"Parting of the Jordan River and the 12 Stones"

Materials Needed

Blue construction paper

1 piece of brown construction paper

Grey or black tissue paper (or black colored paper)

Scissors

Glue

Marker

Step-by-step Instructions

• Step 1: Get one piece of blue construction paper, one piece of brown construction paper, grey or black tissue paper (or black colored paper), scissors, glue, and a marker.

• Step 2: Fold the blue paper in half like a book, then open it flat again.

• Step 3: Cut a straight line right down the middle fold to make two equal blue rectangles.

• Step 4: Put the brown paper flat on the table. This will be the dry riverbed path.

• Step 5: Glue the left edge of one blue piece to the far left edge of the brown paper.

• Step 6: Glue the right edge of the other blue piece to the far right edge of the brown paper.

• Step 7: Fold the inner edges of both blue papers backward so they stand up. Use your marker to draw wavy water lines on them to make 3D standing river walls.

• Step 8: Tear your grey or black tissue paper (or black colored paper) into 12 small pieces.

• Step 9: Squeeze and roll each piece into a small, tight ball to make 12 textured, crumpled paper stones.

• Step 10: Put 12 dots of glue on the brown riverbed path and press your crumpled paper stones down onto them firmly.
