Getting ready
Age & adult help
Colouring broad crown sections is accessible, with adult support for trimming and fitting the headband.
Help cut the crown outline, join the bands and fit the crown to the child. Read story captions aloud.
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.
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. An adult should adapt discussion of death, danger or distress to the group.
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: Exodus 7–12
Pharaoh repeatedly refuses to release the enslaved Israelites. A series of plagues exposes the struggle between Pharaoh’s power and God’s demand that the people go; the story leads into Passover and the Exodus.
Main takeaway: Pharaoh’s refusal to release the people brings suffering, while God acts to free them.
Before you wear the crown
Read the crown’s words and look at its story or symbol details before using it as a reminder.
Track Pharaoh’s repeated refusal rather than treating the plagues as a list of exciting disasters. Read the final plague with adult guidance and connect it to the Exodus.
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 was Pharaoh being asked to do?
- How did his decisions affect others?
- What would a leader who listened have done differently?
