A Fiery Furnace Craft

This is a craft from a teacher at Campbell Street.  We have done one like this as well but I did not have a picture of it.  A paper lunch bag was used upside down.  A hole was cut out with flames added to the hole and above the bag.  Pictures of the 3 friends were made and placed on straws so the kids can put them in and out of the furnace.  Tissue paper can also be used to make the flames.

Three-in-One Visual

I am a big fan of using things more than once, especially big things. My friend, Kim, and I made this two summers ago and it is still being used almost every quarter in our teaching. We took an office chair box and laid it out completely flat. On one side we spray painted it a dark gray with light gray circles to make it appear to be stone. After it dried, we stood it up to see where we would want the door to be. We took a pencil to draw where the door was to go and, with a box cutter, cut it out. We held onto it though to be used as the door. It will fold up flat for easy storing when not being used. We used it like this picture for Daniel in the Lions' Den (we brought in a lot of stuffed lions to put inside), Jesus Raises Lazarus from the Dead and Jesus' Death and Resurrection (place a mat inside for the body to lay on and then have the mat be empty for Jesus' resurrection). The kids love being able to act out each of these stories with this visual.
For the Fiery Furnace lesson, we added red, yellow and orange tissue paper to the bottom of the door and three kids could be Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (with a 4th child being the protector in the furnace). This was a favorite by the children!!!
