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.
