Book Description

Palestine Models; Make Your Own with Matchboxes is an unusual and evocative piece of mid-twentieth century children's educational ephemera, produced for the Church Assembly Children's Council as a hands-on activity booklet combining craft-making with biblical and geographical instruction. Designed for young users to construct model scenes associated with Palestine using ordinary matchboxes and simple materials, it reflects a period approach to religious education that encouraged practical engagement and imaginative learning.
