The Mountains and Trees Rejoice Craft | Isaiah 55:12 Bible Craft | Handprint Tree | Sunday School Activity | Digital Download Printable
Let the hills sing and the trees clap! Celebrate the joy of following God with this 3D handprint tree craft inspired by Isaiah 55:12. This engaging and meaningful Bible craft for kids is perfect for Sunday School, Bible lessons, or faith-based art projects. As children trace and cut out their handprints to make “clapping trees,” they’ll be reminded of the joy that fills creation when we follow God. It’s a visual reminder that even nature rejoices when we say “yes” to Him!
This craft ties beautifully into lessons about God’s invitation, worship, and the joy of salvation—and makes a great companion activity to Isaiah 55, nature-themed Bible lessons, or even Earth Day with a Christian twist.
In this set, you get a color-only digital PDF file with:
▶︎ Full-color Craft Background: A printable page featuring mountains and hills in the background and a tree trunk in the foreground with the verse: “The mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” —Isaiah 55:12

Bonus Items:
Along with the main 3D handprint craft, this digital download also includes two meaningful bonus printables to deepen the message:
▶︎ “The Joy of God’s Invitation” Short Read-Aloud Story:
A kid-friendly devotional story connecting Isaiah 55:12 to the New Testament—highlighting how even the mountains and trees rejoice when we say yes to God, and how Jesus and the Father rejoice when we return to Him. This story references the Lost Sheep and the rejoicing that takes place when one is found.
▶︎ “You’re Invited!” Printable Worksheet:
A black-and-white invitation children can color and personalize. Includes a kid-friendly version of Isaiah 55:12, space to respond to God’s invitation, and joyful imagery of nature celebrating God’s love.
These bonus items are perfect for extending the lesson, encouraging reflection, and helping children see the joy that comes from following God.
