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. An adult may need to cut the handle opening.
Time & preparation
One door hanger, including colouring and cutting. 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: 1 Kings 3:16–28
Two women bring Solomon a dispute about a baby. His startling proposed test reveals the compassion of the child’s mother, and the living child is returned to her.
Main takeaway: Solomon’s judgment pays attention to the child’s welfare and the mother’s compassion.
Before you hang it up
Read the words on the hanger and connect the design with the passage before choosing a place for it.
An adult should explain that the threatened division is a test, not an action to copy. Focus on protecting the child and recognising the mother’s response.
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 dispute was brought to Solomon?
- Which response put the baby’s life first?
- Why should a fair decision protect vulnerable people?

What help might children need with this activity?
