Fall feels like the perfect season to mix creativity and learning in Sunday school. I’ve gathered 15 crafts that help kids connect with autumn while exploring Bible lessons. With these activities, children get to have fun and remember important messages.
The crafts I share are simple, engaging, and fit right in with fall themes and Sunday school settings. They make it easy to celebrate autumn and teach values, and you won’t need anything fancy.
I just want to make your planning smoother and Sunday school a little more fun for the kids.
1. Pumpkin Paper Plate Craft
I like this craft because it’s straightforward and the supplies are easy to grab. Paint a paper plate orange, then glue on a green stem and leaf. Suddenly, you’ve got a pumpkin.
Kids get to practice cutting and gluing, and it just fits with all things fall and Halloween.
2. Apple Stamp Painting
I enjoy using apple halves dipped in paint to make art. Kids can practice their motor skills and create colorful prints. It’s quick to set up and always feels like fall in Sunday school.
3. Acorn Necklace Making
Making acorn necklaces is simple and actually pretty fun. Kids thread acorns onto strings, working on their fine motor skills. It’s a nice way to connect with the season and nature.
4. Thankful Tree Wall Hanging
This one really helps kids focus on gratitude. We cut paper leaves, and the children write what they’re thankful for. Then, we hang the leaves on a paper or felt tree on the wall. It’s simple, and honestly, it’s pretty meaningful.
5. Candy Corn Felt Banner
Making candy corn felt banners is something I look forward to every fall. They’re easy and fun to make.
You can hang them up anywhere for a seasonal touch.
Kids like this one because the steps are simple and the materials are easy to handle.
6. Leaf Rubbing Art
Leaf rubbing art just needs leaves, crayons, and paper.
We put a leaf under the paper and rub a crayon on top, and the leaf’s shape and texture appear. Kids get to learn about nature while making something cool.
7. Paper Bag Scarecrow
This craft is easy and uses things like paper bags and paint. Kids can make a scarecrow puppet for fall. It works for Sunday school or any children’s group, really.
8. Pinecone Bird Feeder
I like turning pinecones into bird feeders. First, I spread peanut butter (or another sticky spread) on the pinecone. Then, I roll it in bird seed so the seeds stick.
Tie on a string, and you’re ready to hang it outside. It’s quick, and kids love helping feed the birds in autumn.
9. Harvest Handprint Wreath
Handprints make a colorful harvest wreath. Kids paint their hands in fall colors and press them on paper in a circle. It’s a hands-on way for them to explore textures and shapes while making a seasonal decoration.
10. Paper Pumpkin Luminaries
I make paper pumpkin luminaries using orange paper and a few easy cutouts. Kids like making them since they’re safe and simple.
When we finish, we pop a battery-operated light inside so they glow softly.
11. Gratitude Jar Activity
Gratitude jars help kids pause and think about what they’re thankful for. Each child writes or draws something good from their day and drops it in the jar. It’s a hands-on way to teach thankfulness.
12. Tissue Paper Fall Leaves
Making tissue paper fall leaves is both simple and colorful. Kids crumple and glue tissue paper to create leaves that look almost real. This one lets them explore autumn colors and practice their fine motor skills, too.
13. Cotton Ball Clouds with Raindrops
I use cotton balls for soft clouds, then add paper raindrops hanging below. It’s easy, and kids pick up a bit about rainy weather while having a good time.
14. Paper Acorn Puppets
Paper acorn puppets are simple and fun. Kids color and decorate them however they like. These puppets are great for telling stories or acting out lessons in Sunday school.
15. Bible Verse Leaf Garland
I love making a Bible Verse Leaf Garland with kids. We grab some colorful paper, cut out leaf shapes, and jot down simple Bible verses on each one. After that, we string the leaves together to make a cheerful garland.
Kids seem to remember God’s word better when it’s part of a hands-on project like this. Plus, it’s simple and fits right in with fall lessons.
