Sunday School Craft - Jesus Heals the Blind Man Mask

My template originally came from one I found on Pinterest, but I tweaked it. Your Sunday School class will love this "Blind Man" mask! This one is really interactive and illustrative of the story, which you shall see if you continue reading. . .

You will need: cardstock, brad fasteners, scissors, an Exacto-Knife, and crayons.

If you scroll to the bottom you will see how I tweaked the original pattern. For the frowny "blind" face, I covered his eyes with the Bible verse that tells the story of Jesus healing the blind man. I also added a half circle shape, so you could know where to cut on his face to get the right shape.

Next, I cut out the happy face.

Then, with a pen, I poked through the hole in the frowny part. . .

and through the happy face. . .

Next, I cut the eyes of the happy face out with an Exacto-Knife. You should probably do this part ahead of time for the children in your class.

Then, I colored both parts.

Then, I stuck them together with a brad fastener. (Front)

Two finished masks! You can attach popsicle sticks to the bottom if you want, but the reason I didn't was because the frowny part stays up better if you hold the mask on both sides.

This is the part that I find REALLY cool!

With these masks you can actually BE the blind man!

First, you can't see. . .

Then, you flip the blind part up and you can see! Talk about interactive learning!

UPDATE: For some reason, everyone is confused about the templates.....These are the templates below, People! You just right click on them, copy image, and then paste them into your favorite word processor or paint program and hit "print." Alternatively, you can right click on them, save the image to your desktop, open the image and select "print."

I have tried to comment as such, but for some reason Blogger won't let me comment on my own posts....no idea why. Anyways, there is no reason for everyone to be so confused.

Sunday School Craft - Coin in Fish's Mouth

 Today, we are going to make this "Coin in Fish's Mouth" craft. Who's excited?

I found this little fishy on a Google search for "fish coloring page." I added the verse Matthew 17:27.

You need: cardstock, (scrap paper--optional), crayons, glue, silver coins, (and tissue paper--optional)

So, basically, what you do is print out the fish picture (last picture in this post), and then cut a slit along the bottom lip of the fish with an Exact-o-Knife. (Do this part before-hand if your children are too young to use a knife...which, I'm guessing they probably will be.)

Then, with a blank piece of cardstock (or a piece of scrap paper, like I have below), glue the way I have below: One line of glue down the left-hand side; one line of glue along the bottom, and then quite a bit of glue on the top and right-hand side. If you can't see, click on the picture to make it bigger.

Then, stick the picture on top and press the two sheets together.

You can either have the kids color them with crayons, or you can cut pieces of tissue paper and glue those on like scales. Then, slip a coin into your fish's mouth. The plastic coins we had on-hand from a prior craft, but you could also use those chocolate coins that are wrapped in tin foil. The verse does specifically say "silver coin," and most of those chocolate ones are wrapped in gold paper. If you are a stickler like me, I would unwrap each one, turn the foil inside out, and re-wrap them!

...But that's just me!

Have fun!

Sunday School Craft - Lazarus, Come Forth! Tomb

Who knew a resurrected man could be so cute!

I found the graphics for this on Pinterest and Google, but the door was way too small, so I had to blow it up, and by trial and error, I got it to fit the tomb! I added the verse at the top.

You need: cardstock, brad fasteners, scissors, and crayons (except, I didn't color my example...oops.).

If you notice the last two pictures, you will see that there are two doors and only one tomb. That was to save paper. Simply print out half as many door pages as you print tombs.

First off, you need to cut out your door. Then, you will need to figure out where you want to put the fastener. I put mine halfway down on the right side of the door. Take a pen, and poke a hole through that place.

Then, hold the door up to the tomb and make a mark through the hole in the door onto the tomb.

Then, poke a hole in the tomb through that mark.

Then, put a fastener through the door. . .

. . .and also through the tomb.

Flatten the fastener on the back.

When you "roll" the door away, Lazarus can come forth!

You can have your little people color these. The kids at my church really loved this one. One little boy (my three-year-old nephew) kept saying, "Wook! Wazawus is a mummy!"

...Hey, at least he learned the name "Wazawus"!

The End!

Sunday School Craft - Jesus Healed 10 Lepers

Okay, I totally ripped this one off from Pinterest.

You just need paper (I used cardstock), and crayons.

On Pinterest, they had hand-drawn/written the entire thing. All I did was type the wording into a Publisher document and then trace my hands around the words. You are welcome to print these out if you need them! I did "Jesus Healed 10 Men..." on one side, and then "...but only 1 said 'Thank You!'" on the back.

Just so's you know....All the parents LOVED this one, and I was like...uhhh...What about those other crafts that I really worked at??? 

Haha! Anyways, it's a cute idea! :) And it wasn't mine!
