DLTK's Bible Crafts for Kids
Parting the Red Sea Craft

Thanks to Cindy for sending her craft idea to us!

This is a kids size Red Sea! They can walk through it just like Moses did.

A refrigerator box
- ask at your local appliance store, to get it home it's okay to cut it in half.
Utility knife
Blue paint
Paint brush
Spray glue
Sand
Ribbon or twine
chairs (small chairs to hold the "sea" in place)
OPTIONAL: rectangle cloths for each child to be used as a headpiece and brown craft paper to be used for a staff.

Cut off one side of the box, then using a utility knife cut "waves" along the top of the two sides. (I used this with a 2 year old and found that I should not have cut the waves in because they are just the right size that the cut "waves" brushed their faces.)
Paint the sides blue and on the bottom spray glue and sprinkle sand all over the bottom so that it was "dry ground".
To keep it together put ribbon, twine, anything so that you can tie the Red Sea between two lines of chairs. (The chairs kept the box in the right position.)
Use rectangles of cloth for the children and tie it on their heads and use brown craft paper and roll it so that each child has a headpiece and walking stick to go through the Red Sea.
