We just finished reading through Exodus and thought you would enjoy seeing a few things we did along the way.
Making bricks out of mud.
See how many!?
Ivy plays task master with the whip.
Gathering “manna” in the wilderness. (oyster crackers) They thought this great fun!
Lance remembered that those who saved theirs to the next day got worms in it! Our fuzzy caterpillar pet played the part beautifully.
Then, as a celebration for finishing the book, we set up a tabernacle…of sorts.
It had blue, purple, scarlet and “fine twined linen” along with badger skin and ram’s skin dyed red.
Inside was the table with the Shew bread, candlesticks…
…and the Ark of the Covenant with manna, Ten Commandments and Aaron’s rod.

The priests were consecrated with “blood” on the right ear lobe, right thumb and right big toe.
The laver with water for washing (a big hit with the babies)
And the alter with a perfect lamb for a sacrifice.
A walk through with the children.
And just for extra – here is my final set of verses for Romans chapter 1. Just a video of the kittens and chickens as I quote God’s word. I’m so ready to switch focus from sin to redemption as I start on chapter 8!
It’s neat to see what your kids remember about the details of the tabernacle.
You had some cute ideas. I liked the manna.
