An unlikely combination. However, I am finding that these Little People and all their accessories come in very handy when acting out stores. Since they are laying all over the floor it is even easier!
Today we were studying the Tabernacle (in our Mystery of History book) and I decided "hey, let's make a Tabernacle!". So, the boys got the sheet and the chairs and made a tablernacle. Uh-oh, what are we going to do for all the pieces that go inside of the Tabernacle??? Little People to the rescue!
Here are some of our quick and simple "hands on learning" of the Tabernacle. We talked about each piece and how it is a foreshadowing of Jesus. I'm posting a few pictures not because they are anything very impressive but just to share how you really can grab a few ordinary things and have an extraordinary lesson!
Tabernacle
Israelistes
The Altar of Sacrifice
The Lavar
The Altar of Incense
The Table of Shewbread
The Golden Lampstand
The Ark of the Covenant which holds the Ten Commandments (2 rocks), Aaron's rod (a twig) and mana (pasta).
Very cool!! Thanks for the visuals!

Oh, that's marvelous! The lampstand sent me over the edge.
