Getting ready
Age & adult help
The circles, viewing window and rotating mechanism require cutting and alignment.
An adult should prepare any centre hole and fit the fastener if the template uses one. Help cut the viewing window.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons, scissors. A split pin (paper fastener) and adult-made centre hole are suggested; confirm the template’s mechanism.
Time & preparation
One wheel, including colouring and assembly. Teaching time is additional.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Genesis 12:1–9; 15:1–6; 21:1–7
God calls Abram to leave home and promises to bless him and his family. The promise unfolds over many years, including the birth of Isaac after a long wait.
Main takeaway: God’s promise gives Abraham a reason to trust through a long journey.
As you turn the wheel
Turn slowly and use each revealed section as a pause in the retelling.
Separate leaving home, the promise under the stars and Isaac’s birth. Talk about waiting without suggesting every wish is a promise from God.
Younger learners can predict the next pictured event. Older learners can explain a character’s decision at the point where it appears.
Questions to explore
- What did Abram leave behind?
- What did the stars help him picture?
- How is a promise different from something we simply hope for?
