Craft Activities for Children (John 6:56-69) Jesus as the Way to Life

Jesus calls us to follow Him. We know that we can trust Him to care for us and lead us to eternal life. These crafts focus on the life-saving work of Christ and celebrate the conversation Jesus had with His disciples, where they proclaimed Him as Lord.

A “Life Preserver” ring reminds us that Jesus saves our lives. A “Words of Life Bookmark” can be used to mark spots in the Bible and remember that Jesus points the way for us. Let’s get crafty!

  • Construction paper or card-stock
  • Crepe paper/streamers
  • Pipe cleaners or ribbon
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Paper plate or round object
  • Extra decorations (stickers, glitter, etc.)

Procedure: 

  1. Create the “life preserver” base: Use a paper plate with the center cut out, or a wire or pipe cleaner ring, and wrap it a few times with crepe paper streamers. 
  2. Add string or pipe cleaner and tape to secure the streamers around the outside of the ring. 
  3. Cut out a piece of paper and write verses and captions. 
  4. Add decorations to the caption and ring.

Sunday School Craft Two: “Words of Eternal Life” Bookmark


You will need:

  • Construction paper or card-stock
  • Markers or crayons
  • Scissors
  • Glue or tape
  • String or pipe cleaners
  • Decorations (stickers, glitter, etc.)
  • Hole punch

Procedure: 

1. Cut construction paper or cardstock into the desired shape for your bookmark. An arrow could work if you’d like to emphasize Jesus as “the way,” but a simple rectangle will do, as well.
