Give your children the sound of Noah’s rain and God’s rainbow promise—in a rainstick they color, build, and shake.
Some Bible stories stick with children when they can hear them. This free Noah’s Ark rainstick gives your kids a hands-on way to make the sound of the rain that fell in Noah’s story—and to remember the rainbow God set in the sky when it was over.
Kids color and cut the Noah’s Ark wrap, roll it around a cardboard tube, pour in a little rice to make the rain sound, then cap the ends and shake. Tip it slowly and it patters like falling rain. A full-color version makes it simple to start.
It turns the story of Noah into something your children can hear and hold—a rainstorm in their hands that ends, every time, with God’s promise.
