Craft Ideas for Mark 10, Possession and the Kingdom
How can we focus on the most important things? In the focus passage for this lesson, Jesus met a rich young man who thought he could save himself, and was unwilling to part with his earthly possessions.
These crafts encourage children to contemplate the most important things in life and think about what it means to put Jesus first. A coin bank provides a tool to save and give away money for others. A “Camel Ring Toss” recalls the story with a fun game. Let’s get crafty!
Bible Crafts on Through a Needle’s Eye Mark 10
Craft one: “Let it Go Coin Bank” You will need:
Construction paper or cardstock
Small container (empty coffee or oats can, tissue box, shoebox, etc.)
Crayons or markers
Glue or tape
Additional decorations (stickers, glitter, etc.)
Procedure:
Write out verses or captions on the paper.
Carefully cover the container with the paper, securing with glue and/or tape.
Add extra decorations as desired.
Cut a slit in the top of the container to allow it to serve as a coin bank. Use to collect change and remember the importance of giving to God.
Craft Two: “Camel Ring Toss” You will need:
Yarn or ribbon
Construction paper
Cardstock or cardboard
Markers or crayons
Scissors
Glue or tape
Key ring or carabiner
Procedure: Draw or trace a camel onto a piece of cardboard or card stock, or cut and glue from a printed template.
Cut around the camel, and fold the paper to create a standing base.
Add verse and captions on or under the camel page.
Punch a hole in the paper, and attach a string and key ring to the string.
Toss the string/ring and attempt to hook over the camel’s neck or hump. Use to remember the difficulty of following Jesus while distracted!
