Using Brown Wrapping Paper

We built our jail in a corner of the room we use for openings. We used brown wrapping paper from the dollar store to cover the walls like wrapping paper. Then we used one of those large sponges for washing cars dipped in black paint to make bricks on the brown paper. That corner of the room happened to have a rectangular opening used for puppets that we put cardboard wrapping paper tubes in (painted black) for bars. In a window on the facing wall, we put carpet tubes painted black as really large bars. We had some plywood castle "walls" from a VBS that we used mixed with the brown paper brick walls. We hung black chain from a hook on the wall, and put small pieces of carpet tubes covered with black duct tape on the ends of the chain to look like shackles. The kids really love this jail. And the best part is we can take the bars down and turn it into a Bibletimes home interior for our next rotation in the Fall.
Blessings,
Robbin Trumble
