Printing tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Numbers 17

After conflict over leadership, staffs representing the tribes are placed before God. Aaron’s staff produces buds, blossoms and almonds, marking the choice of his priestly household.

Main takeaway: Aaron’s budding staff addresses a dispute about responsibility and leadership.

Before you wear the crown

Read the crown’s words and look at its story or symbol details before using it as a reminder.

Notice the unusual combination of a dry staff with buds, flowers and almonds. Ask what question the sign answers within the story.

Younger learners can choose one pictured detail to talk about. Older learners can explain the reminder without assuming that every crown design is about a king or queen.

Questions to explore

  • Why were the staffs gathered?
  • What appeared on Aaron’s staff?
  • How can clear responsibilities help a community work together?
