10 Craft Ideas to do With Pentecost Coloring Pages
Once those finished Pentecost coloring pages start to pile up, don't let them go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts put them to creative use, helping to reinforce the spirit and story of Pentecost.
1. Tongues of Fire Headband
Cut out vibrant flame shapes from your colored Pentecost pages. Glue these fiery cutouts onto a strip of red or orange construction paper or poster board, sized to fit around a child's head. Secure the ends with tape or glue to create a festive, wearable crown of the Holy Spirit.
2. Rushing Wind Chimes
Decorate a paper plate by cutting out the center. From your colored pages, cut out symbols like doves, small flames, or figures of disciples. Punch holes around the plate's rim and tie strings through them, attaching one cutout to the end of each string. Hang your wind chime where it can gently sway, recalling the mighty rushing wind of Pentecost.
3. Birthday of the Church Banner
Cut your finished coloring pages into flag shapes or squares. On each piece, write a letter to spell out “Happy Birthday Church!” or simply decorate with Pentecost symbols. String the completed pieces together with yarn or ribbon to create a celebratory banner perfect for hanging in a classroom or at home.
4. Holy Spirit Dove Mobile
Carefully cut out dove images from your colored pages. Cross two popsicle sticks and glue them together in the center to form a cross shape. Attach strings of varying lengths to the ends of the sticks, then glue your paper doves to the bottom of each string, creating a peaceful mobile representing the Holy Spirit.
5. Upper Room Diorama Box
Use a shoebox or cereal box as the base for an “Upper Room” scene. Cut out figures of disciples, flames, or architectural details from your colored pages. Glue them inside the box to recreate the setting where the Holy Spirit descended. You can even add small craft stick furniture or a backdrop from another page.
6. Flame Bookmark
Glue a cut-out flame design from your Pentecost coloring pages onto a sturdy strip of cardstock or a wide popsicle stick. This simple, symbolic bookmark can be used to mark a Bible passage or any favorite book, serving as a reminder of the Holy Spirit's presence.
7. Unity Wreath of Languages
Trace and cut out hand shapes from your colored pages, or small circles representing different people. Glue these diverse “hands” or “faces” around a paper plate with the center cut out, forming a wreath. This craft symbolizes the many languages spoken by the disciples and the unity of the early church.
8. Pentecost Story Wheel
Divide a paper plate into segments, each representing a part of the Pentecost story (disciples gathered, wind, flames, speaking languages). Cut out corresponding images or characters from your coloring pages and glue them into the segments. Use a second paper plate with a window cut out, secured with a brad, to spin and reveal the story scene by scene.
9. Holy Spirit Pinwheel
Take a square of brightly colored construction paper. Glue small flame or dove cutouts from your colored pages onto each section of the square. Fold and cut the paper as if making a pinwheel, then assemble it with a pencil and a pushpin. As it spins, it visually represents the powerful wind of the Holy Spirit.
10. Church Building Photo Frame
Cut a rectangular opening in the center of a piece of cardboard or poster board for a photo. Decorate the frame by cutting out small “brick” shapes, flame accents, or dove images from your Pentecost coloring pages. Glue these decorations onto the frame, celebrating the “birthday” and building of the Church.
