The Primary 3 Lesson 10 handout packet includes
4 bandages with the steps of repentance written on them- There are several sizes so for easy reading as well as putting on the dolls.
Boy and Girl paper doll- Laminate the dolls (you can use clear packing tape if you don't have a laminator) then draw injuries on the doll with a dry erase marker to represent mistakes/sins. Cover the injuries with the bandages as you go through the steps. After all the steps are done, remove the bandages while wiping off the marker to reveal the doll as good as new.
