Craft: Walls of Jericho Catapult

Snack: Walls of Jericho
You can build the walls of Jericho like you do a graham cracker gingerbread house. You will need graham crackers and frosting to build the walls. You could make the wall more secure by building around a rice cake. You can use gummy bears or teddy grahams as the “people” walking around the walls. Have the kids blow their “trumpets” (using Bugles). If you do this activity, please make an allergy alert sign.

Divide your class into teams and have a competition to see who can build the tallest structure out of marshmallows or jelly beans and toothpicks. We have some marshmallows in the Children’s Area if you decide to do this activity, just let Brad, Tricia, Megan or Jamie know and we’ll be happy to get them for you!
