J, K, and the 10 Plagues

I have been rather neglectful of my Bible craft blog posts since Frank came home but now that I have started teaching homeschool pre-school I figured I should probably start again.  The last 2 weeks have been working on the letters J and K and doing the 10 Plagues. 
Gluing Jellybeans onto a J.  We later did a counting activity but eating the jellybeans was still the best part!

A counting activity we did for K

The 4th Plague, don't those flies look menacing!

The 6th Plague: boils, please note the sad face on the Egyptian.

The 7th Plague: hail, although Rebekah hated that we "took away" the styrofoam ball in order to wrap it in aluminum foil, all the kiddos had a great time making it "hail" in the back yard.

The 9th Plague: darkness.  Hard to do so we just did a light vs. dark craft.

The 8th Plague: Locusts.  By far the kids' favorite.  We mixed butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and chow mein noodles together and then made little piles of locusts legs on wax paper.  They were enjoyed as dessert that night!

For the Death of the Firstborn, I decided to focus on the Passover rather than attempt to explain the plague to pre-schoolers.  So, we made some Passover cups, decorated with jewels, and we will use them at our Passover meal in a few weeks!
