Crafts Mosaic
Our Bible Story Crafts for Kids is an ideal way to introduce the kids to all the truths in the Bible. These Bible story crafts for kids are also great fun for the kids and they love learning all the well know Bible stories in the Bible this way. This craft “Moses Parts the Sea” is a little unusual and it may take a little more prep on the teacher’s side but it is well worth the trouble.
Moses parts the see egg shell mosaic craft.
What you need for this Bible story craft for kids:
- Egg shells
- Food coloring
- Water
- A piece of corrugated cardboard to make your mosaic on
- Thick white glue
- As many bowls as colors you intend using
- Pencils (one for each kid)
- Vinegar
- A newspaper
- Miniature figurines to serve as Moses and the Israelites (You can also draw them on cardboard, color them and make them stand with little pieces of clay. This can even be a craft the previous week, say when you are doing the ten plagues.)
Prep for the teacher:
- A little ahead of the time you will have to ask all your friends to save all the egg shells from eggs they use. Rinse them clean and keep them in the fridge until you need them.
- Mix water and food coloring in your bowls (remember you will need a lot of blue for the sea)
- Add a teaspoon or two of vinegar to each bowl of color, depending on the amount of coloring.
- Put the egg shells in the water and leave them overnight.
- Take the shells out of the water and let them dry on a newspaper. You are now ready to do the craft with the kids.
How to do the craft:
- Divide the kids in the class; let some draw the path in the middle of your piece of cardboard that will become the dry land the Israelites are going to walk on. Another group can draw some fish etc. that will be in the sea on the one side and the others on the other side.
- Keep quite a bit of large, blue shells to make the “wall” of water on both sides.
- With the others you fill in your mosaic as follows: apply some glue onto the pictures on the cardboard and stick the egg shells on, using the desired colors. Use the blue for the sea and the other colors to make the fish etc. in the sea. Break the egg shells into smaller pieces if necessary to fill in smaller pictures.
- In the middle place a second layer of the large, blue egg shells to form the “wall” of water.
- Place the figurines on the “dry path” and your craft is completed.
- Plan ahead of time to have a small table or other area where it can be put on display, the kids will want to look at it for quite a while.
This Bible Story Craft for Kids is great fun and a little unusual. It is one of our Bible Story Crafts for Kids that even the smallest pre-school kids can do very easily, while the older kids can attempt a more elaborate mosaic according to their age and abilities.
