Pottage of Lentiles

We read through Genesis 25:21-34 over the last week and a half.  Faith really loved coloring this story because there were two babies involved.  She rarely called them both Esau and Jacob, usually it was Esau and Faith or Jacob and Rebekah but she still learned the names :)

The first craft we did was making Jacob's bowl.  We made it from a clay recipe using salt, water, and cornstarch.  The craft and recipes came from http://www.dltk-bible.com/crafts/mbowl.htm   I let it dry for several days before we filled it with the pottage of lentiles later in the week.

 

I found all the ingredients for our pottage of lentiles on clip art and printed them out for both girls to tape (with double sided tape) onto a paper plate.  We talked about each ingredient and then I let them color on te back. 

Finally, we made a pottage of lentiles using this recipe: http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m0712M04.htm

It actually turned out pretty good, although the bowl that Faith made earilier in the week didn't really work well for an actual bowl for her so she used it to feed her Dolly.
