The Plague Of Blood
This craft is a great visual of the first plague in Egypt. Your kids will be able to see the water of the Nile River turn to blood for themselves.
“20 So Moses and Aaron did even as the Lord had commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. 21 The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.” Exodus 7:20-21
Instructions
- Print the templates onto regular copy paper. Do not use cardstock. Print the main image on one side, then the river on the other side of the same paper. (Template)
- Lay one or two sheets of newspaper on your table.
- Have your kids color in the land, sand, pyramids, mountains and sky using markers.
- Next lightly color in the river with a blue color pencil.
- Trace the outline of the river with regular glue and allow the glue to dry.
- When the glue has dried fill in the river on the back with a red marker.
- In a small plastic container add about 1 teaspoon of regular cooking oil (vegetable, olive, canola).
- Using a small brush have your kids paint over the blue river with the oil. A little oil goes a long way. As the oil is absorbed by the paper the red marker will start to come through. The river will start to turn into “blood”.
- With a paper napkin wipe of any excess oil from the front and back of the paper.
The Ten Plagues Of Egypt
Moses goes before the Pharaoh multiple times demanding he let the Israelites go. He did this in the name of God, “Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.” Exodus 5:1; 7:16; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3
Pharaoh refuses to let the Israelites go. Moses warns Pharaoh that God will punish Egypt, but Pharaoh continued being stubborn.
As a result, God casts ten plagues upon the Egyptians. The ten plagues were a divine demonstration of God’s power and judgment designed to exalt God and force Pharaoh to “let my people go.”
This craft about the ten plagues of Egypt would be a great add-on to any Sunday School lesson. You can always use the craft to re-tell the Bible story after your kids are done making it.
This craft will require some prep work.
To make this craft easier to do you can use stickers for day 2-5 and 8. For day 9 you can use large googly eyes. And for the last day you can paint on a thin line of red paint across the number ten, then slightly tilt the number and allow the paint to slowly drip down the number.
Instructions
- Print the templates. (Template)
- Cut out each image and trace it onto the colored construction paper of your choice. You do not have to exactly copy the numbers in the picture.
- Cut them out and glue them onto the designated number.
- Cut off any overhang of construction paper from the numbers.
- Glue the numbers onto cardstock.
- Cut out the numbers. If you like you can leave a small white border around each number.
