The Exodus from Egypt in the Old Testament teaches us who God is. Your family will love these Exodus activities & Bible crafts for children.
One of the wonderful aspects of homeschooling is that we can use multiple teaching techniques to help our children learn. In fact, God created us to learn from story, as well as from object lessons and hands-on activities. During the story of the Exodus in the Bible, when God rescued his chosen people the Israelites from slavery, God’s people lived out a true story that taught them who God is and how to worship him. Then, God had his prophet, Moses, write the history of the Exodus in Scripture so that we, too, can learn more about who God is through the story of the Exodus. Using activities, story, and crafts, your kids can learn more about nine attributes of God, the Ten Commandments, and about how God answered the cries of his people.
