Baby Moses in a Basket
Exodus 2:1–10 · Tiny Bible Story for ages 2–4
A mommy has a baby boy. He is a fine, fine baby. Rock, rock, rock. Rock the baby in your arms!
She gets a little basket. She covers it with sticky tar. Now no water can get in. Pat, pat the basket!
She puts her baby in the basket. Snug, snug, snug. Where is the baby? Point to the baby!
She lays it in the tall grass by the river. Splish, splash goes the water. Splish, splash, little river!
Big sister stands far away. She watches and watches. God takes care of baby Moses. Peek through your fingers!
A princess comes down to the river to wash. Her helpers walk by the water. Where is the princess?
The princess sees the basket in the tall grass. She sends a helper to get it. Where is the basket?
She opens it. Waaah, waaah, the baby cries! The princess is kind to him. Cry like a baby: waaah!
Big sister comes to the princess. “Should I get a lady to feed him?” The princess says, “Go.” Run, run, big sister!
Big sister gets the baby’s own mommy! Mommy feeds him and holds him. God takes care of baby Moses. Give a big, soft hug!
The baby grows and grows. The princess names him Moses. Grow tall: up, up, up!
God sees his people. God knows all about them. God takes care of baby Moses. Pat your heart and rest.
Prayer: Thank you, God, for taking care of me. Amen.
For grown-ups: Rock your arms like a cradle on the first page. Let your child find the basket and the big sister. Ask: “Who is watching the baby?”
