We are staying in a travel trailer in Mississippi for 8 weeks while daddy does an evangelistic meeting. We could only bring what fit in the car, so we had to leave the Bible story felts behind. I wondered how to make interesting "props" for Bible stories, so I had the boys gather sticks for "stick people". We chose sticks of different sizes for the characters in the story. Then we painted them. I let the boys do the painting however they chose. I tried to draw a face at the top of the stick. Hummmm ... Not sure how the faces turned out, but at least we had our people!
We made a stick person for Eli, Elkana, Hannah, and Samuel. We then used these stick people in the story.
I told the boys to make a temple. Caleb built one with a pine cone and gathered some kind of flowers because he said they would have something nice at the temple. He put Eli by the temple. We chose another place to be Elkana and Hannah's home.
Hannah then brought Samuel to live at the temple. We then cut coats out of construction paper with a slit in the top so we could slide them over the little stick we painted for Samuel. These were different sizes since Hannah brought one to Samuel each year.
