10 Craft Ideas to do With Elijah Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant Elijah coloring pages are complete, don't let them gather dust! These easy and affordable crafts put your child's masterpieces to use, bringing Elijah's stories to life in new ways.
1. Whirlwind Chariot Spinner
Cut out the colored Elijah and chariot images from your pages. Glue them onto two separate cardboard circles, then attach the circles back-to-back with a string through the top, allowing them to spin and create a visual illusion of Elijah ascending to heaven in a whirlwind.
2. Raven's Feast Placemat
Carefully cut out figures of Elijah and several ravens from the coloring pages. Arrange and glue them onto a piece of construction paper or poster board. Cover with clear contact paper or laminate to create a durable, story-themed placemat for meal times.
3. Mount Carmel Fire Card
Create a dramatic pop-up card depicting the Mount Carmel challenge. Cut out Elijah and an altar from your coloring pages, then design a pop-up mechanism inside a folded piece of construction paper so that fire appears when the card is opened.
4. Widow's Miraculous Jar
Decorate a small paper cup or jar with construction paper. Cut out a picture of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath from your finished pages and glue them to the outside. Fill the “jar” with paper representations of flour and oil to symbolize God's unending provision.
5. Elijah's Mantle Story Scroll
Cut out various scenes or figures from Elijah's life across several coloring pages. Glue these in sequence onto a long strip of paper or butcher paper. Attach each end to a small dowel rod or paper towel roll to create a scroll that tells his prophetic journey.
6. Horeb's Still Small Voice Window
Fashion a cave opening from black construction paper. Cut out a small Elijah figure from a coloring page and glue it inside. Back the cave opening with tissue paper to suggest the “still small voice,” allowing light to filter through dramatically.
7. Jordan River Crossing Stage
Transform a shoebox into a mini puppet stage. Cut out blue construction paper for the Jordan River. Mount cut-out figures of Elijah and Elisha from your colored pages onto popsicle sticks to create simple puppets that can “cross” the river as you tell the story.
8. Rain Cloud Prayer Mobile
Cut out a large cloud shape from blue or grey construction paper. From your coloring pages, cut small “raindrops” that depict Elijah praying for rain or the servant seeing the small cloud. Attach these raindrops with string to hang from the cloud, creating a mobile that celebrates the end of the drought.
9. Raven's Provision Basket
Construct a small paper basket using construction paper. Cut out several raven figures and small pieces representing bread and meat from your coloring pages. Glue the ravens as if flying around the basket, and place the “food” inside, illustrating God's care for Elijah.
10. Prophet's Mountaintop Display
Create a layered 3D display using construction paper for hills and mountains. Cut out Elijah, the altar, and perhaps some Baal prophets from your coloring pages. Arrange them on your “mountaintop” with cotton balls for clouds and red/orange tissue paper for the fire from heaven.
