Target Age
Preschool, Kindergarten, and 1st
Contents
3 plastic boxes with filled with sand, blue and silver glitter (stars) and wooden Messiah figure, all from Michaels craft store
Trunk for oak tree of Mamre from Haba Middle Eastern blocks, and top of tree from Constructive Playthings Wood Block Nativity Set
Abram and Sarai figures from Worship Woodworks set 609
Angel figure is sadly not the same size as Abram and Sarai — it’s a good half inch thicker. I wish I had known beforehand that the sets were not interchangeable. But the angel is from Worship Woodworks set 637.
Tent is a square building block with a piece of scrap leather (available from craft stores) draped over it
Explanation
This was inspired by the Godly Play: Great Family story. It sits on the Old Testament shelf in our Sunday School classroom.
You come up with some really wonderful and creative activities for kids! I find myself out of ideas quite frequently, so I’m very thankful that you take the time to share your own ideas—such as this one. I think my younger children will really enjoy learning about Abraham during this activity. Thanks again for sharing!
