Teacher's samples of the book covers or card designs.
To make these Easter gift cards or booklets you will need the following supplies: typing paper, home printer, pencil for tracing, white watercolor paper, a set of watercolors and a black permanent fine tipped pen for outlining the designs.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Print out the black and white template below, enlarging the patterns as much as possible on a white piece of typing paper.
Cut out the designs carefully.
Fold a piece of watercolor paper in half lengthwise and trace around each card or the one design of your own choosing. Make sure the folded edge of the paper is even with the vertical, left side of each card design.
Cut out the design leaving the folded left half sides intact so that the flower cover opens and has both an identical front and back.
Trace the inside features of each Spring flower by placing the white watercolor paper over the designs while holding the papers against a back-lit window or on top of a light box.
Watercolor the flowers however you want to with either jewel tone colors or pastel hues.
Insert extra pages inside the covers and staple these in place on the edge of the left hand fold.
Copy a lovely Easter poem or two and a private message about the holiday or person you are remembering.
Three different floral designs for the Easter project shown above include: daffodils and tulips.
To make a heart filled window cling, you will need the following supplies: tissue papers, black construction paper, a white crayon, a permanent ink marker, newsprint, white school glue, scissors, a home computer and paper for the printer.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Print out the pattern for the window "cling" decoration.
Cut it out and then trace around all of it's parts on top of a piece of black construction paper using a white crayon so that the lines will show up.
Cut out the window "tracery" carefully.
Carefully cut large enough tissues to glue behind each opening so that these look like "stained glass.'
If you like, you can repeat step 2 and then glue a second black pattern to the backside of the heart window to give it two finished sides.
To add the verse, "God Is Love" place the finished project face up on top of a newsprint paper to protect the table surface. Then use a permanent black marker to write the scripture in the center.
Tape the window cling to the Sunday School classroom window.
Pattern for the heart shapes cut from black construction paper.
The sample lamb has determined features. I gave his ears a bit of pink color with a pencil as well...
Construction paper lambs may be used any time of the year inside of a Sunday school class. Use them for bulletin board decorations or on greeting cards.
Teachers may also wish to include scriptures along with the lamb crafts. Here are a few that could be included inside of a card or on a bulletin board.
Revelation 5:12
John 1:29
John 10:27-28
John 10:11
Step-by-Step Instructions:
To make a little paper lamb using heart shapes you will need to print out the template below.
Cut out all of the shapes and trace around these on top of your paper of choice.
I used plain white paper and then later drew in the features of the lamb shown here in the photo. However, you could choose to glue on additional cotton or use a decorative ivory on white scrap paper alternatively.
Give the lamb some pasture to feed on using green colored papers and blue for the sky beyond.
The Lord's Prayer in English pasted between the teacher's sample of praying hands.
Jesus instructed his people to pray like this, "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." Matthew 6:9-24 KJV Take the time and effort to trace around each student's left and right hands to make their "praying hands" unique to this craft! They will be proud to show off his or her own hands to their family members afterwards. Then print out The Lord's Prayer printables below in their own language. Cut out the printable in a neat rectangular shape and accordion fold this prayer. Paste each end to both the left and right inside paper palms of the hand cut-outs. Parents or guardians can read and point to the prayer text as they recite it along with their child at night before bedtime. This practice teaches Bible memory work, word recognition, quality time spent together and most important how to pray to God respectfully.
The Current Selection of The Lord's Prayer Printables are in The Following Languages: Chinese, Spanish, English, French, Hindi, Syriac and Zulu. Teachers may request additional languages to be below included below in the comment form.

Both the cut-out black silhouette and the pastel painted background are assembled in this teacher's sample. The silhouette is stapled on top of the sunset scenery.
If you have four siblings in a family or at least as many in a Sunday school, each child can pick one of the four templates to make in this Christmas series. A teacher may assign a different template representing the Christmas story to different students if they prefer this kind of assignment instead.
Supply List:
standard sized construction papers: one black and one white
choose one of four templates below to print
colored chalks or pastels
inexpensive hair spray in can or a fixative for pastels may be used
scissors
white crayon or a white pencil or chalk to use when tracing around the stencils onto black construction paper
The old old story by our 5th grade Sunday school class. - Nearly two thousand years ago a baby was born in a stable in Bethlehem. This baby was Christ.
Children long ago designed these silhouette pictures for their Sunday school classroom wall. Now you can make them too.
Below are the templates for the Christmas Silhouettes. Children may print these out on a home computer or at their church. Cut out the outline of each motif, trace around it using a white led pencil (or crayon) on top of a black sheet of construction paper. Look at the finished versions above to make certain that all of the details are correctly cut out.
Color the white construction paper with chalks or pastels, blending these together with your fingers or a soft paper towel to make a lovely sunset. Spray the chalks with inexpensive hairspray to adhere the dust particles to the paper better. Staple the black paper-cuts onto chalk backgrounds. Now you can make a series of lovely illustrations for your Sunday school classroom this Christmas.
The wisemen were guided by a star to find the new King, a special King of kings.
The shepherds are the first to hear about Jesus, because they are the shepherds watching over a very special flock of sheep. These sheep were used in the temple for slaughter to atone for the sins of men. The angels are announcing that Jesus, lamb of God would take away the sin's of the world and there would no longer be a need of the symbolic lambs of sacrifice.
Mary, Joseph, and the three kings visit Jesus later in the story.
Angels with instruments announce the Messiah's birth to the shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields.
Each Popsicle stick is labeled with a book from the Bible.
For this simple craft you will need a clean recycled can; the lid is not necessary. Cover this can with one layer of masking tape around all of it's sides. The masking tape makes the surface of any can or even plastic container rough enough to except white glue plus other materials like paper, clay, fabric and yarn. In this instance you will be gluing yarn to the surface to transform it into something more attractive. This process is good for young students because it develops small motor skills. It also uses up a material that plenty of ordinary folks have on hand and may no longer use to knit with.
The second half of this craft involves the painting of Popsicle sticks in brilliant colors. Use a quick, inexpensive paint for this project. Something that is commonly used by school aged children. After the paint colors have dried, use a permanent ink marker of some kind to label every stick with the titles of the book of the Bible.
To play the game of laying down the sticks in the order of the Bible books may be made a bit more interesting by playing with two students at once. Whoever gets them in the correct order first wins the game!
The necessity of memorizing the order of books in the Bible is all about being able to research scriptures quickly while a pastor, priest, or teacher is lecturing or preaching. Young students should not be made to feel guilty for not having this skill; it is merely helpful to their own personal study. However, it does make the taking of notes and comprehension of scripture easier in the long run.
Left, the recycled can is covered with yarn for a decorative feature. Right, see the wooden, labeled tongue depressors or Popsicle sticks in the can.
"And God said, "Never again will I curse the ground because of man or send a flood to destroy all living things, even though mankind's heart is evil from childhood." And God blessed Noah and his family saying, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth." Genesis 8:20-22
Noah's family rejoices once the have finally the ark and set
their feet on dry land! To make a mixed media collage similar to this
one, you will need all kinds of supplies: white tacky glue, foam core board, colorful foam sheets,
embroidery floss, water color pens or paint, a home printer, and
brown/tan paper to print on or draw on.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Cut a piece of foam core board to any size you wish to make your mixed media collage. Foam core board is very rigid and won't warp as easily as cardboard while working with glue.
I chose to base this mixed media collage on an illustration by Dore. In our blog here there are many subjects to choose from. I chose to print the figures of Noah, his wife and children on a beige paper. Then I cut out the parts of that print to fit inside of the collage of the ark, pasting them down of a rigid, strong piece of foam core.
Then I sketched the outlines of the larger elements of my design like: the ark, the swirling sands and sky and then the flow of the rainbow colored foam tiles.
Glue in the embroidery floss for the sand and sky in a swirling pattern. I chose to contrast very bold colors: blue, red, orange, hot pink and yellow, as accents against the majority of the other elements like the ground, clothing of the people and ark, in a soft neutral color palette: tans, browns, beige etc...
I cut the tiny mosaic tiles from craft foam as these were glued down in rows.
Then after giving the floss and tiles plenty of time to dry, I used a brown pen to draw on the woodgraining of the ark and small window.
Next, I applied a soft tan shading to the skin tones of Noah, wife, sons and daughters.
Left, the rainbow, a sign God sets in the sky to remind himself not to flood all of the earth. Right, the flesh of the people is colored a soft desert sand color with a large pen tip. The sands beneath their feet are beige embroidery floss.
Left, the contrast between textures is subtle but effective. Right, the tiny tiles continue the from the sky and down in front of the ark.
