This month in our preschool Bible classes, we’re learning about the little boy who gave his lunch to Jesus—just five loaves and two fish. It wasn’t fancy, but it was enough. Because when we give what we have to Jesus, He can use it to do something BIG.
Here’s a simple (and snackable!) craft to bring that lesson home:
✂️ Make Your Own Miracle Snack Basket
What You’ll Need:
-
2 paper plates
-
A stapler or tape
-
Scissors
-
Crayons, stickers, or washi tape for decorating
-
A handful of Wheat Thins (5 “loaves”)
-
2 Goldfish crackers (“fish”)
-
Optional: A verse card with Luke 6:38 — “Give, and it will be given to you.”
Instructions:
Make the Basket:
Fold one paper plate in half. Cut a semi-circle from the top to create a handle shape. This is the top of your basket.
Staple Together:
Staple or tape the edges of the folded plate to a second full plate. Leave the top open so it forms a pouch.
Decorate:
Let your preschooler decorate their “basket” with crayons, stickers, or any craft supplies you have. Write their name and a short phrase like, “Jesus can use my lunch!”
Add the Snack:
Place five Wheat Thins and two Goldfish crackers inside the basket. As you do, talk about how the little boy gave what he had—and Jesus made it enough.
Talk About It:
-
“What did the boy share with Jesus?”
-
“Can Jesus use what we give Him too?”
-
“What could you give to Jesus today?”
This craft isn’t just about snacks—it’s about showing our kids that even the smallest gifts, when given to God, can bless others in big ways. Perfect for your kitchen table, church class, or summer Bible time!
