Getting ready

Age & adult help

A small set of recognisable vegetable pieces can be coloured and arranged with adult preparation.

An adult may need to pre-cut the vegetables and bowl. Children can choose and arrange the pieces, with help taping them in place.

What you’ll need

Printer, paper or light card, scissors, tape. Colouring pencils or crayons are needed for the black-and-white version.

Time & preparation

One bowl craft using either the colour or black-and-white version. Teaching time is additional.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. 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 tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Daniel 1:8–16

Daniel asks not to eat the king’s food and proposes a ten-day test with vegetables and water. The official agrees, and Daniel and his friends are permitted to continue their chosen food.

Main takeaway: Daniel’s decision joins conviction with a respectful request.

As you build Daniel’s bowl

Name the vegetable pieces and water in Daniel’s account, then use the bowl as a reminder of his respectful request.

Compare the royal food with the vegetables and water, then notice how Daniel makes his request. This account is not a nutrition experiment or a promise about appearance.

Younger learners can retell what Daniel asked for. Older learners can discuss how he expressed a conviction respectfully, without turning the story into a test of which child eats best.

Questions to explore

  • What did Daniel ask to eat and drink?
  • How did he speak to the official?
  • How can we explain a conviction respectfully?

I changed it so that you didn’t have to have the extra sheet of paper to double the bowl. I had them cut a slit on the top of the bowl and put the veggies in it and tape to the back.
