Overview
A Simple Craft That Helps Kids Connect Faith to Real People
Paper People give kids a hands-on way to respond to what they’re learning at VBS by connecting God’s truth to real lives.
At Rainforest Falls VBS, preschoolers use Paper People on Day 1 of Paradise Preschool Craft & Play to create a “Mini Me” craft—decorating a paper person to look like themselves as they celebrate God as their Creator. The activity builds confidence, reinforces the Bible Point, and gives kids a personal reminder they can take home.
At Galaxy VBS, Paper People take on a service-focused role as part of Projects-With-a-Purpose®. Kids decorate paper people to represent the individuals or groups they’re serving and praying for, helping them see how God’s love extends beyond themselves. Whether kids are celebrating who God made them to be or learning to share God’s love with others, Paper People turn big faith ideas into something tangible and memorable.
Why Paper People Work So Well at VBS
- Personal and purpose-driven: Kids create something meaningful that represents real people.
- Preschool-friendly and adaptable: Simple enough for ages 3+, flexible enough for multiple ministry moments.
- Faith made visible: Turns abstract Bible truths into something kids can see and hold.
- Lasting impact: Finished Paper People serve as visual reminders long after VBS ends.
