Zacchaeus and Jesus Toilet Paper Roll Craft for Kids in Sunday school or Children's Church

Here is a Zacchaeus And Jesus Toilet Paper Roll Craft for kids in Sunday school or Children's Church. Just pick which template you need below and print it out. If you have time for the kids to color then print the black and white one out. We have a colored template for those who don't have time to color. Have the kids color and cut both pictures out. Tape the square piece with the tree trunk, scripture and Jesus around the cardboard tube and tape in the back. Tape the tree leaves with Zacchaeus poking his head out to the top of the tree trunk. The Bible lesson for Zacchaeus is in Luke 19:1-10. 

Luke 19:1  And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

Luke 19:2  And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

Luke 19:3  And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

Luke 19:4  And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

Luke 19:5  And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

Luke 19:6  And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

Luke 19:7  And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

Luke 19:8  And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

Luke 19:9  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

Luke 19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Ten Commandments- 3rd Commandment Craft- Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The Lord Thy God In Vain- For Sunday School Kids

 3rd Commandment Craft

Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The 

Lord Thy God In Vain. Exodus 20:7

Supplies:

• Large Popsicle Stick
• Crayons and Markers
• Colored Construction Paper
• White Paper
• Sticker Eyes
• Tape or Glue
• Scissors 
• Decorative Cutting scissors (Optional)

I took a piece of dark blue construction paper and taped a large popsicle stick to the paper to make the man's body. I drew the head at the top of the popsicle stick,and added hair, eyes, arms and legs. I also added some sticker eyes. I cut out a speech bubble and taped that next to the man and wrote, "!#?X!" in the speech bubble to represent words that were not nice. I cut out a small square of white paper using the decorative scissors and wrote the scripture Exodus 20:7 on it and taped it on the paper.

3-D Bee Craft

3-D Bee Craft

Colossians 3:23  (KJV) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Bees live in groups called bee colonies.  Each worker bee works very hard to produce just a few drops of honey.  To keep the bee colony alive, the bees must work together with cooperation.  It is very important that each bee does his part.  It is the same way with families and churches.

• Yellow card stock (Or white paper colored yellow)
• Pencil or marker
• Scissors
• Black pipe stem cleaners
• Hole Punch
• Wax paper

Cut a strip of paper about two inches wide across the narrow end of the paper.  Accordion- fold the paper so you have five or six layers.  Sketch the body of a bee of the bottom of the body is on the bottom folds and the top of the head is on the top folds. (like paper dolls) You can find a clip art picture of a bee to go by or just free hand it.  Basically, for the body draw a rectangle that is rounded on one end and that is more pointed on the other end for the tail.  Draw a circle that slightly overlaps the rounded end and is a little above the body for the head.  We are not going to worry about drawing wings.  Cut out your bee, but do not cut where the head and body touch the folds.  Punch a hole just behind the head through all layers.  Draw in some stripes on the body and give the bee a face.  Next, cut another rectangle out of wax paper.  It would be about as long as the bee’s body.  Round off the ends and fold the wax paper accordion style. Slide the wax paper through the holes you punched, bend upward and spread the wax paper out to make the wings.  Cut a short piece of the black pipe stem cleaner.  Bend it in half and insert it inside the folds of the head to make the antennae.

These should stand up on a table or they can be hung with string to fly from the ceiling.  You can make these any size or color and as fancy as you please.  

Snack:  Anything with honey such as honey nut cheerios.  

Try this.  Dip a peeled banana in lemon juice or fruit fresh to prevent it from turning brown.  Mix peanut butter and honey and spread it on a whole wheat flour tortilla.  Place the banana toward one edge and roll up the tortilla.  Let the roll ups set in the refrigerator for about an hour.  Just before serving, slice into one inch sections and serve.  One banana will make six to eight slices depending on the banana.  Be sure to check if any child has peanut allergies.  If so, eliminate the peanut butter.  

 

Heaven’s Helpers

Matthew 25:44  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Matthew 25:45  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

God wants us to help each other.  Jesus said that when you help someone else, it is the same as helping Him. When you are small, it may seem like there are not many ways you can help someone.  Today, we are going to talk about things you can do to help at home, at church and at school.  I am going to name some things that children can do to help.  Raise one hand if you think that is something you can do. Raise two hands if you have done that in the past.

• Pick up your toys and put them away.
• Wipe the baseboards with a dust cloth.
• Put dirty clothes in a hamper.
• Match socks.
• Fold wash cloths.
• Put trash in a wastebasket.
• Put silverware on the table.
• Put clean silverware away in a drawer.
• Wipe the windowsills with a dust cloth.
• Take trash out of the car and throw it away.
• Wipe the table.
• Carry dirty dishes to the sink.
• Erase the board at school.
• Help pass out papers.
• Hand out the bulletins at church.
• Move chairs so someone can sweep.

Ask the children to name any other jobs they have done.  Remember that Jesus died for us and He did not ask for payment.  He did it out of love for us, so we could have a better life and live with Him in Heaven someday.  We should do for others out of love. Doesn’t it feel good to be one of God’s heavenly helpers?

Galatians 6:9 (KJV) 9  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

James 4: 17 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Then have the kids cut out all the pieces and glue down on construction paper. You could print the colored one out if the kids do not like to color.

Use this activity craft sheet to go along when teaching on Luke 6:44.

Luke 6:43  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Luke 6:44  For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

Luke 6:45  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Really Rice Pictures

Really Rice Pictures

• White rice
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Cups
• Food Coloring
• Glue
• Flat Toothpicks
• Coloring Pages
• Be On Fire For God Coloring Page (printable Version)

Fill a paper cup half way full of alcohol.  Add several drops of food coloring.  Add rice to a level that allows all the rice to be covered.  Give it a stir.  Let the rice set in the colored alcohol about half an hour.  Pour out into a shallow dish and let dry for a day.  Stir occasionally.  Do this for each separate color of rice you need for the picture.

Print out a coloring page that goes along with your lesson.  Choose pictures with lots of open space.  Beginning in the middle, add drops of glue to one section.  Gently use a flat toothpick to spread the glue to fill the space.  Carefully sprinkle some grains of colored rice in the space.  Brush away any excess rice.  Fill the space next to the first with glue and sprinkle on the next color of rice.  Working your way outward, continue filling in spaces and adding rice until the picture is complete.  Let your masterpiece dry completely before moving it.

This craft can be used with any lesson or just for fun. More crafts, lessons, coloring pages, clipart, puzzles and more at Church House Collection.
