Empty Tomb Popsicle Stick Puppets – Easter Resurrection Preschool Bible Craft

The Empty Tomb Popsicle Stick Puppets craft is a hands-on Easter activity designed to help preschoolers and toddlers understand the true Bible story of the Resurrection in a simple, meaningful way.

Children cut out the angel and stone pieces, attach them to popsicle sticks, and use them to act out the Easter story — that Jesus is alive. This interactive craft works beautifully for Sunday School, children’s church, Christian preschool classrooms, and homeschool Bible time.

This craft pairs perfectly with the matching preschool Bible lesson and the “Jesus Is Alive” YouTube song. Teachers can play the song softly in the background while children cut, glue, and tape their puppets, helping reinforce the Resurrection message through movement, repetition, and play.

🎵 Teacher Tip:
Play the “Jesus Is Alive” song during craft time and encourage children to say together, “Jesus is alive!”
