Fruit of the Spirit Crafts for Sunday School

Teach a Fruit of the Spirit craft lesson with the nine-fruit tree, or focus on goodness with the paper Cookie Jar. Use the Proverbs trust tree as a separate lesson companion with its own passage.

Match the tree to the full lesson

The Fruit of the Spirit tree has nine labelled fruit pieces and decorative leaves. Its four-page set includes tree and cutout pages in black-and-white and full colour, supplied in A4 and US Letter.

The listing connects the craft to Galatians 5:22-23. Children colour if needed, cut the fruit and leaves, arrange them on the tree and glue them in place. It recommends adult supervision for younger children using scissors.

For a group introduction, read the labels together before pieces are attached. Use the Bible translation and teaching material you have selected rather than assuming the printable supplies your whole lesson.

Choose the jar to focus on goodness

The Goodness Cookie Jar has a jar page and cookie page in both black-and-white and colour. The four unique pages come in A4 and US Letter.

Its paper cookies name actions such as telling the truth, helping someone and using kind words. The listing also connects the activity with Galatians 5:22-23, but the craft's focus is goodness.

As a discussion suggestion, invite each child to choose one action and describe a situation where it could apply. The cookies are paper pieces to colour, cut and paste into the pictured jar, rather than food or a three-dimensional container.

Keep the trust tree's theme distinct

The Trust in the Lord tree uses Proverbs 3:5. Its hearts include printed trust actions and write-in alternatives. Children fold the hearts and glue their middles to the tree so the sides stand away from the page.

It provides colour and black-and-white versions in A4 and US Letter. The listing recommends ages 4+ with adult cutting help for little ones. This can support a later conversation about trust, but it is not a substitute for the tree's nine Fruit of the Spirit labels.

Prepare one discussion task

Try this practical checklist:

• Decide whether the session covers all nine fruits or one topic.
• Print only the chosen colour or colouring pages.
• Set out the paper and cutting and gluing supplies.
• Read labels before arranging pieces.
• Let children explain one choice before the final gluing.
