How Can You Make a Noah's Ark Flower Basket?

The story of Noah's Arc is a wondrous, awe-inspiring, biblical story that can be incorporated into your everyday life. The idea of the handmade arc containing two of every type of animal is easily and tastefully incorporated into a great craft project for children and adults alike. Create a basket representing the handmade arc that Noah built and fill it with different varieties of flowers in pairs of two to represent the animal aboard. For an easy start, begin with a bowl or existing basket and use faux flowers.
