Suggested Activities:

• Bible Story Activities:   
- ABC Book:  Pinch a pom pom in a clothes pin.  Assist the child in dipping the pom pom into white paint to stamp circles on the Offering worksheet.
  
• Color Activities:  
Color Handprints  Handprint Wall - Add a white handprint to your color wall by painting the child's hand and stamping it onto a black piece of paper.  Write the name of the color on the handprint.  Display it at the child's level to point and discuss the colors.

• Shape Activities: 
Play Dough Shapes For the next eight week of shape activities, the child will create shapes out of play dough (or pipe cleaners for those who put play dough into their mouths) using Shape Worksheets.  Roll play dough into a snake and lay on the Circle worksheet to form a circle.  Allow the child to play with the circle play dough as you discuss the shape.  Because play dough sometimes ends up in the mouth, I encourage you to make your own.  Click to see my favorite play dough recipe

• Animal Activities:   
- Glue marshmallows on the Owl worksheet. 
- Explain that owl are awake during the night and asleep during the day.
- Find pictures of owls in the books that you read.
- An owl says "hoo."

• Taking Care of Me Activities:  
This week focus on the child's first and last name.  Work on the child clearly pronouncing each.  Teach the child to look the person in the eyes when she is asked her name.

• Book of the Week Ideas:  
- Count and point at the owls on each page. 
- Point to white items in the illustrations.
- The owl's eyes are circles.  Point and count the circles.

• Fine Motor Skill:  
Child cooking granola. Helping in the kitchen is a wonderful fine motor activity for children, beyond the time together it provides.  Allow your child to assist by helping you stir, pour, unwrap, and shake.  Placing a damp cloth under a bowl helps keep it from slipping.  This week make homemade pizza and allow the child to help stir together the crust and spread the sauce.  Add circular toppings (pepperoni) and white cheese.  

• Gross Motor Skill:  
Dirty Clothes - To further teach obedience, this week instruct the child to pick up dirty clothes and place in the hamper.  Make this part of the child's daily routine. For ideas, view the video below or click to view
