Paint Blowing Craft
What you need:
- paint (we used acrylic paint in red, yellow, and orange)
- paper
- straws (you can make this craft eco-friendly by usingpaper straws)
How to do Paint Blowing for Pentecost
- Squeeze some paint directly onto your paper. You need a fair bit of paint to get some good distance with your paint blowing.
- Point your straw at the paint (not in the paint) and blow.
Parents, you may want to write the verse ahead of time: Bible Verse for this craft | Acts 2:4 Then, like wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks.
How you can experiment with paint blowing:
- blow the paint in different directions
- use different amounts of force (hard, sharp blows v. softer and longer blows)
- put one color on top of another color.

Children’s Church, May 24, 2020
Materials:
-Popsicle sticks (or accordian book template)
-12 Disciple printout
-crayons, markers
-tape, glue
-Construction paper (brown, blue, white) to make boat and water
Directions:
- Color each of the disciples and cut out figures.
- Either glue them onto the accordion mini-book if you are making the mini-book (refer to the directions page for mini-book) OR glue/tape each apostle to a popsicle stick.
- You can use the boat template or create your own. Make sure to leave the top of the bottom open to place your disciples in the boat!
**Parents, this is a great activity to talk about discipleship and what it means to follow Jesus. You can reference how several of the disciples gave up their old life to follow Jesus (Peter, Paul), left their home and belongings. While Jesus isn’t calling us to leave our loved ones today, what are some ways we can follow Jesus in our own lives as kids? As families?
I would love to see you post pictures of kid’s finished craft on The Gatherlings’ Facebook page!
Blessings,
Ms. Carmen xxx
