There is a real ‘potential’ focus within the Young Jesus story, and this craft ties into the idea that this child is developing into the man who will one day fully claim the title of Christ.
To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, scissors, and some paper glue.
Add any colour you want, then cut out the two rectangles.
Fold the long strip in half, blank sides touching.
Fold back each side, the folds should go along the dotted lines.
Add glue to the two inside sections.
Glue them together – doing this first will make the cutting easier.
Cut along the dotted lines to separate the middle three ‘flaps’
Glue this piece to the background. This will add stability.
Enjoy transforming young Jesus by adding wisdom, stature, and favour to see who he will fully become.
