Getting ready
Age & adult help
The original catalogue requires an educator to review the story’s wording and illustrations before assigning a child age range.
Review the actual printable and passage before choosing it for your group.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors, glue or tape. An adult can help fit the band.
Time & preparation
One crown, including colouring, cutting and fitting. Teaching time is additional.
Construction profile: 5–10 years. Story content prevents a confirmed child age recommendation without viewing the asset. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Acts 5:1–11
Ananias and Sapphira present part of a sale’s proceeds while pretending it is the whole amount. Peter makes clear that giving was voluntary but their claim was false; the account ends with severe judgment.
Main takeaway: The issue is dishonesty, not a rule that everyone must give all their money.
Before you wear the crown
Read the crown’s words and look at its story or symbol details before using it as a reminder.
An adult should assess the account’s suitability and explain voluntary giving. Do not use the deaths to threaten children about mistakes or donations.
Younger learners can choose one pictured detail to talk about. Older learners can explain the reminder without assuming that every crown design is about a king or queen.
Questions to explore
- What false claim did the couple make?
- What did Peter say about keeping the money?
- Why does honest giving matter more than appearing generous?
