The next story in the book of Mark talks about how Jesus cleanses the Temple. For that story, I have for you a 3-D printable Temple!

“And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons; and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. And he taught, and said to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer for all nations?’ But you have made it a den of robbers.” And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and sought a way to destroy him; for they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.”
Mark 11:15-18
If you were with me for my prayer dice, then this will be an easy assembly for you! Even if you didn’t do the prayer dice, just check the directions below- it’s easy!
Print the printable on cardstock. Color it in and cut it out.
Crease all the tabs inward about 90 degrees.
Glue or tape all the tabs inside the cube. Glue dots work best. (I think glue dots are magical)
If needed you can reinforce with tape on the outside of the creases. Glue dots worked well to keep the cube together without any tape on the outside.
To add it to your mobile, simply hole punch it near the top, tie a string to it and tie the other end to your mobile ring!
It’s getting even more lopsided at this point, but don’t worry, we’ll keep adding to it all week and it’ll balance out by the end!
Also, you can see that I made each subsequent piece have a longer string. You certainly don’t have to do it exactly as I did, you can have each piece on an equal length string if you want. I just like how you can see them all from the side when you make each string longer as you go.
The entire Holy Week Mobile in one downloadable document including both color and B&W copies is available here in my shop for $3! If you want to save yourself some time clicking through the blog, or coloring in pieces, be sure to check it out!
Thanks for joining me!
