10 Craft Ideas to do With Beatitudes Coloring Pages
Once those beautiful Beatitudes coloring pages are complete, don't let them gather dust! Here are 10 easy, affordable craft ideas to put them to wonderful use.
1. Beatitudes Blessing Jar
Cut out individual Beatitude phrases or related symbols from your colored pages. Decorate a clean glass jar or shoebox with paint or construction paper. Glue the cut-outs to the outside of the jar, or place them inside for a daily reminder of God's blessings. This creates a tangible “blessing” container.
2. Mountain of Blessings Mural
The Beatitudes were taught on a mountain, so let's build one! Get a large piece of poster board and draw or paint a mountain landscape. Cut out various Beatitude illustrations or verses from your finished coloring pages and glue them all over your “mountain” to represent the teachings given there. It's a great group project!
3. Peacemaker Pennant Banner
Celebrate “peacemakers” by creating a decorative banner. Cut your colored Beatitude pages into triangular or flag shapes, ensuring each flag features a different Beatitude or a peace-related image like a dove. Punch holes in the top corners of each flag and string them together with yarn or ribbon. Hang it as a reminder to seek harmony.
4. Pure Heart Suncatchers
Symbolize “pure in heart” seeing God by making light-catching suncatchers. Cut out meaningful Beatitude words or simple shapes from your colored pages. Sandwich these cut-outs between two pieces of clear contact paper or laminate them, then trim. Punch a hole and hang in a sunny window to let God's light shine through your pure heart reminders.
5. Mercy Handprint Art
“Blessed are the merciful” is a powerful message for little hands. Have children trace and cut out their handprints from construction paper. Glue a cut-out Beatitude verse about mercy onto the palm of each handprint. Arrange and glue these merciful hands onto a larger piece of paper to create a collaborative “Mercy Hands” wall art piece.
6. Kingdom of Heaven Door Hanger
Remind everyone of the “kingdom of heaven” with a personalized door hanger. Trace and cut out a door hanger shape from sturdy cardstock or a cereal box. Decorate it with cut-outs of Beatitude verses (especially those mentioning the Kingdom of Heaven) or heavenly imagery from your coloring pages. Hang it on a doorknob as a daily blessing when entering or leaving a room.
7. Meekness Medallions
Encourage “meekness” with wearable medallions. Cut out circular shapes from cardboard. Glue a Beatitude verse or a gentle image (like a lamb or a quiet landscape) from your coloring pages onto the cardboard circles. Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon or yarn through to create a necklace, or glue a safety pin on the back to wear as a badge.
8. Righteousness River Chain
Symbolize the continuous flow of “hunger and thirst for righteousness” with a paper chain. Cut long strips from your colored Beatitude pages, making sure each strip features a part of a Beatitude or an image. Form the strips into loops, linking them together with glue or staples to create an ever-growing chain. Hang it across a room as a reminder of an ongoing pursuit.
9. Comfort Quilt Story Squares
For “those who mourn,” comfort can be found in shared blessings. Have each child choose a Beatitude and color its page. Then, cut each finished page into a square “quilt block.” Glue these squares onto a large piece of poster board, overlapping slightly to create a colorful “Comfort Quilt” of Beatitude blessings that reminds everyone of God's solace.
10. Salt and Light Lanterns
While not a Beatitude, Jesus' teaching on “salt and light” immediately follows, embodying the Beatitudes' spirit. Decorate clear glass jars (cleaned, labels removed) by gluing translucent cut-outs of Beatitude symbols or words from your pages onto the outside. Place a battery-operated tea light inside each jar to create a glowing lantern that spreads the light of God's blessings.
