Getting ready
Age & adult help
The outside shape and door-handle opening need more controlled cutting than a straight bookmark.
Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. An adult may need to cut the handle opening.
Time & preparation
One door hanger, including colouring and cutting. 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: Revelation 21:1–22:5
John sees a new heaven and earth and the holy city, where God dwells with his people. Tears, death and pain pass away, and the final vision includes life, light and restored fellowship.
Main takeaway: The new-creation vision offers hope in God’s presence and the ending of sorrow.
Before you hang it up
Read the words on the hanger and connect the design with the passage before choosing a place for it.
Notice the city, light, river or tree where represented, and connect them with the passage’s promises. Allow children to ask questions without claiming the artwork shows every detail literally.
Younger learners can explain the pictured event in their own words. Older learners can choose one idea from the reading to remember when they see the hanger again.
Questions to explore
- What sorrows does the passage say will end?
- What does God dwelling with people mean in this vision?
- How can hope encourage care for people who are hurting now?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download contains 2 PDFs with 2 pages in total: Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf (1 page); TheNewHeavenandNewEarth_Revelation21_22.pdf (1 page). This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
How do I make the door hanger?
Colour the illustrated hanger, cut around its outline and prepare the handle opening. Use the finished sign to retell the pictured account before hanging it on a suitable door handle. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Revelation 21:1–22:5.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. Instructions-DoorHandleStory.pdf: keep as a shared assembly guide. TheNewHeavenandNewEarth_Revelation21_22.pdf: print the page for each learner or group. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper or printer-compatible light card, colouring pencils and scissors. An adult should help with the handle opening and tight curves. The hanger is a printable cut-out, not a supplied physical door sign.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 6–10 years. Prepare the door-handle opening and help with curved edges. Younger children can colour an adult-prepared hanger. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
