The Good Shepherd Story Kit

The Good Shepherd Story Kit

The Good Shepherd Story Kit is a hands-on, heirloom-quality resource designed to help children encounter 6 Bible stories through play, imagination, and wonder. Rooted in Psalm 23 and John 10, this kit invites children to see, touch, and retell the story of the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep by name. Perfect for church classrooms, schools, or home use, every component has been thoughtfully crafted to create a beautiful and durable storytelling experience.

This set is part of a larger series exploring the “I AM” statements of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. Six complete kits will be released over time, each designed to help children discover more about who Jesus is. The Good Shepherd is the first in this collection.

What’s Included

• Good Shepherd Story Mat (18" x 30") – A felt-like polyester top with a non-slip rubber base. The vibrant design features a pasture, a winding path, rocky “dark valley,” and calm “quiet waters.”  (Note: this story mat will be used in upcoming story sets, so it is versatile!)

• Good Shepherd Storage Pouch – A double-sided pouch featuring the Good Shepherd on one side and a green vine motif on the other (a liturgical cue for Ordinary Time and abiding with Christ, our True Vine). Spacious and durable, it keeps all your wooden story materials and story cards together.

• Good Shepherd Story Cards (Set of 8) – Jumbo 8.5" x 5.5" glossy cards with rounded corners. Includes an overview card, 6 Bible story teaching cards (with Scripture reference, parent/teacher notes, visual icons, storytelling script, actions, and “I wonder…” questions), and a Psalm 23 memory aid card with full text on one side and a first-letter memory tool on the reverse.

• Wooden Figures & Sheep – Handcrafted in-house and made to order. Includes 2 peg people (5.5" tall, one with a shepherd’s crook) and 6 engraved hardwood sheep (5 outlined + 1 filled “black sheep”). Chunky, made from hardwood, sanded smooth, and built to last.
