The Parting of the Red Sea Craft

Israelites: Popsicle sticks with happy faces are the Israelites. Cut sticky ribbon for clothes and the kids put their clothes on, any happy face for the face. It’s a shish-ka- bob stick that holds them together with a penne noodle between each one so they don’t’ all get pushed together. Oh yes, my husband did put the holes in the sticks so the stick could go through. If you have sticker feet that’s great to reinforce that they had to walk.

Egyptians: The Egyptians are just packing peanuts with wiggle eyes, that have been clued on to broken off tooth picks, and stuck into the peanuts.

Chariot:. It’s just a piece of construction paper folded and hot clued a hole punched on both sides another shish-ka-bob stick (cut so it has no sharp ends) and marshmallows so when God makes the wheels fall off they can come off easy and then go back on to retell the story. Make sure the kids get an extra marshmallow so they can eat 1 or 2 (check for food allergies, but they don’t have milk or wheat so that’s good) Each child got 2 chariots and 2 horses.

Horse: The horse is just small Popsicle sticks 3 in all 2 cut in half (I hot glued those ahead of time and another packing peanut for the head, a little yarn makes it look like it’s connected to the chariot.

Clouds: I had some cloud paper and just gave each child one piece for the clouds.

Flame: Stuff red construction paper in the toilet paper roll and then wrapped it with yellow paper to look like a torch.

Sea: I just clued some fish stickers on white paper and ran it off on blue paper so it looked like under water and then made a path on an under water scene to look like the dry land, where the Israelites walk, and when the Egyptians go through the blue water folds over them
