Activity: Use books of the Bible display to cover the major parts of the Bible.
To make books of the Bible Display- get 73 match books (the small square ones that are little drawers). Remove the matches. Get 10 sheets of sticker paper or full sheet labels. E-mail me for my word document with everything measured out. Cut out each sticker (including the gold strip) and wrap around each match book (with lettering on one spine and gold strip on the second one). Find something to make tiny bookshelves. I found a golf ball display at a yard sale. Made one from inserting foam shelves into 2 shoe boxes but it was awful- use something harder for shelves and find ways to support them. Make sure there is a way to separate the new and old testaments. If you are really ambitious, you can even scan in Bible coloring pages and reduce them to fit in the match books- I try again and again but give up very shortly...
OR: google books of the bible poster and buy one for less than $5- may not be Catholic version.
