The Last Two Plagues and Parting of the Red Sea

Well, I finally had time to post our last two plague crafts. This is plague nine. The plague of Darkness. This is supposed to be someone's eyes looking around in the darkness. Plague Ten was interesting and hard for little ones to understand but we just stuck to the scripture. The boys used paper to create a door post and red paint to represent the blood. We talked about God's specific instructions for the Israelites and how they were to obey.
This week we have worked on this one craft. It took a few days to make the people. The printables and instructions for this parting of the red sea craft can be found here http://www.makingfriends.com/biblecrafts/redsea.htm

The boys enjoyed making their Israelites. John did not like that the boys wore "dresses" but I told him that it really wasn't a dress, but more of a robe/cloak kind of thing.


That's all for this week, but I am getting together a huge amount of materials for our FARM unit coming soon. Our Bible time next week will focus on The Israelites roaming in the wilderness and after that the ten commandments!
