Jonah and the Big Fish

Jonah was our Bible story this week and the girls had a great time with this one; who wouldn't!  We sang the second verse of this great song.  Let me just say that I love singing songs with these girls, I feel like through the song, even young Rebekah retains so much more of the story. 
Our first craft was from a children's craft book I have.  We colored Jonah and glued him to a craft stick and then had a giant fish with some slits in his middle where Jonah could slide in and out.

We used those same Jonah pictures for our second craft in making a paper bag giant fish.  The girls colored Jonah again and then put him in the paper bag, filled the bag with shredded newspaper, and then we tied up the tail.  The girls painted the fish and when it was dry we put eyes and some fins on him. 

When we were done we talked about where Jonah was; they both remembered he was in the fishes belly!

We looked at some pictures of fish from our trip to the Great Barrier Reef and Faith talked about the fish eating Daddy and then vomitting him out 3 days later.  Thankfully that didn't happen on our vacation but it was a sign to me that she really was paying attention to the story!
