Moses and the Pharaoh of the Exodus Craft

Moses and the Pharaoh of the Exodus

The story of Moses’ meetings with the Pharaoh of the Exodus are found in the book of Exodus, chapters 5-11. God had Moses display miraculous signs before the Pharaoh in order to demonstrate God's power, might, and sovereignty. Then, the Lord enacted 10 plagues on Pharaoh and his people to show his glory and majesty. Still, Pharaoh refused to let God's people go--until the very last terrible plague.

Your kids can read all about the story of Moses and the Pharaoh of the Exodus in my narrative biography from Christian Focus Publications, Who Was Moses?.  The book 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 Moses, Aaron, the Pharaoh, the Pyramids of Giza, and two camels.

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.

Now, in the land of Egypt, there were grand palaces with giant statues of pharaohs who ruled before. Towering pyramids held elaborate mazes leading to kingly burial chambers. Egypt was a place of learning where people wrote in pictures, called hieroglyphs, that stood for letters, sounds, or sometimes words. Dentists and doctors put fillings in teeth, set broken bones, diagnosed cancer, and even performed basic brain surgery.

The land was also a place of false worship, where the people followed fake gods they thought looked like bulls, cows, frogs, and even the sun. In fact, each pharaoh believed he was the god of the sun, born into human flesh. Many of the people of Israel also followed the idols of Egypt. This is something the true God, Yahweh, hates--the worship of creatures, statues, and people.

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.
