ELISHA & the Miracle OIl
𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐃𝐀 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
In order to create the widow’s miracle oil jar, you will need to print three copies of the printable. After printing, begin by trimming the two edges on all three of your pages. You want to remove that outer strip of white paper so you can attach your pages directly together.
For step 2, you will fold your papers on the middle-dotted line. Step 3, tape the outer edges of the jars together. Tape them carefully so your pictures line up.
Finally, for step 4, cut around the outside border of the vessel, being careful not to cut on the dotted line. You will cut around the jar until you reach the upper portion and the handle. Don’t cut through this section, or your papers won’t stay connected.
Enjoy telling this story while cutting out the jars in front of the kids. Watch as they’re amazed at how the one jar turns into multiple jars.
