Creation: Day 3

We had so much fun remembering what God created on the third day. 

Caleb played with the puzzles that we had made last year. 

To make these puzzles, what I did was print some different pictures of flowers or plants. Then I glued them to a carton, taped them with packing tape and cut them out. 

It’s a simple and practical way to make puzzles for your kids. What kids don’t love to play with puzzles? 

We continued with our Creation book, and this time we used construction paper, glue, popsicle sticks, mosquito netting, and a little bit of sand. 

The first thing that Caleb did was make the “river” with blue finger paint. 

Then he glued on the “land.” 

We made the trees with some popsicle sticks 

And the mosquito netting

 We also used flower stickers (we had to use liquid silicone to make the stickers stay on top of the sand)

 We used “Do-a-Dot” markers for the first time

It was really fun

 He put the broccoli and tomatoes in order based on size

 Using colored pom-poms

 He also matched the similar flowers

 We really had a lot of fun doing each of these activities. I think the most important thing is that Caleb has fun while learning God’s Word.

We have already learned about the first three days of creation and I’m dying to learn the rest.

 A few other things that we’ve done and we can do:

 1- Go out and gather plants and flowers. You can put the flowers in a notebook or simply put them in a tupperware container or bag. The idea is to use the flowers and plants as a way to talk about how God created fruits and plants on the third day.

 2- You can also go for a little trip to the river or beach (we went to the river).

 3- Make a fruit salad.

Creation: Day 2

Today we learned about the second day of creation. 

We went over our visuals from last year 

We continued working on our “Little Creation Book.” 

On a page of construction paper, I drew the clouds and the ocean. Caleb used finger paints to paint the ocean (he had so much fun doing it) 

We used cotton to make clouds 

And we glued them on.

That night we reviewed the story with our “scene”.

 Something that we did before: We went out to play in the rain, something that Caleb loves, and while we played, we talked about how the rain comes from the clouds and that God created the clouds on the second day

Creation Day 1

We started with homeschool this week! After some vacation time, Caleb and I are so excited to start homeschool again! 

Because it has been a long time since our last classes, I decided to take a couple of weeks to do a review. This week will look at the first four days of creation, some colors and shapes. 

Yesterday (Monday) we reviewed the first day of creation. 

One of the things that I put more emphasis on is the Word of God and the truth. It is so exciting seeing him learn 

To review the first day of creation, we saw some visuals of the day and night. 

We also did some activities because we learn more with the things we do.

We used three sheets of construction paper and glue 

Caleb had fun breaking the black and yellow construction paper with his fingers. 

Then he glued on the white sheet. This activity also helps develop fine motor skills and is very fun. 

Another little thing I did was print different pictures and then play "Place on the sun or the moon"

First we painted a sun and a moon on the floor of my house.

Then he had to put the picture on the sun, if it is something you do during the day, or the moon, if it's something he does at night. So you can identify the difference between things that are done during the day and those done at night.

I tried to have pictures of the things he does daily. 

Note: Some things we did last year 

1. We sat on the bed and turn off our light (at nighttime) and I began to tell how in the beginning everything was dark, then lit the lantern and speak of light, then switch on the light in the room. We played for a while turning on and turning off the light (as we talked about the day and night)

2. Throughout the day we looked out the window and repeated "day", then at night we went out and showed it was "night".
