Place pretzel sticks at the bottom of a paper bowl. Cut a banana in half for the body used two chocolate morsels for eyes. Cut a Fruit by the Foot piece to cover the other end of the banana as the blanket. Use green sour strings for the reeds and lay them around the bowl. Tell the story of Baby Moses while making the snack.
Have the child choose five things in the room to bring to you. Place the items in a small area on the floor and place a small blanket over the items.
Ask the child:
- Can the objects be seen?
- Are the objects still there even though they can't be seen?
- How do you know that the objects are still there?
Remove the blanket. Tell the child: "This week's memory verse says, 'When I am afraid, I will trust in you.'" Even though we can't see Jesus, we know He is always with us."
With the objects gathered, turn this activity into a memory game. Without the child watching, remove one object. Have the child figure out which object is missing. For greater difficulty, remove more than one object or add similar items.
Set up a sensory bin with water, small floating baskets (like cups or bowls), and a baby doll. Let the child place the doll in the baskets to reenact Baby Moses floating on the river.
Hide a small toy basket or a snack boat in the classroom or play area, and have the children take turns finding "Baby Moses." This helps reinforce the idea of Moses being hidden and found safely.
