Option 1: Passover Craft
popsicle sticks (five per child), sheets of paper (one per child), glue, red watercolor paint, cups of water, paintbrushes
Gather supplies. Place paper horizontally and write “Jesus is our Passover Lamb” at the top. Make a sample craft.
Give each child five popsicle sticks, a sheet of paper, and a paintbrush. Place paints, glue, and cups of water at each table. Have the children glue three of the sticks on the paper to form a door frame, and two of the sticks to form a cross (doorposts on left, cross on right). Have them paint the sticks with the red paint. Remind children that Jesus is our Passover lamb.
Option 2: Red Sea Craft
paper plates (one per child), brown paper, glue, crayons, marker
Gather supplies. Cut three-inch strips of brown paper the length of the paper plate. Write “God saves his people” on each strip with the marker. Make a sample craft.
Give each child a paper plate and have them color it blue like the sea. Give them the brown strip to glue to the center of their plate. Have them fold the sides of the plate up like two walls of water. Remind them that God sent a wind to blow the water so that the Israelites could escape on dry land.
