Trash-Filled Thursdays - Paper Towel Scroll

We have used this countless times in Bible class. you need two paper towel rolls and roll of white paper. We added cardboard circles to the ends of the paper towel rolls and then spray painted them black. Once it had dried, we attached the ends of the paper to the paper towel rolls (a heavy glue or tape works well). Then we rolled the paper up on the rolls to form the scroll.

The scroll is something many children have trouble with because we don't use a scroll today. However, this visual gives them an idea of what it was like and how it was used.
