You and your child can re-enact the story of
Gideon and his army with these
easy-to-make puppets!
Collect just these few items:
craft sticks, markers, pipe cleaners and
wiggly eyes.
Sticky-back eyes are less messy, but you can glue eyes on if you need to.
Use the markers to make the rest of the facial features and hair.
You can add clothes, too, if you like.
I have the long pipe cleaners, so I cut them in half.
Wrap a pipe cleaner around each "soldier" to make
his arms.
Now you can let some of the army men who look afraid go home.
And you can have some of them "cup" their hands
scoop up a drink of water. Others can lean down to the water to drink.
As you retell the story, remind your child that God does what He says He will do!
He fought the battle for Gideon!
