Jesus Died On The Cross Craft For Preschoolers
As Christians, it is important for us to teach our children about the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. One way to do this is by creating a craft that represents this significant event. In this article, we will guide you through how to make a Jesus died on the cross craft for preschoolers.
Materials Needed
Before we get started, make sure you have the following materials:
- Cardboard or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Crayons or markers
- String or yarn
- A small piece of cloth
Step 1: Cut Out Cross
The first step is to cut out a cross from the cardboard or construction paper. You can make the cross as big or as small as you want, but make sure it is big enough to fit your child’s handprint.
Step 2: Trace Handprint
Next, trace your child’s handprint onto a piece of paper. You can use any color paper you like, but we recommend using a lighter color so the handprint stands out.
Step 3: Cut Out Handprint
Using scissors, carefully cut out the traced handprint.
Step 4: Color Handprint
Using crayons or markers, have your child color in the handprint. You can encourage them to use bright colors or to color the handprint to represent their own hand.
Step 5: Glue Handprint To Cross
Once the handprint is colored, glue it to the center of the cross. This represents Jesus’ hands being nailed to the cross.
Step 6: Add String
Cut a piece of string or yarn and tie it around the top of the cross. This represents the crown of thorns that was placed on Jesus’ head.
Step 7: Add Cloth
Finally, cut a small piece of cloth and glue it to the bottom of the cross. This represents the cloth that was used to cover Jesus’ body after he died.
Conclusion
Creating a Jesus died on the cross craft for preschoolers is a great way to teach them about the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. By following these simple steps, your child will have a tangible reminder of this significant event in Christian history. We hope you enjoy making this craft with your little ones!
