He is not here! For He has been resurrected, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Matthew 28:6
Supplies Needed:
- 8 Small black rocks (Between 1 – 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
- White paint pen
- Pre-printed 8 X 10 story stone page (or let each child make their own)
- Empty clear tennis ball canister
Instructions:
Use the paint pen to draw the following items on each rock:
| 1. Palm Leaf | “Jesus is Praised” Matthew 21:1-1 1 |
| 2. Cup and Bread | “Jesus gives the Lord’s Supper” Matthew 26:17-29 |
| 3. Hand | “Jesus prays” Matthew 26:36-46 |
| 4. Ear | “Jesus is arrested” Matthew 26:47-56 |
| 5. Crown of Thorns | “Jesus is mocked” Matthew 27:27-31 |
| 6. Three Crosses | “Jesus is crucified” Matthew 27:32-56 |
| 7. Tomb | “Jesus is buried” Matthew 27:57-66 |
| 8. Sunrise | “JESUS IS ALIVE” Matthew 28 |
Allow the paint to dry completely.
Tips:
- Spray clear sealant on the rocks and allow them to dry completely for a second time. This keeps the paint from chipping when they hit up against each other in the container.
- Print the scriptures in a booklet form and include it in the container with the rocks and mat.
- Consider laminating the Story Stones Mat if you are using regular copy paper – rolls up well and lasts longer.
Mission Opportunity:
Use the story stones to tell others about Jesus!
