He is Risen Craft Idea #1: Scratch Board Crosses
These “scratchies,” as we call them, are the easiest Easter craft for Sunday School you’ll ever find. Even your preschoolers can do this one! And it is incredibly fast and easy to set up. It’s one of our “fallback” crafts, as a matter of fact, because it is just so simple. And it’s fun to see how each child’s craft turns out so differently.
Supplies Needed
Scratch board crosses.You can get a set of 25 scratch board crosses for an extremely reasonable price.
Scratch sticks. You have to use a certain type of wooden scratch stick like these with these scratch boards. Because this is such an easy craft, I’d highly recommend getting a good number of the scratch sticks (more than what’s included with the scratch boards). You can easily reuse them with a variety of scratch board shapes with different lessons.
“He’s not here. He is risen” paper strips. Older children may prefer to scratch the message directly on their crosses, and that’s fine too. But to make it easy for younger children, you can type up the message, “He’s not here. He is risen.” Then print it out and cut it into small strips that can be glued onto the cross as a reminder that Jesus is no longer there!
Craft Instructions
- Use the wooden scratch stick to scratch a design on the scratch board cross.
- After the design is finished, glue the paper strip to the cross as a reminder that Jesus is risen!
He is Risen Craft Idea #2: Watercolor Crosses
This simple craft for kids looks SO cool when it is finished! It uses a special paper and watercolors to create a stunning marbled effect. And it’s a beautiful complementary activity for teaching the resurrection to kids in your Sunday School class.
Supplies Needed
Watercolor paper. When you paint this special watercolor paper, it reacts with gorgeous blending and spreading effects!
Watercolor paints.You can get watercolor paints in bottlesfor your church, so you don’t have to mess with those individual watercolor palettes.
Paintbrushes.If you don’t already have some, you can get a pack of children’s paintbrushes inexpensively.
Scissors. I recommend kid-safe scissors like these for children’s ministry.
Glitter glue pen. You’ll useglitter glue pens to write the message of the resurrection on the cross.
Craft Instructions
- Drip, drizzle, flick, or brush watercolor paint on the watercolor paper cross.
- Allow the watercolor to dry, then use scissors to cut a large cross shape out of the paper.
- When dry, use a glitter glue stick to write on the cross, “He’s not here. He is risen!” as a reminder that Jesus is no longer on the cross, but is alive!
He is Risen Craft Idea #3: Tissue Paper Crosses
This neat Easter craft for Sunday School uses tissue paper to create a “stained glass” effect over the resurrection message!
Supplies Needed
Wooden crosses. I recommend buying a set of wooden crosses like these online, because it is far less expensive than similar products in local stores.
Permanent markers. If you have small children, you can also use washable markers, but I recommend permanent markersbecause they make the resurrection message more visible.
Glue.You’ll use this both to seal the message, and to glue on the tissue paper. All you need is basic white school glue.
Tissue paper. Try to only use lighter colors of tissue paper, so that the resurrection message still shows through clearly. You will either need to cut the paper into small squares, or also supply scissors to your class so that they can cut the paper into squares. Or, you can grab a pack of these mini tissue squares and save yourself a whole lot of trouble! 😉
Craft Instructions
- Use permanent marker to write “He’s not here. He is risen!” in thick, dark letters across the wooden cross.
- Apply a thin layer of glue over the message to seal it. Allow to dry.
- Now, use glue to apply small squares of tissue paper randomly on the cross, creating a “stained glass” look. Continue gluing tissue paper to the cross until it is covered in glue.
- Spread a thin layer of glue over the entire cross, to seal the tissue paper. Allow to dry.
