Preschool: God Made Fish and Birds

We continue to learn about creation and discovered that on day 5, God made fish and birds. Who makes good things? God makes good things.

We had so much fun learning about the creation of these 2 animals. We played a fun game catching tiny toy fish in a pool of water (so some of our kiddos may have come home a little wet) and we made bird pictures with real feathers. We also had goldfish crackers that we scooped out of a goldfish bowl. During talk time, we had a really fun question. Would you rather be a bird or a fish? It was so fun to hear our kids give their answer. Be sure to ask your kiddo what their answer would be!

Parents: Keep reading your creation books at home. Itwill help reinforce what we are teaching at church, and give your child an opportunity to really know the creation story. This week was especially fun because kids love animals. Play a game of pretend at home called shark attack. Spread a blanket out on the floor. Tell your child it is a boat and the rest of the floor is water. Whenever they are on the boat, they are safe. But when they get into the water, the shark might bite them. You get to be the shark. “Swim” far away from the boat so that your child will bravely get in the water. Then chase after them until they are safely on the boat. Taking time to play with your child will give them lots of fun memories at home.

Be sure to practice your memory verse too. “God saw all that He had made and it was very good.” Gen. 1:31
