Getting ready
Age & adult help
Repeated circle folds and accurate gluing make this a more involved paper construction.
Help with matching folds and gluing the sections evenly. An adult can assemble the ornament after younger children colour the pieces.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors, glue. String is optional if the finished ornament is hung.
Time & preparation
One ornament, including colouring, cutting and assembly. 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 tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Luke 8:40–48
A woman who has suffered bleeding for twelve years approaches Jesus in a crowd and touches his clothing. Jesus stops to hear her story and addresses her with dignity after she comes forward trembling.
Main takeaway: Jesus notices a person whose need could have remained hidden in the crowd.
Before you hang the ornament
Read the illustrated story circles in sequence before joining them and adding the hanging thread.
Follow the crowd, the touch, Jesus stopping and the conversation. Speak respectfully about illness and do not describe suffering as proof of weak faith.
Younger learners can name a pictured moment with adult support. Older learners can explain how that moment connects with the one before and after it.
Questions to explore
- Why might the woman have approached quietly?
- Why is Jesus stopping important?
- How can we make room to hear someone who is easily overlooked?
