, reflect, and apply their lessons to our own lives.

Why Did Jesus Teach in Parables?

Jesus didn’t use parables simply because they were easy to remember; He had deeper reasons for choosing this teaching method. Jesus taught in parables for several reasons:

  1. To make spiritual truths accessible:
    Parables transformed complex theological ideas into concepts that anyone could understand, regardless of their education or background. A farmer could see himself in the Parable of the Sower, while a child could relate to the joy of finding a lost sheep.
  2. To provoke thought and self-reflection:
    Parables often left the listener with a question or a challenge. For example, in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus asked, “Who is your neighbor?” By leaving the answer open-ended, He encouraged people to examine their own behavior and attitudes.
  3. To reveal truth to the faithful:
    Jesus often said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Parables were designed to be understood by those who were open to God’s message, while those resistant to His teachings often missed the deeper meaning.
  4. To keep the message timeless:
    Because parables use universal themes and simple imagery, they remain relevant across generations. The lessons of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan are just as meaningful today as they were 2,000 years ago. Through teaching parables, Jesus ensured that His lessons would be both memorable and applicable to daily life.

Jesus Parables Lessons for Kids

Where Are Parables Found in the Bible?

The parables of Jesus are primarily found in the first four books of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each Gospel contains different parables, though some overlap. Luke is known for containing the highest number of parables, many of which focus on themes like mercy, forgiveness, and God’s love for the lost.

How Many Parables Are There?

The exact count can vary depending on how one defines a parable, but there are approximately 56 parables in the Gospels. Some are well-known, like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, while others, like the Growing Seed, are less commonly taught.

How Many Parables Are There?

The number of parables depends on how one defines a parable. Scholars generally agree that there are 30-40 parables in total, with the Gospel of Luke containing the most. Some parables, like the Mustard Seed, are as short as two verses, while others, like the Prodigal Son, span an entire chapter.

Parables vary in theme, addressing topics like:

  • Forgiveness (The Unforgiving Servant)
  • Faith (The Mustard Seed)
  • Love for Others (The Good Samaritan)
  • God’s Kingdom (The Wedding Banquet)

Common Questions About Parables

Why are parables so memorable?

Parables are memorable because they connect deep spiritual truths to everyday life experiences. Jesus used simple, relatable imagery—like planting seeds, building houses, or searching for lost treasures—that His audience could easily picture and recall. This storytelling method makes the lessons stick in the hearts and minds of listeners long after hearing them. Parables also provoke curiosity, leaving room for reflection and encouraging people to uncover their deeper meanings over time.

How can I teach parables to kids?

Teaching parables to kids can be both meaningful and fun! Start by reading the story together, using a kid-friendly Bible or an adapted summary to ensure they can understand it. Follow up with hands-on crafts, interactive activities, or storytelling games to help bring the parable to life. For example, a craft like a 3D barn for the Parable of the Rich Fool or a foldable grass scene for the Lost Sheep helps kids connect with the lesson on a deeper level. Story-based games, like role-playing or creating comic strips, are also excellent ways to reinforce the message in a fun, engaging way.

Are all parables easy to understand?

While some parables, like the Parable of the Mustard Seed, are straightforward and simple enough for kids to grasp, others require more thought and explanation. Stories like the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant or the Shrewd Manager include cultural nuances or deeper spiritual truths that may need to be unpacked through discussion. With children, it’s helpful to focus on parables with clear and relatable lessons, using storytelling tools, questions, and crafts to guide them toward the message.

Why We Should Teach the Parables

Parables are a timeless and powerful way to introduce kids (and adults!) to the teachings of Jesus. These simple yet profound stories engage the imagination while imparting valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, faith, and God’s Kingdom. For children, parables offer an accessible way to understand big spiritual truths through familiar imagery and relatable situations.

By teaching parables, we’re not just sharing Bible stories; we’re helping children connect with God’s truths in a way they can carry into their own lives. Adding hands-on activities and crafts makes these lessons even more memorable, ensuring that the meaning behind the story stays with them as they grow in their faith.

Stay tuned for creative crafts and activities inspired by these parables, designed to make learning about Jesus’ stories an exciting and meaningful experience for kids of all ages.

The holiday season is here, and that means it’s time for your family elf to make their festive return! Whether your little guy has been visiting your home for years or you’re welcoming a new Christmas elf from the North Pole this season, we’ve got the perfect accessory for all their holiday mischief: a Printable Elf Delivery Box Prop Set! These elf-sized boxes will add excitement and magic to your elf’s stay, allowing them to play the role of a mini holiday messenger.

Included in this adorable printable set are four delivery boxes with fun and whimsical labels like “Elf Express,” “ElfMart,” “Elfazon,” and more. The boxes even feature “fragile,” “priority mail,” and “express delivery” markings for an extra touch of realism. All you need is cardstock, a printer, scissors, and some tape (or glue), and your tiny elf will have a special delivery service up and running!

Here are some fun ways to incorporate these delivery boxes into your family elf’s adventures this holiday season:

1. Special Delivery from Santa’s Workshop

Your cheerful companion from the North Pole can start off their holiday visit with a surprise delivery straight from Santa’s workshop! Imagine waking up to find your little elf standing next to a box filled with a note from Santa, a small toy, or some Christmas crafts for the kids. You can even include a letter from Santa himself, telling the kids they’ve made the nice list!

2. Elfazon Prime Orders Have Arrived!

Has your merry messenger been shopping online at Elfazon? Let them deliver tiny surprises in their little delivery box! One day, the box could hold a single M&M as a sweet treat (such a funny gift), and the next, it might be filled with a fun Christmas-themed eraser. You can even switch things up with mini activities or a little message from Santa. The possibilities for these elf-sized deliveries are endless!

3. Christmas Countdown Treats

Make each morning a fun surprise by having your holiday mischief-maker bring daily Christmas countdown treats. Each day, your miniature elf can deliver a box with a small note inside. On the note could be a clue to a hidden gift in the house. This idea works perfectly for a countdown to Christmas or as part of an advent calendar activity.

4. Secret Holiday Missions

Your tiny scout can deliver a top-secret mission each day, encouraging the kids to complete a holiday-themed activity! These missions could be anything from “bake cookies for the neighbors” to “make Christmas cards for family members.” Your jolly sprite will be there, standing proudly next to their little delivery box with the mission tucked safely inside, adding a little mystery and magic to your festive season.

5. Holiday Package Mix-Up

Whoops! It looks like your little visitor has mixed up the packages. For example, one box might contain a pair of miniature shoes left in the kitchen, while a paper clip ends up in the bathroom. Kids can have fun ‘finding’ these misplaced items each morning, solving the mix-up, and putting the deliveries where they really belong. This playful hide-and-seek game keeps the Christmas elf trying their best to get the deliveries right while adding some festive fun!

6.Mini Gift Wrapping Station

Transform one of the delivery boxes into a mini gift wrapping station. Your Christmas companion can be caught in the act of wrapping a tiny gift, with a roll of elf-sized wrapping paper, mini scissors, and tape. The kids will get a kick out of seeing their little friend hard at work, and you can add in some DIY fun by letting them help “finish” wrapping the gift.

7. Elf Express for the Pets

Don’t forget the family pets! Your holiday helper can make special deliveries for the pets in your household. Whether it’s a new cat tag or a dog treat, the box can be filled with a little something to brighten your pet’s day. You might even catch your festive elf giving the pet a friendly pat or sitting in the box themselves!

8. ElfMart Stocking Stuffer Surprise

Create an “ElfMart” scene with your yuletide elf delivering mini stocking stuffers. The kids can “shop” from the delivery box for things like holiday stickers, tiny trinkets, or festive erasers. It’s a fun way to spread out stocking stuffers across the season while letting your tiny scout add to the holiday fun!

9. Letters from the North Pole

One of the boxes could arrive directly from Santa’s North Pole headquarters! Your red guy can leave special notes or updates from Santa throughout the month. Perhaps Santa wants to congratulate the kids for their good behavior or remind them to do something kind for someone else. The delivery box is a great way to keep the magic alive all season long.

For these ideas, gather the following supplies:

  • Elf-Sized Delivery Box Printables
  • Christmas Elf Doll
  • Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your fun printables)
  • Scissors
  • Glue or Tape
  • Printer (Low-cost pick)
  • Various supplies found around the home

With these creative ideas, your little visitor is sure to become the star of your holiday celebrations! These elf-sized delivery boxes add an extra layer of fun and excitement to your Christmas elf’s stay, giving them plenty of opportunities to deliver holiday cheer (and maybe a little mischief) each day. Get ready to create new holiday traditions and magical memories with your family elf this Christmas season!

Magic Tricks for Christmas Elves

Now that we have a list of resources, let’s dive into some exciting ideas for how your family elf can use these props to delight your family.

1. The Classic Sword Trick

Using the printable 3D foldable cube and swords, your holiday elf can set up the ultimate magic trick: the sword-in-the-box illusion! Place the elf beside the cube with the swords ready to be inserted. You can make it even more dramatic by adding some toy audience members to cheer on this daring act. Kids will be amazed when they see their North Pole Friend pulling off this classic stunt.

Bonus Tip: Add a little note from the Santa’s helper saying, “Don’t try this at home!”

2. Card Tricks Galore

Nothing says magician like a deck of cards, and your elf will love pulling off some sleight-of-hand tricks with the printable cards included in this set. Set up your little guy with a few cards in hand, as though they’re mid-performance, and scatter the rest around as if they’ve just finished a dazzling trick. You could even have your Yuletide ccout “predict” a family member’s favorite card! Grab these miniature Elf-sized playing cards for an entire 52-card deck.

Idea: Use a “human-sized” deck so the kids can join in. If your kids are old enough, encourage them to play along by picking a card and letting the cheerful companion reveal it the next day!

3. Pulling a Bunny from the Hat

The classic “bunny in the top hat” trick is a must for any magician elf! Use the printable bunny and top hat to create this adorable scene. Set the tiny elf beside the hat with the bunny popping out, and watch as your kids light up with excitement. It’s a sweet and simple magic moment to surprise your family with during the holiday season.

Pro Tip: For an extra surprise, move a stuffed animal bunny around each day as if it’s hopping out of the hat to explore your home!

4. Mustache and Top Hat Disguise

What’s a magician without their signature look? With the included mustache and top hat, your mischief-maker can get into character! Position your elf in front of a mirror or with a magic wand to complete the transformation. This disguise is not only fun but can also be used in a variety of magic tricks throughout the season.

Idea: Gather your own disguises from around the house including glasses, a top hat, and/or mustache. Invite your child to dress up during the day to match the Yuletide Elf.

5. Magic Cube Mysteries

The 3D foldable cube is one of the standout props in this set. Beyond the sword-in-the-box trick, this cube can be used for other magical illusions! Have your elf “disappear” small objects (like candy canes or ornaments) inside the cube and reveal them again the next day. It’s a great way to keep the mystery and excitement going all season long.

Idea: Let your kids help by choosing what should disappear inside the magic cube and see if the red guy can make it reappear!

6. The Magic Egg Trick

Turn a simple egg into a surprise with this magical trick! Have your kids sprinkle glitter on a regular egg as part of your elf’s “magic spell.” The next day, the ordinary egg will “magically” transform into a Kinder Egg! It’s a fun and sweet surprise that keeps the magic alive.

Idea: Involve your kids by letting them pick the glitter color and sprinkle it themselves, then watch their excitement when the magical egg transforms overnight!

Ahoy, matey! This holiday season, let your Christmas elf sail the high seas of imagination with a swashbuckling pirate adventure! A pirate-themed elf can bring loads of treasure-hunting fun and creativity into your home, making the holiday season even more magical for kids and adults alike. From scavenger hunts to pirate props, there are endless ways to make your elf’s visit something to look forward to.

In this post, we’ll share some ideas for transforming your Christmas companion into a festive pirate and setting up exciting treasure-filled surprises around your home!

Pirate Props for Your Elf

printable pirate props for elf

Transforming your holiday elf into a pirate is as simple as crafting some fun, themed props! A pirate sword, parrot, flag, hat, and treasure map are all you need to get started. These items are easy to print and assemble, turning your tiny elf into the captain of the ship! Set your mischief-maker up with different props, like holding a sword, wearing a pirate hat, or standing by a mini treasure chest, ready to lead your kids on a new adventure.

Here’s how you can use these props creatively:

  • Pirate Sword & Flag: Position your holiday helper on a shelf, table, or hanging rope with their pirate sword raised and a tiny pirate flag in hand, as if they’ve just taken over the living room!
  • Parrot Companion: Attach the mini parrot to your elf’s shoulder for some extra pirate flair, and move them to a new hideout every day.
  • Treasure Map: Leave a small treasure map with clues that lead to hidden treasures (like treats or small toys) for your kids to find. It’s a great way to keep them engaged with the holiday magic.

Scavenger Hunt with Pirate Riddles

What’s a pirate without a treasure hunt for Christmas? Bring the excitement of a pirate’s quest for buried treasure into your home by setting up a Pirate-themed scavenger hunt! A 10-clue scavenger hunt filled with rhyming riddles will have your kids following clues to discover where the loot is hidden.

Here are some fun pirate-themed notes you can include in a pirate elf theme:

  • “The treasure is close, you’re almost there, look where you keep your warmest wear.”
  • “Yo Ho, matey, the next clue’s in sight, near the place where you rest at night.”
  • “The seas are rough and so is this cloth, look where you dry after you wash off.”

These rhyming clues will lead your kids around the house, decoding the map and collecting treasure along the way. The final stop? A foldable 3D treasure box filled with gold coins, jewels, or Christmas treats!

Setting Up a Treasure Hunt with Household Items

Your elf’s pirate adventure isn’t complete without some buried treasure! You can make the scavenger hunt even more fun by hiding items like:

  • Plastic gold coins or faux jewels
  • Wrapped candies or chocolates
  • Small toys or trinkets
  • Pirate stickers or temporary tattoos

Hide these treasures around the house, so your elf can “discover” them each morning. Or, set up a treasure chest and have your kids follow the scavenger hunt to find it. The excitement of uncovering hidden treasures will bring a sense of wonder and adventure to their daily elf encounters.

Get Creative with the Pirate Elf Adventure

Beyond scavenger hunts and treasure chests, there are plenty of ways to enhance the pirate elf adventure. Here are a few extra ideas to keep the magic alive:

  • Pirate Ship Creation: Build a small pirate ship using cardboard or blocks for your tiny scout to sail in. It could be docked at the kitchen counter one day, and by the Christmas tree the next!
  • Message in a Bottle: Leave tiny scrolls or notes with pirate-themed messages from your little friend inside small bottles, encouraging the kids to find the next clue.
  • Walk the Plank: Set up a mini plank for your elf to “walk,” perhaps leading to the treasure they’ve been hiding!

Gather Your Supplies

  • Christmas Elf Doll
  • Cardstock or paper (this is the best cardstock which is perfect for your fun printables)
  • Scissors
  • Glue or Tape
  • Printer (Low-cost pick)
  • Miscellaneous props and resources around the home: Chocolate coins, jewels, treasures, and more.
