Easter Story Sequence Craft | Bead & Yarn Chain

This printable Holy Week craft helps young children learn and retell the Easter story through a hands-on beading activity. Each card represents a key moment from Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday (not the full Holy Week), featuring simple illustrations and text that children color, cut out, and string together. As children create their Easter story sequence, they can tell the events leading to Jesus’ resurrection while developing fine motor skills.

Perfect for Sunday School classes, the craft includes six illustrated moments from Holy Week: Jesus riding a donkey on Palm Sunday, crowds shouting “Hosanna” with palm branches, Jesus wearing a crown of thorns, Jesus crucified on Good Friday, the empty tomb on Easter Sunday, and a heart with cross symbolizing God’s love.

The finished craft becomes a meaningful keepsake that helps Pre-K through lower elementary children share the Easter story in their own words.
