The Tale of the Whale





  




Gather a few supplies:
(Wiggly eyes are optional, 
but they just make everyone
more fun)

Any type of paper plate 
will work fine
and any type of heavy paper 
or cardstock







Flatten your toilet paper and 
use it to mark the width 
of your "stick". 
While you cut this part,
let your child color the whale.



Cut out a triangle for the fish's mouth
then tape the toilet paper roll to the back of the plate
as a guide.


Next, let your child draw Jonah.
Wiggly eyes definitely make him 
seem very afraid of being swallowed!





Now your child can retell the story of Jonah 
by moving him back and forth, 
through the tube on the back of the plate,

The whale can swallow Jonah,
then spit him out on the land.
