NOAH'S ARK

Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer white construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, brown paint or markers and a dinner sized paper plate..

If you don't have a paper plate, just trace a dinner plate onto a piece of cardboard (from a cereal box or the like).

	Fold the paper plate in half. Paint or color the bottom brown.
	Print out the template of choice.
	Colour pieces, as necessary.
	Cut out the ark top. This step may require adult assistance and can be done prior to making the craft with the children.
	Fold the ark top in half and glue. Cut it along the dotted line.
	Once the paper plate is dry, cut halfway along the fold line
	Slide the ark top cut into the paper plate cut as far as it will go (the ark top will end up positioned in the center).
	You can tape or staple it a bit, as necessary, to make sure it won't fall apart (depending on whether it will be played with).
	The ark will stand up on its own and will "rock" (the paper plate is curved).
	OPTIONAL: clip out animal images from a magazine and glue to the ark.
