Whale Bible Story Art for Little Kids

Hello, hello!

It’s that time of the month again and we’re sharing what we’ve been up to with Experience God. Of course we spent lots of time doing the fun, creative projects that were included in this month’s preschool curriculum kit

The little guy and I just couldn’t pass up making this cute whale craft. Isn’t it adorable? If you’re interested in making your own and teaching your little kids about the Jonah & the Whale bible story, then definitely keep reading.

If you’ve been around for a while, then you probably already know that each month, we receive an awesome box of preschool curriculum from Mother Goose Time.

And you know what, they’ve clearly thought of everything because they offer a Christian supplement too. Did I mention that we’re kinda in love with it? I’m sure that isn’t exactly a surprise, though. Lol…

Whale Bible Story Art for Little Kids

Visual Arts (32.2), Logic (20.1), Scientific Reasoning 25.3

What you’ll need

Bowl
Pipe Cleaner
Wiggle Eyes
Colored Paper
Scissors
Pain
Tape and/or Glue

Here’s how to do it

Ask: How do you think Jonah felt while in the belly of the whale?

Discuss when children have had feelings such as sadness, anger, fear, or excitement.
Paint the bowl blue.
Use the scissors to poke a small hole in the bottom of the bowl. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and put it in the hole with both ends sticking out to create a water spout.
Cut out some fins and a tail from the paper. Glue or tape on the fins, tails and wiggle eyes.

Explain: God sent a whale to save Jonah and to bring him back to knowing and trusting God.

The little guy is all about messy fun and especially when it results in something this awesome. He totally made a whale. All by himself even. Gotta love it!
