Use play dough to create pyramids like the one’s God’s people would have seen before they left Egypt. Talk about how they left the land of the pyramids to travel a long way to a new land that God promised to them.

At Home Ideas:

Sand Pictures
You will need: lightweight cardboard or card stock, glue, colored sand, shallow bowls, spoons, newspaper, markers

Write on the paper in large print, “Jesus is Alive!” Pour colored sand into shallow bowls and cover the table with newspaper. Give your child the piece of paper you wrote on previously and with the glue show them how to trace over the letters. Let your child use a spoon to sprinkle colored sand over the letters and let stand for a few minutes. Shake the excess off the paper back into the bowls if possible.

Big Idea: God showed His great power to Pharaoh and the Egyptians through Moses.

Story Scripture: Exodus 5-10

Bible Verse: “Pharaoh would not let God’s people go.” Exodus 10:27

At Home Ideas:

Making Bricks
You will need these ingredients to make Sand Clay:
1 1/4c. flour
1 c. cornstarch
1 c. salt
1 c. water
½ c. fine sand
(straw)
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Slowly add the water, stirring as you pour. Mix the clay until it can be kneaded without being too sticky. Let your child mix straw into the sand clay and form it into brick shapes on pieces of waxed paper. Let them dry overnight.

Talk with your child about what God’s people had to do as slaves in Egypt, how God showed His power to Pharaoh, and how God’s power can help them.

Frogs and Grasshoppers
For the brave parent! Pick up some grasshoppers or crickets at your local pet store. Let your child gently touch them. Talk about what it would have been like to have grasshoppers everywhere, like in your bed, or in your food, or in your living room.
