Bring the story of Jonah to life with this interactive puppet craft — perfect for Sunday school, VBS, or homeschool Bible lessons!
This printable craft includes two versions of the “big fish”:
A full-color version (blue with purple fins)
A color-your-own version for students to personalize
Also included is a small Jonah cutout that can be placed inside the fish — allowing children to act out the story as they learn it. This hands-on craft is a fun and memorable way to reinforce Bible literacy and spark deeper conversations.
📖 Biblical Connection:
The story of Jonah is one of the most beloved in the Old Testament — a powerful account of God’s justice, mercy, and love. Many children's materials stop at the miracle of the fish swallowing and releasing Jonah, but the heart of the story continues into Jonah’s time in Nineveh and his struggle with God’s compassion.
We encourage you to use this activity not only to retell the dramatic moment with the fish, but also to explore the deeper moral lessons found in the latter chapters of the Book of Jonah.
