Fun, Inclusive, and Evidence-Based Bible Crafts for Sunday School
Do you have children in your preschool ministry, kids’ ministry, or special needs ministry who struggle with traditional Sunday School crafts?
Are your volunteers doing most of the project for the child instead of with them?
You’re not alone. One heartfelt request I often hear from families of children with disabilities is this:
“We just want to see what our child can do—not what an adult did for them.”
As a special education teacher, I completely understand. Many Bible crafts are simply not developmentally appropriate for little ones with fine motor challenges, especially those with autism or developmental delays.
That’s why I created this free Earth Stained Glass Bible Craft—a fun, sensory-friendly activity that pairs perfectly with your Days of Creation lesson. It’s simple, visual, engaging, and backed by occupational therapy (OT)-inspired strategies that promote independence, creativity, and success for every child.
💡 Why You’ll Love This Bible Craft:
- ✅ Easy-to-follow visual directions — perfect for children who process best through pictures, including nonverbal learners
- ✅ Supports fine motor development through tearing, sticking, and painting
- ✅ Encourages independence and creativity—every finished craft is truly child-made
- ✅ Pairs beautifully with your Creation Story lesson (Genesis 1)
- ✅ Printable template and differentiated versions included—ideal for mixed-ability groups
🖍 Materials You’ll Need:
- Earth Template (👇 free below!)
- Contact paper
- Blue and green tissue paper
- Scissors
- Glue
Differentiated worksheets are included in the free download to meet children where they are developmentally.
🧠 OT-Recommended Variations:
Want to build hand strength or offer more sensory exploration?
Try one of these bonus options:
- ✂️ Tear Paper Craft: Use blue and green construction paper instead of tissue. Tearing builds bilateral coordination and grip strength.
