This craft is free, however it is only to be used for classroom and personal use. It may not be published on any websites or other electronic media, or distributed in newsletters, bulletins, or any other form or sold for profit.

All graphics/images/clipart etc. used on all activities are not my own and are from various internet sources.

To show the 40 days and 40 nights of rain, have the wheel with the rain showing. Turn the wheel again to see the sign that God did that promised that He would never flood the whole Earth again.

Directions:

1. On one paper plate, draw a line across the center of a paper plate. Draw scalloped edges for water just above the line that is the center of the paper plate (discard smaller piece of paper plate). Cut the scalloped edges across this paper plate. Spray paint this plate dark blue before class. Make arks on brown construction paper and outline them with black magic markers and color in windows. Cut arks out of before class for students.

2. On the plate with scalloped edges have the students paint on one side with navy blue paint. Let dry.

3. On another paper plate have students write their name on the back. On the front of this plate, draw a line across the center. Have students color one half of the paper plate a storm scene. Students must only color the lightning bolt and raindrops white and nothing else. (Only have white crayons out during this time).

4. On the other half of the paper plate have students color a rainbow. Color rainbow starting with purple on the outside of the groove in the center of the plate. Then continue to color on the outside of the purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red for a rainbow. (Only have these color crayons out during this time).

5. Students paint the entire paper plate with light blue water color paint.

6. When dry, teacher will use a paper fastener to attach the water to the center of the back plate.

7. Glue the ark to water being extra careful to not put glue near paper fastener or glue ark to back plate.

8. To change the scene from the forty days and nights of rain to the promise of not flooding the world again, turn the back plate around.
