Then something amazing happened! The little bit of food became enough to feed everyone. All the people ate until they were full, and there were even twelve baskets of leftovers! Jesus showed His great love and power by caring for all the people. No one went hungry. Watch the Jesus Feeds the 5,000 Video to help teach the story! Step 1: Gather your supplies! Print your fishes and loaves cutouts onto cardstock paper. Next, cut your paper plate in half and decorate! I decided to cover my paper plate in tissue paper squares. This is great for building fine motor skills. Step 2: Use scissors to cut out the images, then use markers and crayons to color in the pictures. Be sure to count the number of fish and the number of loaves! Step 3: Glue your fishes and loaves to the basket! A great way to remember where to find the story of Jesus feeds the 5,000 is to write the Bible verse reference on the back. The story can be found in all of the gospels, and I found that John’s is the most detailed. Reference whichever book you use. Step 4: Add your finishing touches! I decided to add a little bit of glitter to my basket. Be sure to hang your finished craft somewhere to remind yourself of how much Jesus loves and provides for his people.
