Jesus Calms the Sea Kids Craft


Because most toddler’s attention span is all of a nanosecond, I find the simpler the craft the better. Age and personality type also play a factor when finding applicable crafts for your sweethearts.

My children have two very different personalities. Even by age 2, my son could stay on a task for quite a while, whereas my daughter is just like me, “blessed”, with a very small attention span. We both start a hundred things at once and don’t finish them.

Mark 4:35-40

This craft is simple, yet fun. It serves to reinforce the Bible story of Jesus calming the sea. It’s a nice reminder that when the world is raging around us, God is in control of it all. He can calm the storms in our life.

Here’s a peek at the final product…

  6. Cut a second strip of water and place it on top of previous water, bend farthest edges inward and place a piece of tape in the inner fold. This will create a pocket. Make sure not to make the waves too big, as it can cause the boat to snag.
