This week we looked at the plagues of Egypt, and talked about how God is Mighty!

I didn't do too much 'extra' this week.  We did a 'I can count Bugs' book (included in the handbook cd... just print, cut, and staple).  We used stickers to put the correct number of bugs on each page, and then the kids could draw/color anything they wanted with the bugs afterwards.  I left the last page for them to draw any number/size bugs they wanted.  In handbook time, we also had blocks set out so the kids could 'build for Pharaoh'. 

I had so many ideas for things I'd have liked to do, but sometimes time just doesn't allow for it.  Anyway, here are some great ideas for crafts/snack that could go along with this lesson.

See this one here.

I had another, similar, idea to this.  Use egg cartons instead of the eggs.  Cut them so that you have three segments per bug, and let the kids color them.  Add the antennae, legs, and eyes.  If you have long legs, you could make them look like grasshoppers or locusts.

This webpage needs translating, but they don't have instructions, nor do they link to someone who does.  But really, no instructions are necessary. This is a great snack idea.  I know butterflies aren't part of the plagues, but hey... they're bugs.  ;)

Other snack ideas included hailstones... or powdered doughnut holes.  Or, you could 'build a bug' using crackers, cream cheese, raisins, and pretzels (antennae or legs). 

This craft at Homeketeers is adorable... great for Valentine's day as well.  I kinda wish we would have had time for this.  The kids would have loved it!

Hope you had fun here this week!  There will be a lot to post for next week, so stay tuned!
