Preschool Sunday School Craft – Jesus Calms the Storm

The story of Jesus calming the storm can be used to teach all ages.  Use this preschool Sunday school craft idea and accompanying activities to teach your 2-4 year olds that they can have bad or stormy days and there are people who can help them through these times, just like Jesus helping the disciples.

Bible Story:

Tell the story of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4: 35-41). You can use a children’s bible or just tell it in such a way that the children can understand it.

Discussion:

Ask the children who helps them when they are sick or when they are having a bad day.  Many will mention different family members such as mom, dad, a sibling, grandparent, aunt or uncle.  Explain to them that God and Jesus can help us through our hard days too, just like Jesus helped the disciples in the storm.

Sunday School Craft:

Have the children make boats and disciples. Precut toilet paper tubes in half. Precut 13 Popsicle sticks down for each child to fit in the toilet paper tubes so that they can “stand” up inside of it. Let the children color their toilet paper tube which will be the boat. Then let them draw faces on the Popsicle sticks and color clothes on them to be the 12 disciples and Jesus. Help the glue or tape the Popsicle sticks standing up in the toilet paper tube.

Song:

Sing the song “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”

He’s got the whole world in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands.

2nd time through: He’s got the little bitty babies in His hands”¦
3rd time through: He’s got the mommies and the daddies in His hands”¦
4th time through: He’s got you and me brother in His hands”¦
5th time through: He’s got you and me sister in his hands”¦
Repeat original verse
