Sunday School Crafts for Three Bible Story Lessons

Match a Sunday school craft to the Bible story you are teaching: Hannah and Samuel cone figures, Adam and Eve printed characters or a Lost Sheep cotton-ball picture. Choose one story and its assembly task rather than treating the three downloads as one lesson pack.

Use Hannah and Samuel for prayer and listening

The Hannah download has three full-colour pages in both A4 and US Letter. Its templates make Hannah holding removable baby Samuel and a bonus young Samuel figure, with an illustrated how-to page.

The listing connects Hannah with 1 Samuel 1 and the young Samuel cone with 1 Samuel 3:10. The two figures can support different parts of your teaching plan; read the printed reference before introducing each one.

Print at Actual Size and check the template ruler. Cut the parts, roll and glue the cone, then attach its front and back pieces as directed. An adult cuts the curved slit above Hannah's hands for baby Samuel. The listing describes ages 4+ with adult cutting help and names a craft knife or small scissors for that slit.

Assemble Adam and Eve from printed pieces

The Adam and Eve craft has five full-colour pages: instructions and a body-and-pieces pair for each character. A4 and US Letter PDFs are supplied.

Its bodies look like paper bags, but the description says everything is printed. Children attach the supplied hair, eyes, cheeks, smiles and leaves; a real bag and googly eyes are not needed.

The listed age range is 4-9, with little ones potentially needing scissor help. Cardstock is recommended, though plain printer paper also works. Use the dotted placement guides for assembly without requiring every face to use the same optional features.

Choose the Lost Sheep page for textured making

The Lost Sheep craft has three black-and-white pages in A4 and US Letter. Children colour the scene and glue cotton balls onto the sheep's wool.

Its description names the Lost Sheep and Good Shepherd themes. It does not identify a printed passage in the contents, so use the passage and teaching material you have chosen for the lesson.

Cotton balls, glue and colouring tools are separate supplies. Scissors are optional, which lets the main task remain on an intact page.

Prepare the story and construction separately

Use this lesson checklist:

1. Select the story before choosing artwork.
2. Read the references and instructions on that template.
3. Gather the listed physical materials.
4. Prepare adult cutting or slit-making help.
5. Finish with one question about the story you taught.

A completed craft can support retelling, but the downloads provide different characters and making processes. Keep your lesson notes with the chosen design so an unrelated template does not enter the session by mistake.
