This is the second craft for the Healing at the pool story, and both are very similar. Sometimes though it’s much more helpful o have a flatter version of a craft for kids to store or take away. This craft again features Bethesda pool and has a great story prompt by using the picture of the invalid before Jesus arrived printed on his mat ready to unfurl and tell his story. |
To make this craft you will need a pair of scissors, glue, and the printout. I also used a pen to help me start the rolling. For printing in Colour PDF – 1 page For printing everything with No colour PDF – 1 page |
Start by adding your colour if needed and cutting out the background. Put this to one side for later. |
Take the second printout and cut out the invalid and his arm. A Jesus graphic is included but not needed for this craft, discuss with your group if you wish to use it or not! |
Glue the two arm pieces together and trim if needed. Start at the top with the column folds. |
Cut out the mat and roll it up tightly. |
Glue the mat onto the healed invalid inside the box shown and along part of the arm. |
Glue the invalid to the background, adding the Jesus character if you wish. |
