In today's BibleMouse lesson, we're going to celebrate how God kept His people safe! Remember yesterday when Moses held up his staff and God made the water split apart?
God did something amazing! He made a dry path right through the middle of the sea. The water was like two big walls on the sides, and God's people walked right through on dry ground!
Use the blue fabric to create the 'sea'. Use the fan to part the fabric. Let children walk through the 'sea' with toy people, adding fish stickers as a fun touch.
Simpler: Parent helps move the fabric and people
Challenge: Child creates the sea crossing story with minimal help
God is so amazing! He always takes care of us, just like He took care of His people at the Red Sea.
Dear God, thank You for always taking care of us. Help us to trust You like the people trusted You at the Red Sea.

“God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found.”
