Today, we want to share with you a printable that we think you will love. It’s called “The Gospel Pumpkin.” This printable is a great way to teach children about the Gospel during the Halloween season.
The Gospel Pumpkin
The Gospel Pumpkin tells the story of how Jesus has taken away all of our sins and made us clean. The printable includes a picture of a pumpkin with different parts of a pumpkin carved to represent different aspects of the gospel. The stem is shaped like a cross, the eyes represent our hearts, the nose represents the forgiveness we receive from Jesus, and the mouth represents the joy we experience when we are saved.
