Daniel's Lion

Designed by Traci Armbrust

Children love acting out their favorite Bible stories. Read the story about Daniel and the lion's den, then have the children make a 3-D lion, and the figures of King Darius, Daniel and an Angel so they can retell the story to others later. Children will remember that God kept Daniel safe just as he keeps us safe. (Daniel 6)
