Slide, turn, tuck—and bring the story of Samuel to life!
Children will love creating a tiny bed inside a matchbox for young Samuel. They can tuck Samuel under a soft paper-towel blanket with his pillow and teddy bear, then slide the matchbox open to reveal him sleeping.
But the fun does not stop there! Turn the Samuel figure over to show his smiling, awake face as he listens for God’s voice.
This interactive Bible craft gives children a memorable way to retell the story from 1 Samuel 3. When craft time is over, all the pieces fit neatly inside the matchbox, making it easy for children to take their projects home.
Children can:
- Color and assemble their own miniature matchbox bed
- Tuck Samuel under the blanket
- Slide the matchbox open and closed
- Turn Samuel from sleeping to awake
- Act out Samuel listening and answering God
- Store the pieces inside for a fun take-home craft
The printable includes patterns for Samuel, a pillow, teddy bear, blanket, and matchbox pieces.
Supplies needed:
Matchbox, paper towel, crayons or markers, scissors, and glue.
