Materials Needed for the Ten Commandments Craft:

  • The two page 10 Commandments Craft printable for each child
  • Scissors, if age appropriate
  • Glue
  • Color crayons, markers, or color pencils, if desired

Directions for the Ten Commandments Craft:

  1. Gently fold the “door” page horizontally through the middle of a row of doors. Cut the side of the door along the black line.

2. Unfold the page. Insert your scissors into the side cut and carefully cut the top and bottom of each door. Repeat for all ten doors.

The doors will fold open along the dotted lines.

3. Use the glue to smear lines between the pictures on the top of the picture page, making sure to smear glue on the outer edges of the paper as well. Do not smear glue over the pictures.

4. Place the “door” page directly on top of the picture page, with both pages facing up.

5. Use your hand to smooth the top page onto the bottom page and allow a moment to dry.

6. Carefully fold the doors open along the dotted lines to reveal the picture and the words inside each “door”.

This free printable Ten Commandments Craft is a great way to introduce kids to God's Ten Commandments - Easy to make and perfect for home or Sunday School.

  7. Hi Anna,

    I love your crafts and have purchased several over the past several months. I do struggle teaching the Ten Commandments to my Faith Formation students and thought this would be a good resource. I love your ideas, but, I need a Catholic version of this craft. The commandments are out of our Catholic order and the verbiage is different. You usually offer your craft in different versions. Thank you.

    1. Marilyn, thank you so much for contacting me! The Ten Commandments crafts are unfortunately only available in the Protestant version. This is one of the few times (along with the books of the Old Testament) where the resources are going to differ. I appreciate you. May God bless you! – Anna Joy

  10. Re: 10 commandments craft.

    I really like this idea, but I would love to change some of the language to make it more kid friendly, like they do in Godly Play.

    Especially:
    1. Don’t serve other gods.
    3. Be serious when you say God's name.
    5. Honour your mother and father. (NZ English spelling of 'honour')
    7. Don’t break your marriage.
    9. Don’t lie.
    10. Don’t want what others have.

    Is there any chance you could give me permission to make these changes for my class?

  14. This craft and learning activity was amazing! The kids loved it, (age range 4-7). They enjoyed coloring and asking questions. They were engaged and proud of their creative learning experience. I precut the top page to save time during the learning session, It worked out well for the age group. Your instructions and ideas were right on target. Thank you for the inspiration. May you continue to be blessed in your ministry bringing edification and glory to God.

  27. When I try to save this craft I have no option to print, it says view-only format. Has something changed that it is not free to download and print after all?

    1. Angelina, thanks for asking! When you click the link, you will see “open with Google Docs” in the center. DO NOT click that. Instead, click the print or download icons on the far right at the top of the screen. It should work great, then. May God bless you! – Anna Joy

  38. Hi Anna,

    I have been looking around for simple resources and craft we can use in our Sunday school lessons and then I came across your website. All I can say is may the Good Lord bless you for the good work you do. I love every single one of them and cannot wait to use them. Tomorrow we will be doing the 10 commandments so it is nice that you have that here as well, unfortunately being that we have 30 children, we may not be able to get everything ready for the craft session but we will definitely be using it next week most likely. Thank you thank you thank you.

  59. Thank you for the 10 Commandment activity. (I also used some Mother’s Day activities which were were great!) I will be using the 10 commandment activity in the Religious Instruction class I teach as we are talking about the commandments as part of the lesson re David & his sin which caused a “domino effect” in his and others’ lives.
    Your practical activities are a great help! Thank you for making this available. God bless. Jo
