So our tabernacle construction has continued...
We worked on our Holy Place walls on Friday and finished them on Monday, as well as painted them gold. We also worked on the bases for the walls, which are painted silver. We hot-glued the walls that Daddy/ Joshua helped us trim on Tuesday. We also built the incense altar on Tuesday. We had painted it with the other gold things on Monday. Then we glued the incense altar all together with rick-rack for edging on the top and dowels for poles on the sides. We painted poles for the Ark of the Covenant too, but haven't worked on the rest of it yet. We decided our Holy Place walls needed to be longer, so Rebekah made those on Tuesday.
We didn't do too much on Wednesday (today) because Rebekah was sick and Caleb is recovering from the same sickness. I trimmed table legs (Caleb helped) for the shewbread table and finished that. I also made little "loaves of bread" to go on it-- little circles that I cut out of tan felt! One funny thing that happened yesterday was that Mallory took all of our Playmobil Nativity characters that we had out, and placed them on the tabernacle. I took a photo of that too! :-D Silly girl!
Wow! That is quite the project. What a great way for the kids to learn about the tabernacle. So many details went into it's construction!
