Help your children remember God’s mercy through the story of Jonah—with a whale craft they color, then slide to watch the story come to life.

Some stories are easier for little hearts to hold when they can see them unfold. This free Jonah & the Whale slider craft turns one of the dearest stories in scripture into something your children can watch with their own hands.

They color the whale, then pull a story strip through its belly—and Jonah’s journey appears one scene at a time, from the storm to the belly of the whale to standing safe on shore. A ready-to-color design makes it simple to begin.

Hands-on, gentle, and the kind of craft that turns story time into something they’ll ask to do again.
