The Plague On Livestock

Posted on Updated on

Today’s craft is based on the fifth plague on Egypt, the plague on livestock.

“So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.” Exodus 9:6

The Plague On Livestock

Instructions

  1. Print the templates onto cardstock. (Template)
  2. Color and cut out the masks. Let your kids choose which mask they would like to make.
  3. To finish the mask you can either punch out a hole on both sides of the mask and attach a piece of yarn or you can glue a large popsicle stick to the mask as a handle.

The Plague Of Flies

Posted on Updated on

Todays crafts are based on the fourth plague on Egypt, the plague of flies.

“Then the Lord did so. And there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and the land was laid waste because of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.” Exodus 8:24

Fly String Toy

Instructions

  1. Print the template onto cardstock. (Template)
  2. Assemble the clothespin piece. (Disassemble the clothespin. Glue the two wooden pieces together. Glue the metal piece to the top. Finally glue a small item between the legs of the clothes pin, something to give it some weight. I used a metal screw.)
  3. Color and cut out both flies.
  4. Color the clothespin black.
  5. Glue a the flies to the clothespin. One on each side.
  6. Cut a piece of yarn or string to your desired length. Stick the string in the metal bracket on the top of the clothespin.

Hold one side of the string higher than the other and the fly will slide down the string. As it slides down the string it will sway side to side giving the illusion that it is flying.

  6. Assemble the fly by first gluing on the eyes. Next both wings and finally the top body piece.
