Matthew chapter 2 recounts the story of the Wise Men following the star to find Jesus, King of the Jews.
Memory Verse: “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” ” Matthew 2:1-2.
Materials needed to create The Wise Men quiet book page:
- A4 felt background sheet - I used white
- Betty Lukens Felt book 011 Life of Jesus as a Boy Felt Activity Kit (not an affiliate link)
- sewing thread to best match the page
- scissors!
Cut out all the pieces for this page and the page itself from the Betty Lukens set. The Betty Lukens FAQ section has posted a cutting tips PDF.
Sew the Betty Lukens page onto the background felt along three sides, leaving the top edge open to form a pocket. Pop the pieces inside the pocket (or better yet - play with them)!
Finished!
Difficulty Level = Easy, plus No Sew version.
A very easy quiet book page!
Just use hot glue wherever sewing is recommended for a no sew version.
