The Elf on the Shelf in a Balloon

For many of these easy deas, you’ll need an elf that can bend. Make yours bendable to enjoy these ideas with our Bendable Tutorial for The Elf on the Shelf.

Balloon Stuffing Tool

Anyone can do this easy Balloon idea for The Elf on the Shelf. No fancy tools required! This DIY Balloon Stuffer Machine costs next to nothing, and you can use it year-round for fantastic gifts. Use it to stuff your holiday helper in a balloon for a fun arrival surprise, or stuff a balloon with candy for a great party favor!

You only need a few supplies to stuff The Elf on the Shelf in a balloon:

The Elf on the Shelf
Christmas Balloons (You’ll want a clear balloon so the kids can see the goodies inside! We went with this Christmas Balloon set)
Optional: Black Sharpie
Optional: Your candy of choice (we used Reese’s Cups)

Now for the two magic gadgets! To stuff the little red guy in a balloon, you’ll need a Balloon Stuffing Tool and a Hand Held Balloon Pump (guys, you’re going to need this balloon pump around the house for parties – it made blowing up my daughter’s birthday balloons so easy and quick!)

Balloon Stuffing Tool (aka canning funnel)
Hand Held Balloon Pump

The best part about these tools? You’ll be able to use them all year to make incredibly affordable and easy balloons filled with gifts! Fill balloons with candy, rolled-up dollar bills, small presents, and more!

How to Stuff a Balloon with The Elf on the Shelf

Follow these simple, step-by-step directions to learn how to stuff a balloon with a Christmas Elf! There’s two important things worth sharing. First, this is incredibly easy. Like, crazy easy. Plus, the balloon stuffing tool is incredibly affordable for all my frugal friends out there! Second, your kids will become obsessed with this easy Balloon idea for a family elf. You’ll have envious moms wondering, “How on earth did you do that?!” Send them here to share your wisdom. They won’t realize how easy it is until they try it themselves! Let’s get into the tutorial. Read on for one of the best Ideas — The Christmas Elf in a balloon!

How do you get The Elf on the Shelf in a balloon?

First, grab your balloon and start stretching it out. Make sure to stretch both the neck and the body of the balloon. You’re going to fit an entire Scout Elf in a balloon, so the balloon needs to have room!

Second, use your Balloon Pump to put the neck of your balloon on the neck of the pump. Pump up the balloon and deflate it. Repeat this a few times. This continues to stretch your balloon so you can easily fit your family elf inside.

Third, remove your balloon from the balloon pump. Wrap the neck of the balloon around your Balloon Stuffing Tool (aka canning funnel). Pull the neck of the balloon up the neck of the canning funnel. Make sure to pull the balloon up as much as possible — it’ll help you fit everything into the balloon in the next step!

Next, you have the option to add chocolates to the inside of the balloon to give the balloon weight. The Elf will likely still move around, but the chocolates are a fun extra treat for your child to enjoy when they pop the balloon!

Next, fold your Elf in on itself, similar to the way it arrived in the box. Wrap its arms around itself and fold its legs, like it’s sitting! Begin to slide the bottom of your elf doll into the balloon until everything but its head is inside.

Then, work the rest of the balloon up the face of Elf by removing the canning funnel. You’ll need to use your hands and a little patience for this part! Only the tip of the Elf’s hat will be sticking out at this point.

Return to your hand-held balloon pump, slide your balloon onto the pump, and start pumping. Don’t over-inflate the balloon — if you do, it could pop before morning arrives.

Tie off the neck of the balloon. Optionally, you can use a Sharpie to write a message from the Elf on the balloon. “Help me” and “I’m here!” are a couple of good message ideas for the Arrival of The Elf on the Shelf!

Finally, you’re done! You did this easy elf idea in a balloon DIY, and it looks like it took a lot of effort too!

So, what now!? Once your child pops Elf, you might be wondering, “How do you take The Elf on the Shelf off the floor?” Easy! Use our magic grippers printable to pick up your North Pole Friend.

The Elf on the Shelf Arrival Ideas

This idea is perfect for a First Night Idea for The Elf on the Shelf. We shared many Elf Ideas for Arrival, but we think this one is just adorable. It’s as if Elf floated down from the North Pole inside a balloon. You can use a Sharpie Marker and write “I’m Back!” or “Help Me!” on the outside of the balloon. We filled up other balloons around Elf and kept the clear balloons as the balloon Scout Elf chose to arrive in. That way, the kids can see their North Pole visitors!

A few other ideas for arrival include…

The Elf on the Shelf Christmas Tradition

The Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and an elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/she goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror, or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, that the Elf is not touched each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve.

How to Play 5 Second Games

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

September 28, 2024 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Take a game night to the next level with this fun 5-second game printable. Each fast-paced party game printable set comes with 156 five-second question cards. This equates to good fun and continuous game time for family and friends!

Do you love to play games with family and friends? If this is the case, then you’re going to love the challenge of 5 Second Games. This mental exercise game isn’t invented by me. However, I do have several versions to complete the entertainment for your themed party.

What is a 5-second game?

The 5 Second Game is a fast-paced and fun word association game. It requires quick thinking and fast talking. In this fun and fast-paced game, you have 5 seconds to come up with three one-word answers. Often, a five-second game is commonly mistaken as a Name 3 game. This is because you have five seconds to quickly name three things.

5 Second Games takes speed and sharp thinking to get points. They’re great for parties, family get-togethers, or just a fun way to spend some extra time with activities between transitions.

What are the 5-second rules?

The 5-second game is a good time. It’s memorable and fun for all. The instructions for this fast-paced game are simple. You have five seconds to name three things in this fun word association game. Sounds easy, right? Well, while the questions are simple, you need to be careful. This quick guessing game leads to a tongue-tie and easy answers turn into silly answers and lots of laughter.

Generally, the rules of a 5-second game are simple. Take a look at these two options for 5-second game directions.

Objective:

Be the team or individual to score the most points by giving three answers in five seconds.

Option 1:

Sit players in a circle. The youngest player is first in the “Hot Seat,” and the play will move to the right. The player to the left of the Hot Seat player draws a game card and reads it aloud. All cards begin with “Name 3” followed by random categories. For example, the Card may read, “Name 3 ice cream flavors”. As soon as the card is read, the first player answers 3 flavors of ice cream in 5 seconds or under. If you say 3 correct answers before the timer, you get one point. To keep track of points, keep the card in front of you. If the player in the hot seat is only able to name one or two answers before 5 seconds are up, they get no points, and the play moves to the right. For the next attempt, the second player gets 5 seconds to try to answer the same question. The tricky part is that the new player in the Hot Seat cannot use any answers that were previously used for that card. Play continues to the next player and around the circle until someone can name 3 in 5 seconds and wins a point. The person to the right of the original player then becomes the new player in the Hot Seat and gets to start with a different card. The player to their left draws a Card and reads it aloud. And so the play continues.

Option 2:

Play the same as option 1 but allow the game to continue. For example, each person after the first hot seat player must name 3 ice cream flavors without repeating any flavors listed before. This can continue for a while.

The end of the game arrives when you run out of cards (or the end of the party – there are a lot of questions here!) Winners will have the most points. You can have individual winners or team winners. Just make sure you have a prize!

Tip: Consider splitting into smaller groups for a large group of people. Since ridiculous answers can be debated, consider having a game host and team captains for each group. The host (as well as the input from team captains) can help decide what is an acceptable answer and quickly omit funny answers.

What are good 5-second game questions?

Five-second games require you to name three things within, you guessed it, five seconds. This requires quick thinking and fast-talking as you react quickly to incoming questions.

Name three countries in Europe
Name three famous actors
Name three colors of the rainbow
Name three items you would find in a kitchen
Name three members of the Avengers
Name three animals that live in the sea
Name three body organs
Name three Florida cities
Name three English words ending in “ly”
Name three sports teams from different countries
Name three famous Michaels
Name three breeds of dogs

The difficulty of the 5-second rule questions can vary based on the game set you choose – junior (or young kids) all the way to adults. In addition, for five-second game questions that have many answers, the question can be passed on to player after player in a game circle.

What do I need for a 5 second game?

The supplies needed for a five-second game are few. you need 5-second game questions like the ones mentioned above and a timer. It’s important that your timer displays seconds and not only minutes. Most smartphones will have a timer you can use to count down from five. if this is not available on your cellphone then pick up a countdown timer with seconds.

Instead of everyone yelling stop, consider using a sound effect when the time stops. This can be accomplished with a timer that makes noise or a game buzzer.

A laminator is an optional supply for your five-second games. If you laminate the set using laminating sheets, you can keep it for a long time. After multiple uses, your cards will still look brand new. After my husband and kids, my laminator is my best friend. A must-have in most homes!

Once you purchase Etsy Digital Downloads the next thing you want to do is print a digital print. Follow these steps for how to download your digital files from your Etsy account and how to print digital art at Staples.

Do you feel like me? Going to the stationary store and customizing a digital print is a thing of the past. If you want to stay seated on your couch and have access to 1,000s of digital download prints follow me as I take you through the steps of finding, downloading, saving, and printing Etsy Digital Downloads.

Etsy Digital Files

An Etsy digital download is any product that you purchase and download without a physical copy. This can come as a DOC, PDF, PNG, JPEG or even SVG file.

If you have made a purchase of digital files on Etsy, it is important to know where to find your print shop digital downloads. Guess what. You can’t download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad or Android app. Right now you cannot download a digital purchase through the Etsy app. However, after your purchase it is really easy to access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

If you are purchasing digital files, I suggest having an Etsy account and not checking out as a guest. Digital files are available once your payment is confirmed. If you made your purchase online, give it a few minutes for your Paypal or credit card to process.

To access your digital downloads after purchase, in your Etsy account you will see a “View your files” link which goes to the Downloads page. Here, you can download all the files associated with your order. Look for the button, “download files.”

Etsy Digital Download Help

With everything online, it is easy to run into trouble. Working off a major retailer like Etsy means there isn’t always someone available at the help desk. Let’s answer some digital files frequently asked questions for Etsy.

How do I know if I purchased a digital download?

If you’re unsure if you’ve purchased a Digital Item, you can always go back to the listing page. If it is a digital download, you should see an “Instant Download” message on the images for the item.

How to download Etsy digital files on iPhone, iPad, or Android App

Right now you cannot use the Etsy app to print or download Etsy digital files. Instead, access Etsy digital downloads on a non-mobile desktop computer or using your mobile browser.

How do I access Etsy digital files from my account?

To access your digital downloads from your Etsy account:

Sign in to Etsy.com and go to Your account.
Go to Purchases and reviews.
Next to the order, select Download Files. This goes to the Downloads page for all the files attached to your order.

On the download page, you will see the Etsy digital download file size. Each digital product is a different size.

Once you have downloaded your digital files, you can take the next steps for printing as you would for any file on your computer.

I don’t have an Etsy account

Sigh. I get it. It is common to have the desire to checkout as a guest. If you are purchasing something like a digital file you want access to forever, check out with an Etsy account in the future.

The good thing, is you are not a lost cause. If you do not have an Etsy account you can download your digital files from your inbox. Look for an email from transaction@etsy.com in your inbox. Be sure to also check your spam or junk inbox and your social or promotions tabs.

Contact the Seller

If you continue to have trouble with your Etsy digital downloads, you can contact the seller using Etsy Messages. Supply the email address you used for purchase as well as the order number (if you have it.) I would also be helpful to tell the seller the product you purchased and the time and day. This will allow the Etsy seller to quickly access your order and confirm your purchase.

How do I print Etsy Digital downloads

Once you have accessed your Etsy digital downloads save them to your computer. Then next thing you will want to do is set up your printer to print digital downloads.

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

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

September 26, 2024 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Parenting, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Sunday School

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Crafting the Beatitudes for Kids: An Interactive Paper Craft

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

September 24, 2024 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Discover a fun, interactive way to teach kids the Beatitudes with this adorable Bee-Attitude Craft and Bible Lesson. Spark joy and faith in young hearts as they learn and create using Matthew 5.

The Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5:1-12, are among the most profound teachings of Jesus, offering guidance on living a life that reflects the kingdom of heaven. The Beatitudes are the first of a series of teachings from Jesus, called The Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon of the Mount is broken down into a number of teachings and sections. The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most significant and comprehensive teachings of Jesus Christ, found in the New Testament of the Bible, primarily in the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5 through 7. It is considered by many as the core of Christian ethical teaching.

This sermon presents a radical call to discipleship and presents the ideals of the kingdom of heaven, contrasting with the legalistic practices of the time. Jesus delivers this sermon on a mountainside to his disciples and a large crowd, hence the name “Sermon on the Mount.”

Here are some key elements and teachings found within the Sermon on the Mount:

The Beatitudes
Salt and Light
Fulfillment of the Law
Teachings on Anger, Lust, Divorce, and Oaths
Love for Enemies
Acts of Righteousness
The Lord’s Prayer
Treasures in Heaven
Do Not Worry
Judging Others
Ask, Seek, Knock
The Golden Rule
The Narrow and Wide Gates
A Tree and Its Fruit
The Wise and Foolish Builders

Today we will focus on section one of the opening of Jesus’ message – The 8 Beatitudes and their meaning. Teaching the values of Jesus’ Beatitudes to children in Sunday School or Bible Lessons can seem challenging, but incorporating crafts into learning can make these biblical principles accessible and engaging even for the youngest hearts. A particularly effective craft for this purpose is the Beatitudes Coloring Wheel, perfect for Christian schools, Sunday school classrooms, Bible studies, or family time.

Let’s look at The Beatitudes for Kids simplified.

Understanding the Beatitudes and Their Meaning

The Beatitudes are eight blessings pronounced by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes list begins in Matthew 5: 1-12. Each Beatitude begins with “Blessed are…” and promises the kingdom of heaven to those who embody the virtues Jesus describes. They offer a wealth of wisdom that can be broken down into easy explanations for Children’s church.

The chapter begins…

“Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,and he began to teach them. He said…” (verse 1-2)

Then the list of Beatitudes is introduced.

Here’s a brief overview of each as well as a simplified meaning for kids:

The Poor in Spirit

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (verse 3)

Explanation

People who don’t have much, like food or clothes, and those who feel something is missing inside and know they really need God’s love, are both considered poor. They’re promised a wonderful gift: a place in heaven. This refers to those who recognize their need for God. It teaches humility and dependence on God’s grace.

Those Who Mourn

Bible Verse

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (verse 4)

Explanation

Anyone feeling sad or going through a tough time, like losing something special, is who Jesus is talking about. He promises to make them feel better. When things get hard, we can either get upset and angry, or we can use it to understand and help others who are hurting too. Comfort is promised to those who grieve, acknowledging the healing and consolation that comes from God.

The Meek

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” (verse 5)

Explanation

Meek people are those who are gentle and wait patiently. They solve problems without fighting or getting angry. Their reward is something very valuable – Inheriting the earth. The meek are those who exercise self-control and show gentleness to others.

Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

Bible Verse

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (verse 6)

Explanation

This Beatitude encourages a deep desire for justice and moral integrity, promising fulfillment. Being filled is a special blessing for those who really want to make things right and fair in the world. Those who hunger for righteousness can easily spot what’s wrong and often have a clear and straightforward way of looking at complicated problems.

The Merciful

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (verse 7)

Explanation

Showing compassion earns mercy in return, highlighting the importance of forgiveness and empathy. Mercy can mean a lot of things like being forgiving, kind, and caring. The more mercy you show, the more you’ll find comes back to you. Sometimes it is easier to be merciful to others when you’re also kind to yourself.

The Pure in Heart

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” (verse 8)

Explanation

A call to sincerity and wholesomeness, promising a vision of God to those who are pure. People who have a pure heart are free from meanness and are full of innocence. They can ‘see’ God clearly because nothing is getting in the way of their view! Those with pure hearts also put God first in everything and everyone.

The Peacemakers

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (verse 9)

Explanation

Those who foster peace and reconciliation are recognized as children of God. Jesus wants us all to be peacemakers, to spread peace wherever we go. Being God’s children means we should always try to bring people together and help them understand each other. Peacemakers look for ways to solve disagreements kindly, listen to all sides, and find solutions that make everyone feel happy and safe.

Those Persecuted for Righteousness’ Sake

Bible Verse

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (verse 10)

Explanation

Enduring hardship for doing what is right earns the kingdom of heaven, emphasizing the value of standing up for justice. Doing the right thing, like standing up to a bully or facing someone who is being mean, can be tough. Yet, Jesus teaches us that being brave and choosing what’s right is what being his follower is all about. We practice this courage, showing that living like Jesus means standing up for what is good and true.

The sermon concludes with “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (verses 11-12.)

The Beatitudes Coloring Wheel Craft

To make the Beatitudes more relatable to kids, let’s look at some Beatitudes craft ideas. We’ve put together an adorable Bible lesson spinner wheel for kids. The coloring wheel craft for Sunday School is an innovative tool for understanding these parables and extending the Good News into kids’ lives.

Our Beatitudes Coloring wheel requires kids to color the eight Beatitudes on separate sections of a wheel, engage in a cutting activity to prepare the top and bottom parts, and then assemble them using brass fasteners. This activity not only fosters creativity and motor skills but also encourages children to reflect on each Beatitude as they work on the craft.

For younger children or toddlers, a simple coloring page version is available, focusing on the Beatitudes of Jesus without the need for scissors, making it safe and accessible for kids of all ages.

Extending the Lesson

Incorporating the Beatitudes Coloring Wheel into your kids Bible lesson can extend the learning experience in several ways:

Interactive Learning: As children engage in this Beatitude craft idea coloring and assembling the wheel, they interact with the text in a hands-on manner, which can help in memorizing and understanding the Beatitudes.
Discussion Prompts: Each section of the wheel can serve as a prompt for discussion. Teachers or parents can ask children what each Beatitude means to them and share examples of how they can live out these values in their daily lives.
Family Engagement: This craft can also be a tool for family engagement. Parents can work alongside their children, creating an opportunity for spiritual discussion and bonding.
Visual Aid: Once completed, the wheel serves as a visual reminder of Jesus’ teachings, which children can refer to regularly, reinforcing the lessons learned.

By using different materials and techniques, children can express themselves and create something unique. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, introducing Moses crafts to kids is a great way to spark their imagination and encourage learning.

The Life of Moses Story Overview

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.

The Birth of Moses Kids Activities

Explore the fascinating life of Moses, a central figure in biblical history, through engaging and creative crafts. In this section, we’ll delve into two captivating projects: “Moses Basket Craft” and “Moses Floats Down the Nile Craft”. These Moses Basket Crafts hands-on activities not only entertain but also teach children about the miraculous events surrounding Moses’ birth and early life. Let’s embark on this journey of discovery!

Moses in the Grass

In the Moses in the River Grass Craft kids get to have fun cutting and gluing green paper to make cool 3D Reeds. It’s all about getting creative and a bit crafty while learning how Moses was found in the Nile by Pharaoh’s daughter. This Sunday School craft is super engaging and makes sure the story sticks with them in a fun way. Included in this Baby Moses craft set are color copies, black and white copies, and a coloring page for younger kids who are not ready for the cutting experience and pasting strips of green paper. The story of Moses in the Nile River is also included featuring an easy-to-read passage from the book of Exodus chapter 2 verses 1-10.

Baby Moses Handprint Art

In the Moses in the River Grass Handprint Craft, kids will unleash their creativity and hone their fine motor skills by constructing 3D grass from green construction paper, utilizing scissors and glue to bring the scene to life with a realistic flair. This engaging hands-on project not only sparks their imagination but also vividly reinforces the narrative of Pharaoh’s daughter discovering Moses in the Nile, making the story unforgettable. This craft from the Bible features a scripture verse from Psalms – “You are my Hiding Place” Psalm 32:7.

Moses on the Nile River

Get ready to bring a classic story to life with a fun craft that has Moses floating down the Nile on a popsicle stick. Ideal for Vacation Bible School (VBS), Sunday school or homeschooling, this Baby Moses Basket Craft mixes a bit of fun with learning, focusing on Moses’ journey down the river and into the care of the Egyptian princess. With this neat river scene printable, kids can also color Miriam, Moses’ sister, watching over him as he travels down the river. It’s a creative way to engage with the story of Exodus 2, blending creativity with historical learning.

What are some engaging craft ideas involving the story of Baby Moses?

Some engaging craft ideas involving the story of Baby Moses include creating a paper plate basket with construction paper handles, making a Baby Moses puppet with a paper bag, or creating a Baby Moses sensory bin with blue rice and plastic figurines.

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

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

Jump into the exciting story of the Ten Plagues with some cool crafts and 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

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

Get ready for an adventure with our I Spy the 10 Plagues Scavenger Hunt for the classroom! This activity kicks off by printing out cards representing the ten plagues of Egypt and hiding them around the room. Each participant gets a checklist to start their quest. Kids will have a blast searching for the images of the ten plagues scattered around, checking them off their list as they go. It’s a race to see who can find all ten first, making for an exciting and educational challenge. This Exodus scavenger hunt is not only a fun way to engage with the story of the Ten Plagues but also a great opportunity for teamwork and observation skills and to learn the story of Moses & the 10 Plagues as depicted in the Book of Exodus chapters 7 to 12.

Coloring Wheel

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. First, we’ll explore a simple but fascinating science experiment using oil and water to visually depict the parting of the Red Sea, offering a hands-on way to understand this biblical miracle. 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

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

Create a fun Red Sea parting project for kids. This breathtaking 3D scene of Moses parting the Red Sea comes with a diorama template. Simply print the diorama template on blue paper to set the stage for this iconic biblical moment. The kit includes easy-to-follow instructions to assemble your 3-D backdrop and intricately designed cut-out characters of Moses, the separating Red Sea, and the Israelites, bringing the story to life right before your eyes. After gluing on your Moses clipart, for an extra touch of creativity and fun, you can add optional sea animals to your diorama, enriching the storytelling experience and sparking the imagination. This Moses preschool craft is perfect for toddlers and younger kids to explore and recreate one of the Bible’s most memorable miracles.

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.

Book of Job Sunday School Lesson Crafts

September 24, 2024 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media, Sunday School

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.

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. Older kids can handle more complex discussions about the themes of suffering, perseverance, and faith.

Crafts are a fantastic way to reinforce the lessons learned in Sunday school. They provide a hands-on, engaging activity that helps children internalize the story of Job. Here are a few ways to integrate crafts into your lessons:

Visual Learning: Use Bible crafts like the God is Good All the Time Clock Craft provide visual and interactive ways for kids to understand the story. These crafts help children remember the sequence of events and the key messages of the story.
Personal Connection: Activities like the Miniature Book of Job and the Bible Verse Coloring Page allow children to connect the story of Job to their own lives. By reflecting on their blessings and documenting their thoughts, kids can see the relevance of Job’s story in their own experiences.
Creative Expression: Crafts like the Job Comic Strip offer an opportunity for creative expression. Children can engage with the characters and dialogues in a fun and imaginative way, which helps them understand and remember the story better.

Lessons Learned from the Book of Job

The Book of Job teaches several profound lessons that are valuable for children and adults alike:

Faith in Adversity: Job’s unwavering faith during his trials teaches us to trust God, even when we don’t understand why we are suffering.
God’s Sovereignty: The story highlights God’s ultimate control and wisdom, reminding us that His ways and plans are beyond our understanding.
Endurance and Patience: Job’s patience in suffering encourages us to endure hardships with grace and patience, trusting that God has a purpose for our pain.
The Value of True Friends: While Job’s friends initially provided support, their misguided advice shows the importance of having compassionate and understanding friends during tough times.
Restoration and Blessing: Job’s eventual restoration reminds us of God’s faithfulness and the blessings that come from remaining steadfast in our faith.
