It's time for another Sunday School craft! AH (awesome husband) and I are teaching the Kindergarten/1st grade Sunday School class at our church. Last week's lesson was on Baby Moses in the basket. I wanted to come up with a craft that the kids could take home and use to retell the story of Moses being found in the basket. So, we made some baskets...well really boxes, but we're calling them baskets. We used empty juice boxes, material scraps, paper towels and plastic tape. Oh, and hot glue! We had each kid drink a beverage. We then wrapped brown material over the top half and the sides of the box. A bit of hot glue kept the material in place. We adhered the plastic tape over the seam of the material all the way around the box. Using sharp scissors, a small rectangular opening was cut in the top of the box. We had each child dry out their box with a paper towel. Each child used a small piece of felt to wrap up a broken popsicle stick to make Baby Moses. (A dab of glue helped the felt stick.) Each child drew on two eyes and a mouth. (Smiling mouth, screaming mouth, scared mouth---we had all kinds!) Each child made a bed for Moses with a cotton ball. Then they put Moses in the basket. Some children chose to decorate their baskets using Sharpies. We filled a great big plastic tub full of water for 'the river'. Blocks of styrofoam were loaded up with greenery to hide the baskets. Each child tried out their basket making sure they floated in the water. We practiced telling the Bible story of Pharaoh's daughter finding Moses and how brave and helpful Moses' sister was in offering and getting help. We talked about how God protects us and how God protected Moses. We talked about how our brothers and sisters watch out for us, and how we must watch out for them. We thanked God for our family. We thanked God for his protection and watching over us. We heard later that one child insisted that Baby Moses join her in the bath at home. Too cute! Happy Sunday to you!
