Jesus is My Light Bible Craft
There are plenty of verses in the Bible that tell us that Jesus is the light of the world and that if we accept him as our Savior we don’t have to walk in darkness. What a wonderful truth for all of us to hold onto! Sometimes when teaching kids about God’s love and his character, it’s easier for them to digest the messaging by pairing it with a simple activity or craft. Visual reminders are fantastic for little learners. This simple lightbulb craft is a fun way to imagine Jesus being our light among the darkness.

How To Make a Let your Light Shine Bible Craft
Step 1: Prepare the Lightbulb Pieces
Using this template, cut out three to 4 (we chose 3) lightbulbs from your yellow cardstock. This color choice is perfect for simulating the bright, glowing effect of a lightbulb.
Step 2: Create the 3D Lightbulb
Fold each lightbulb cutout in half vertically. Then, glue them together edge-to-edge. This stacking and gluing will create a lovely 3D effect, making the lightbulb appear to stand out from the paper.
Glue your lightbulb to your black piece of cardstock. Using this template, cut out and glue your “Jesus is my Light” word box to your black paper.
Step Three: Add the Details
Take the middle lightbulb cutouts and draw the filament lines inside it. These lines represent the wires and elements inside a real lightbulb, adding a touch of realism to your craft. Add details to the base of the lightbulb (grey piece)
Cut out small rectangles of yellow cardstock and glue around lightbulb to make it look like your lightbulb is shining.
This craft is a great activity to pair with a Sunday school lesson plan. It’s also a great project for Bible camps, vacation Bible school, or just a quiet afternoon of crafting at home.
Crafts like these are more than just a fun activity; they are a meaningful way to connect with Biblical themes and express one’s faith creatively.
