finally, ella got to do some origami. :) when she pulled the note out of the advent calendar envelope, she was practically tripping over herself to get to some paper.
you may copy and print the note the advent goblins left us if you wish. their instructions on how to make today’s ornament were in traditional origami picture form and came from the enchanted learning's page, origami whale craft.
God told Jonah to go to Ninevah and teach the people right from wrong but Jonah didn't want to go. Jonah knew that if the people loved God that God would not be mad at them anymore. Jonah wanted God to stay mad at the people of Ninevah because they had done bad things. So Jonah ran away, but no matter where he went, God was always with him.
Read Jonah 1-3
Hang your ornament on your Jesse Tree as a reminder that even if we run away from God, God will never run away from us.
construction paper is not the best type for origami, so we ended up using a little tape to hold the tail in place. here are a few pictures of how we made this ornament:
