Pillar of cloud, pillar of fire

So after Moses was found in the water, He grew up in Pharaoh's palace and then eventually led the Israelites out of Egypt, following a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night! We glued cotton balls and crumpled up squares of tissue paper to tubes made from poster board to represent this miracle. It was a hit, the kids enjoyed it and it was SO easy for me to prepare. If you can get some mailing tubes that would make the prep work even easier!
