Shipwrecked Bible Crafts
These are the crafts that can be used with the Group’s Shipwrecked V.B.S. program.
Although most Vacation Bible School curriculum programs provide or sell their own Bible crafts, many times they have nothing to do with the Bible story of the day or not much thought went into designing them in the first place.
My hope is that these crafts will help make planning your Vacation Bible School a little less stressful.

Crossing The Jordan
A diorama style craft to be used for the story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan and entering the promised land.
“14 So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest), 16 the waters which were [d]flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were [e]flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho. 17 And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.” Joshua 3:14-17
Instructions
- Print the template on cardstock. You will need to use a sturdier paper than regular printing paper. (Template)
- Color and cut out all of the pieces.
- Fold along the line where the wall of water and the dry ground meet. THis will create the crease to get it to stand.
- Fold the rectangular piece back on every figure, creating the base.
- Glue the figures onto the dry ground.
Water To Wine
This craft is an illustration of Christ’s first recorded miracle.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him. 9 When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew)… 11 This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.” John 2:7-9, 11
Instructions
- Print the template. (Template)
- Color and cut out both pieces.
- Cut the piece from the bottom of the largest piece.
- Use a paper fastener/ split pin/ metal brad to attach the circle piece to the largest piece.
God Sends Quails
Throughout the Israelites’ travel in the dessert, they had witnessed the Lord’s immense power and miraculous intervention again and again.
In particular, they had seen God provide for them day after day through the manna. The food was so nourishing, they never got hungry, and best of all it tasted good. It’s hard to believe that anyone would have complained.
But that is just what the Israelites did.
Instructions
- Print the template on card stock. (Template)
- Color and cut out all of the pieces.
- Glue the back piece to each side of the quail so that the craft will be able to stand.
