| These Plagues scroll viewers showing Pharaoh, Moses and Aaron looking on, are a great storytelling tool. Simple turn one pole at a time to watch the plagues scroll past in order. All 10 plagues are represented. |  |
| The wedding at Cana miracle hinges on the collection of stone water jars of which this craft highlights. These empty contains give you a springboard for discussing how they can be filled. Coloured candy or popcorn would be great for taking home, or use for a play space with bright pompoms. |  |
| This is a classic craft for an ever popular story. It used a small window and a split pin to show the water changing into wine. When the transformation took place is unknown but that water was often added to wine is a staple fact of the time and region. This craft is quick and simple to do, it’s also a good craft for younger groups and the cutting is very forgiving – though I’d recommend preparing by removing the window in advance. |  |
| Advent is a great time to open those little doors and remove the chocolate or toy within, but as we do this why not add in one of these prompt cards? They number from the 1st to the 25th and follow the story of Christmas through characters and objects. They also compliment into the advent candle wreath craft and the traditional 4 characters used to symbolize the candles on an advent ring. |

| This Good Samaritan storytelling aid combines the fun of a lift the flap book with the ease of a simple craft even younger kids can make. The best way to use this craft is to make a version in advance so you can show the children how it works and how it tells the story. For our international friends there is a version with no text on it. |  |
| The good Samaritan is, in many respects, a lesson in empathy and there is no easier way to teach empathy that by having the children act out the story. This little theater craft allows just that – minus the robbers and violence. It is a craft best done in small groups as there is quite a lot of cutting to do. This is JWL’s second bible theater and you can use them interchangeably if you want to – the other was attached to the Andrew lesson. |

| Moses and the burning bush is a moving alive image and and such these little viewers make the bush seem to come to life like a hologram. I’ve been careful not to use a video file so you can download the .gif file onto any device and do the activity without internet access. It works best on a black background which is the default for some image viewers and browsers. |  |
| Moses story centres around that pivotal moment when he saw the flames surrounding the bush. Some crafts we just stumble across and that’s very much how this one came around, it’s simple enough to do with the younger children but older ones can add to this base by adding their own tiny flames to the branches. |  |
