Help little hearts discover the immense love of Jesus through this hands-on Sacred Heart of Jesus craft. As children build the Sacred Heart piece by piece, they learn the meaning behind each symbol and are reminded that Jesus loves them with a heart full of mercy, love, and goodness.
This interactive Catholic activity introduces children to one of the most beloved devotions of the Church in a simple, age-appropriate way. As they assemble the heart, thorns, cross, and flames, families can talk about how Jesus is always with us—especially when we are sad, scared, or make mistakes.
The activity concludes with a special heart sticker that children place inside the Sacred Heart, symbolizing that they are loved, known, and held close to Jesus.
