# Saint David of Wales

#### Introduction

Watch the two-minute video "[The Story of Saint David](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppMf0YkQMqg)" or another slightly longer one, "[The Story of St David](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guau-sTJIwI)".

#### Activity 1

Once when he was preaching, people couldn't see David and so a small hill rose up underneath him so people could see him. Build a small hill either out of lego and blocks (for a toy to stand on) or out of cushions (for the child to stand on).

#### Activity 2

David loved to read and write, and had a tutor called Paulinus. Paulinus went blind and David healed him as a small child. Make and write (or illustrate) a short book about David or another saint.
