10 Craft Ideas to do With Psalm 23 Coloring Pages
Once those finished coloring pages pile up, put them to use with these easy, affordable crafts that bring the comforting words of Psalm 23 to life.
1. Green Pastures Diorama
Cut out sheep, the shepherd, and green pasture elements from your colored pages. Glue these onto a shoebox lid or a piece of poster board, using construction paper to create rolling hills and grass. You can even add small pipe cleaner trees for a serene 3D scene of rest and provision.
2. Still Waters Mobile
Cut out peaceful scenes like a sheep drinking from quiet streams, or the words “still waters” from your coloring pages. Glue them onto blue construction paper cut into gentle wave shapes. Punch a hole at the top of each, tie with string, and suspend them from a bent pipe cleaner frame to create a calming mobile.
3. Shepherd's Staff Bookmark
Select a shepherd, a sheep, or a comforting verse from your colored page. Glue it onto a sturdy piece of cardstock cut into the shape of a shepherd's staff. Laminate with clear packing tape or contact paper for durability, creating a lovely reminder of guidance as you read.
4. “My Cup Runneth Over” Collage
Draw or cut out a simple cup shape from construction paper and glue it onto a larger background. Then, cut out small images or key blessing words like “goodness,” “mercy,” or “blessing” from various coloring pages. Arrange and glue them so they appear to be overflowing from the cup, symbolizing abundant blessings.
5. Rod & Staff Finger Puppets
Cut out the shepherd figure, a sheep, or even stylized representations of the rod and staff from your pages. Glue each cut-out onto a small tube made from rolling construction paper or a half toilet paper roll. These can be used for storytelling about comfort and protection in the valley.
6. Valley of Shadow Window Cling
Carefully cut out a “valley” shape from clear contact paper. From your coloring pages, cut out sheep, the shepherd, or a specific verse from Psalm 23:4. Arrange these elements inside the contact paper valley, then cover with another layer of contact paper and trim to create a beautiful, temporary window decoration.
7. Table of Blessings Placemat
Cut out various elements like the shepherd, sheep, green pastures, still waters, or verse snippets from several colored pages. Arrange and glue them onto a piece of construction paper or poster board. Cover the entire placemat with clear contact paper to protect it, creating a functional reminder of God's provision.
8. Anointing Oil Bottle Decoration
Find a small, clean plastic bottle (like a spice bottle or mini juice bottle). Cut out small images, patterns, or verse fragments from your Psalm 23 coloring pages. Glue these decorative pieces around the bottle to create a symbolic representation of being “anointed with oil.”
9. Goodness & Mercy Chain
Cut long strips from your finished coloring pages, each featuring a picture or part of a verse. Form these strips into paper chain links, connecting them one by one. As you link them, reflect on goodness and mercy following you all the days of your life, creating a continuous decorative chain.
10. House of the Lord Wall Banner
Select significant images or verses from multiple finished coloring pages. Glue these onto a large piece of poster board or butcher paper to form a banner. Add decorative borders or drawn “house” elements, creating a visual reminder of dwelling in the house of the Lord forever.
