Who was Moses?

Moses was an important Old Testament Prophet who was used by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. The story of Moses is told in the book of Exodus in the Bile. Some major events in his life included:

Moses was chosen by God. Pharoah was afraid there were too many Israelite slaves so he ordered all the baby boys to be killed at birth. Moses’ mother hid him until she could no longer keep him as secret and then she placed him in a basket on the Nile River to keep her son from being killed.
Moses was raised in the Pharoah’s Palace. Pharoah’s daughter found the baby in a basket floating down the river and she raised him as her own son in the luxurious palace. Moses’ birth mother was chosed randomly to nurse him.
Moses sinned by commiting murder. Although Moses grew up in the palace he knew he was a Hebrew like the slaves. One day Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew and he killed him.
Moses ran away to the desert. After committing murder, Moses ran away so the Pharoah wouldn’t kill him. He lived in the desert of Midian for 40 years. While he was there he got married and had children.
Moses in the burning bush. God spoke to Moses in a bush that did not burn up. He told Moses to go back to Egypt to deliver His people out of Pharoah’s hands. Moses was afraid and God sent Moses’ brother Aaron with him to Egpyt.
Plagues of Egypt. Moses confronted the Pharoah and told him to let God’s people leave. When Pharoah refused, God used Moses to deliver the 10 Plauges of Egpyt (turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and the killing of firstborn children).
Moses led God’s people through the Red Sea. After the last plague Pharoah told Moses to take the Hebrews and go, but after they left he changed his mind and began chasing them. God allowed Moses to part the Red Sea for his people to get across and then the sea closed and Pharoah’s army was swallowed up in the water.
Moses spoke with God in Mt. Sinae. Moses spent 40 days on the top of the mountain talking to God. When he came down he brought the Ten Commandments down to teach to the Israelites, but they had made idols instead of God who brought them out of slavery.
Moses led God’s people for 40 years in Wilderness. God’s people wandered in the desert on their way to the promised land for 40 years.
Moses sent 12 men to go into Canann, the Promised Land. God’s people once again doubted they could overcome the giants living in this land flowing with milk, honey, and large grape clusters so God did not allow them to enter into the promised land.
Moses died at 120 years of age in Moab.

Moses Crafts

Baby Moses

Moses’ mother wove a basket out of papyrus so she could protect her son. God protected Moses by guiding Pharaoh’s daughter to find Moses in the basket. Pharaoh’s daughter adopted Moses as her son, which made Moses the grandson of the man who wanted to kill all of the Israelite boys! God rescued Moses to deliver His people from captivity. Each time you use your place mat, remember God’s plan to rescue us from sin.

This is a classic placemat weaving craft, but in case you haven’t seen it done here is how to make this simple paper craft for kids:

You will need at least 2 pieces of construction paper per child. You can use any colors you like: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, black, or white paper
Hold a piece of construction paper horizontally and put the edges together so they are touching (if you can, don’t crease it down the middle as it will leave a crease mark on the craft). Then, cut horizontal slits to 1-2″ from each edge. See picture above.
Next, on a seperate piece of construction paepr, cut strips of paper horizontally about 1-2″ wide.
Finally, weave the paper strips through the initial paper flaps going over, under, over, under, etc. Slide all the way to the left and repeat until you’ve finished your placemat.

Burning Bush Craft for Kids

This craft has an amazing WOW factor with kids!

You will need clear cups, glue (stick is easier to work with and dries quicker), and strips of red/orange/yellow tissue paper.

Spread glue all over the inside surface of the cup. Next Press tissue paper strips around the inside of the cup to make flames.

Insert tea light candle.

We wrote on the outside of the cup in sharpie “Here I am” which is what Moses said to God at the burning bush. We reminded the kids that this should be our response.

Crossing the Red Sea

Help kids visualize the iconic crossing of the Red Sea as Moses led God’s people the Israelites out of Egypt with this fun, easy moses craft. This is one of our Sunday School kids in toddler, preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and 2nd grade kids.
