How to Use the Jesus Turns Water to Wine Pinwheel Craft

Follow these simple steps:

Print the worksheet on regular or slightly thicker paper for durability.
Color the illustrations — grapes, water drops, jars, and Jesus.
Carefully cut out both circular pieces.
Cut along the indicated lines to create the pinwheel flaps.
Layer the circles as shown.
Secure the center with a brass fastener (split pin).

Let them spin after answering — it reinforces the “transformation” moment in a powerful visual way.
