This document provides instructions for making a 3D picture depicting Jesus visiting Jerusalem as a boy. The instructions explain that the picture is made by cutting out parts from pages and gluing them together in layers, with foam pieces glued between the layers to raise them up. Tips are given to print the pages on cardstock and position the pieces before gluing to see how they fit together.

• Between each layer, glue
various thicknesses of foam
or cardboard to raise each
level slightly higher than the
previous layer. (Instead of craft
foam, you can use a piece of
Styrofoam used for packaging
to cut into small pieces for
forming the different layers.)
• Tips: Print pages 2, 3, and 4
on cardstock. Use white glue. Cut lines
Before adding glue to the
pieces, it helps to position the Mountain
pieces on the scenery to see fold
how they fit. Valley
