Preschool Craft Activity: Create a Flower Garden Picture

April 17, 2019 | Kids Ministry

Preschool Craft Activity: Create a Flower Garden Picture

width=1024Supplies Needed:

  • Bible
  • Strips of green construction paper
  • Large sheets of construction paper
  • Various sizes of muffin cups and mini muffin cups (pastel colors preferred)
  • Large buttons (large enough not to be a choking hazard or pompoms)
  • Glue
  • Washable markers
  • scissors

Prepare:

  1. Cut the green construction paper into strips to resemble flower stems.
  2. Place the materials listed above on a table for preschoolers to use.
  3. Glue a muffin cup to an end of a green strip of paper to use as a Bible marker. Write the Bible phrase, “Jesus is alive” on the strip of paper. Place the Bible marker in the Bible at John 20:1-18.
  4. Place the Bible with Bible marker on a table with other craft materials listed above.

Teach:

  1. Encourage preschoolers to decide how many “flowers” they want to make in their garden picture. Demonstrate how to make a flower by gluing a strip of paper onto the large piece of construction paper. Then, glue a muffin cup on the construction paper at the top of the green strip of paper. If a child chooses, he can glue a button or pom-pom inside the muffin cup.
  2. Allow preschoolers to use markers to draw other things in their gardens.
  3. As the preschoolers make their garden picture, open the Bible to John 20:1-18. Share the Bible story about Mary visiting the tomb and her encounter with Jesus. Emphasize that when Mary left the garden, she was happy because she knew Jesus is alive.
  4. Remind preschoolers that Easter is a happy time and can remind us that Jesus is alive and He loves them.
  5. Discuss with preschoolers how they can know Jesus loves them.
