With children seated, hold up a large photo of the Ark Encounter and then, the finished craft.
Teacher: “Did you like the story of Noah building the ark? Noah’s ark was very big to hold Noah’s family and all the animals. Look how big it is compared to the people. Noah built the ark just as God told him. Would you like to make a small one? First, let’s review our Bible verse: 'Noah did everything (arms wide) God (point upward) told him (point to mouth) to do (hammering motion).'”
