Craft Activities for Children: Hannah and Samuel Craft Ideas (1 Samuel 1:4-20)

Craft Ideas for 1 Samuel 1 Hanna and Samuel

The story of Hannah and Samuel is a great way to remind children of God’s faithfulness and of the importance of prayer. Even when we don’t get what we want in the way we might hope, we know God loves us and hears all of our prayers, of supplication, praise and thanks.

These crafts focus on prayer. A “Prayer Phone” serves as a microphone or “telephone” replica. A Prayer Journal provides a method to write (or draw) prayers. Let’s get crafty!

Bible Crafts on Hanna’s Prayer, 1 Samuel 1:4-20

Craft one: “Prayer Phone”
You will need:

Cups (foam optimal)

Glue or tape

Scissors

Markers or crayons

Construction paper or cardstock

Decorations (stickers, etc.)

Pipe Cleaners

Procedure:

Cut the bottom ends out of the cups.

Decorate the cups with stickers, verses, and captions. Alternatively (or in addition), write a caption on a piece of paper or cardstock.

Glue or tape the cups together, bottom to bottom.

Add a pipe cleaner, if desired, for a handle. Use as a megaphone (to talk to God) or listening device (to hear from Him)!

Craft Two: “Prayer Journal”
You will need:

Markers or crayons

Paper or cardstock

Scissors

Glue or tape

Extra decorations (gems, stickers, etc.)

Notebook or diary

If desired, write out designations within the notebook to categorize pages and sections of prayers.

Use the book to write or draw prayers or to remember requests (or both!).
