This month we looked at the story of Joseph at Messy church.  It’s quite a long story so we pulled out some of the main themes and events and had a lot of fun!  Here are some of the crafts we got up to…

A coloured coat made of a length of brown paper (with a head hole cut out!).  We decorated the coat with pens, coloured paper, bubble wrap, felt pieces and lolly sticks and then used it as a costume when we told the story.

Coloured coat fuzzy felt: Felt coat shapes and scraps to decorate.

Edible coloured coats: Wraps cut into coat shapes and decorated with icing and sweets.

Egyptian collars made from paper plates and sticky shapes

Joseph’s jail made from Lego bricks

Plaited straws (our attempt at wheat sheaves!)

Paper plate cow faces.

Have fun!
