This great children’s craft will teach preschoolers about how Jesus takes care of us, his lambs. It will give you an opportunity to teach about John 10:27. 

Prepare for the Preschool Bible Lamb Craft

You’ll Need:

• Bible (check out this kid-friendly version!)
• paper plate (1 per child)
• white cardstock
• pink cardstock
• scissors (for Leader only)
• permanent markers (for Leader only)
• glue
• cotton balls
• craft stick (1 per child)

Easy Prep:

• For each child, cut out the center of their paper plate. Make sure the hole in the center of the plate is big enough for the child’s face.
• For each child, cut two half-oval shapes from white cardstock and two slightly smaller half-oval shapes from pink cardstock. When glued together, these will be the sheep’s ears.

Make Lamb Masks

Read aloud John 10:27.

Say: In the Bible, Jesus says that we’re kind of like sheep. And Jesus says that he’s our Shepherd—someone who takes very good care of sheep.

Have kids make sheep sounds.

Say: As Jesus’ sheep, we can listen to Jesus and follow Jesus. Let’s make sheep masks to help us remember that Jesus is our caring shepherd.

• Give each child a precut paper plate.
• Write kids’ names on the backs of their plates.
• Hand out cotton balls. Help kids glue cotton balls around the entire rim of the plate.
• Hand out the pink and white cardstock shapes—each kid should get two of each color.
• Have kids glue the pink half-ovals on top of the white half-ovals. This step makes the sheep ears.
• Glue the sheep ears to the top of the mask.
• Glue a craft stick to the bottom of the mask. This will be a handle for kids to hold up their masks.

Say: Every time you wear your sheep mask, you can remember that you’re Jesus’ sheep and he is your Shepherd who loves and takes good care of you.
