2. Cut out the edge of the story pattern.

3. In class have your children color the arms, legs, and hair of the Lazarus pattern. Note: You don't have to use the arms and feet patterns. To make the craft easier, just cut off the feet and discard the arms.

4. Cut out the pattern along the dark lines.

5. Roll up the story page so that the words are on the inside so that the tube is about one inch wide. Place a dot sticker on the center to keep the roll from unwinding.

6. Have your students cut slits where indicated for the hair on the Lazarus pattern, and color the feet.

7. Roll up the Lazarus pattern and insert it inside the rolled story pattern. Fold up the feet and bend down the hair and crinkle it up.

8. Wrap two-inch pieces of cloth around the Lazarus and tuck in the end.

9. To read the story, pull the Lazarus pattern out of the center and unroll the story page.
