| This Prodigal son craft is a classic and simple enough for any age. The scene of the father running to meet his son is a beautiful reminder of God’s love for us. |  |

To make this craft you will need a pair of scissors, a craft knife, a hole punch one printout page and four split-pins. I’d recommend either printing of stiff paper/card or mounting this one. You may want to make the raft knife slit in advance for younger groups. Choose your template: For printing in full colour (for those with less time) PDF – 1 page For printing with partial colour (for those who like to colour) PDF – 1 page For printing with no colour (for those without colour printing) PDF – 1 page |

Cut all four pieces. There is an easycut white border on the pigs. This craft does not require precise cutting as long as the mechanism is not severed. |
 |
Make holes in the white circles, a hole punch is ideal for this – if you have younger groups this can be done in advance. |
 |
There are 2 white rectangles that also need to be removed. While the craft will work without this extra step it becomes very flimsy. |
 |
Start by attaching the two pig pieces in place using split pins. |
 |
Thread the long handled piece through the slits so the handle is on the front at the right of the craft |
 |
Attach the 2 remaining split pins to connect the pigs – this is the hardest task so younger kids may need help. |
 |
Hold one handle in each hand and move inwards and outwards to make the pigs eat. |
