Dear Parent & Grandparents,
When I think about this weeks Bible story I think about my siblings. I have two older brothers and one younger sister. I can not imagine putting one of them in a basket and putting them in a river. They may have wanted to put me in a basket. The end of this story is simply amazing! A great example of showing love and care to one another.
To help your preschooler understand this weeks story a little better, locate a small waterproof doll that will fit in a small plastic container. As your child plays with the doll at bath-time, tell this week’s Bible story.

Miriam Loved Her Family Exodus 2:1-10
Bible Story Brief -
• Miriam’s family had a new baby boy. But Pharaoh (FEHR oh), the king of Egypt, did not want Hebrew baby boys to live. The baby’s mother, Jochebed (JAHK uh bed), hid the baby for three months.
• When she could not hide him any longer, Jochebed covered the outside of a basket made from tall grass with black, sticky tar. The tar would keep water out of the basket. She placed her baby in the basket and set the basket in the tall grass at the edge of the Nile River. Miriam stayed to watch her baby brother.
• Pharaoh’s daughter came to take a bath in the river. She saw the basket in the tall grass and sent a helper to get it. When she opened the basket, she saw the baby boy. She felt sorry for him.
• Miriam spoke to Pharaoh’s daughter. “Do you want me to get someone to take care of the baby?” she asked. “Yes,” said Pharaoh’s daughter. Miriam hurried to get her mother.
• “Take this baby and care for him,” Pharaoh’s daughter said to Jochebed. “I will pay you to take care of him.” Jochebed took the baby home to take care of him.
• When he was older, she took him back to Pharaoh’s daughter. Pharaoh’s daughter named him Moses.
