We made paper dolls of Joseph and gave him three sets of clothes: the fancy coat his father gave him, the rough tunic of a slave in Egypt and the posh clothes he wore when he was Pharaoh’s right-hand man.

You will need:

• White card
• Template of Joseph and his clothes (Click here to download Joseph template)
• Scissors
• Coloured pens, pencils or crayons

In advance, cut out the paper dolls and clothes.  You can draw faces on them or leave that to the children, depending on their abilities.

The children should colour the clothes (both sides!) and then they can dress Joseph in different garments as you tell his story.
