Needed for Each Child: Three sheets white construction paper;
blue and brown crayons stripped of the paper; Scotch tape; scissors;
one-half toilet paper roll; 2 wiggly eyes (optional); washable colored
markers; Elmer’s glue.
Activity: The boys and girls rub one side of a sheet of white
construction paper brown for dirt. Children crayon rub both sides of
another piece of white construction paper blue to represent water and
then cut in half to form two 4 ¼” x 11” pieces. These two pieces are
taped to the brown sheet. Children color the toilet paper roll with
markers, design a face, and attach to the roll to make an Israelite
person. The craft project can be used for re-telling the Bible story by
parting the sea (opening the flaps) and the person walking across on the
dirt path.
