Contributed by Leanne Guenther

Watching the colors run together is quite lots of fun!

printer
paper
scissors
glue
something to color with (B&W version)
coffee filter
regular children's markers
water spritzer (a mister or eyedropper or you could flick water on with a little paint brush)

Print out the template of choice.
Color the pieces (as appropriate) and cut them out.
flatten out coffee filter on a plate
Color roughly with various colors of markers - this is wonderful as even the youngest children can color this way.
Wet coffee filter (using a squirty bottle or by flicking drops of water onto the filter with your hands.
Hang to dry for about half an hour

OR
blow dry with a hand held blowdryer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
Once dry, cut the coat shape from the coffee filter (we always save the scraps as they substitute well for any tissue paper projects we might make at a later date).
Glue the coat shape to the "paper doll" of Joseph.
