Turn the parable of the Good Samaritan into something your child does—bandage the hurt traveler, one wound at a time.
When Jesus taught what it means to love your neighbor, He told the story of a man left hurting by the road—and the stranger who stopped to care for him. This free Good Samaritan Bandage Craft puts that same act of mercy into your child’s hands.
Kids color the wounded traveler, then bandage his cuts and scrapes with strips of gauze, medical tape, or paper bandages—covering each wound the way the Samaritan did. As their hands work, the story becomes something they do, not just something they hear. A full-color version makes it simple to start.
It’s a hands-on way to help your child feel the heart of the parable—“He went to him and bandaged his wounds” (Luke 10:34)—and learn that loving your neighbor means stopping to help when someone is hurting.


What this craft teaches

Two ways to make it — a full-color version ready to bandage, plus a black-and-white one to color first
Bandage it for real — wrap the wounds with gauze, medical tape, or paper strips from home
A lesson that sticks — mercy and kindness become something they act out, not just a story they hear
