Baby Moses Basket Craft

The story of Moses’ birth in Exodus 2:1-10 is nothing short of miraculous. In an effort to save her baby, Moses’ mother hid him for three months, and finally constructed a waterproof basket. She placed Moses in the basket and set him in the Nile River, leaving Moses’ sister Miriam to stand guard in the reeds.

We might expect the tender baby to encounter animals or a cruel parent. Instead, God arranged for his servant Moses to be raised as Egyptian royalty--adopted by the daughter of the Pharoah, no less. There, he was educated and trained for his role in the Exodus from Egypt, as God led his people from slavery to freedom, and to the Promised Land of Canaan.

Your kids can read all about that in my narrative biography from Christian Focus Publications, Who Was Moses?.  The books is a fun way for your kids to learn about a man who knew God face-to-face, wrote 5 books of the Bible, and was an important prophet in the Old Testament.

This fun craft will allow your kids to construct Miriam, baby Moses in the basket, and the Pharaoh’s daughter.

Who Was Moses?

This engaging book follows the life of one of the most important figures in the bible and recounts key events such as the burning bush, the ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and the receiving of the Ten Commandments. Far from being a boring biography, the narrative is engaging and there are plenty of pictures and maps included. Readers are also pointed to God’s big picture and will discover how the life of Moses relates to us today.

It was into this nation-within-a nation that a baby was born. This wasn't just any baby, and he didn't grow up to be just any boy. No, this baby was born into the tribe of Levi--one of the sons of Jacob, which would become the tribe of God's priests. One day, this special child named Moses would know God face-to-face. Who Was Moses?, Danika Cooley (Christian Focus Publications, 2024), page 9

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.

History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible. Here's why:

• God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It's important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings. 
• Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
• Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.   
• Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God's Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.    
• Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others--and on history. 

Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons. 

The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.
