Sunday School Crafts: Zacchaeus

March 4, 2013 By Jackie 15 Comments

Yesterday my Sunday school class learned about Zacchaeus. I read the story from The Jesus Storybook Bible and then we made this craft.

The children first used a brown crayon to color a large popsicle stick to serve as a tree trunk. Then, they decorated a small wooden spoon to represent Zacchaeus.

A small green paper plate cut in half represented the leaves of a tree. I cut two small slits in it for the spoon to fit in.

We used packing tape to attach the “tree trunk” to the “leaves”. The finishing touch was to glue a small piece of paper to the front which explained what the lesson was about.

Of course, we had to sing “Zacchaeus Was a Wee Little Man” to finish our lesson.

    At the beginning of Lent my son asked for a Zacchaeus craft and I could not think of something fun and easy for him to do. I wonder if he still wants to do one.

    Thanks.

      Let me know if you give this a try, Lisa.

    Where can you buy the large wooden spoons to decorate as Zacchaeus?

    • Jackie

      Hi, Jennifer. I either purchased the little wooden spoons at Walmart or Joann Fabrics. They would be near the popsicle sticks. Let me know if you can’t find them.

    We’re trying this craft in Sunday School a week from Sunday. Thanks again for all the awesome craft ideas!

    • Jackie

      Thank you, Jessie! I hope the craft worked well for your class.

    So cute. I am going to do this for the month of Feb. when we have our Zaccheus lesson in Sabbath School!

    • Jackie

      That’s great! I am glad you like it. 🙂

  • Linda

    Many thanks for this craft idea. I found your page while searching for Zacchaeus crafts for my Sunday School class this week and my class made them today. I’ve credited your page on our Sunday School blog at http://bristobaptistchurchsundayschool.blogspot.co.uk/. Our version was slightly modified as we didn’t have any green plates.

      Thank you so much, Linda. I think your kids’ Zacchaeus crafts turned out so cute. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks, Shirley! I thought your video was great. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
