Last week I helped Sawyer memorize two verses for Cubbies. The first one was "He...made everything beautiful" Ecclesiastes 3:11
I helped the boys make an apple tree with apple prints. I wrote the verse on it and hung it in their bedroom. That way it reminded me to say it every time I saw it or I would ask Sawyer what it said. We have been talking a lot about all of the beautiful things God made.
The next verse or verses he learned was "Give thanks to the Lord...who made the great lights...sun...moon and stars..." Psalm 136:7-9 We made these fun puffy paint moons that I found on No Time For Flash cards.
The boys loved exploring and painting with this fun paint. I kept asking them "who made the moon?" Jax was so cute because he would yell "God!" at the top of his lungs.
Next, Jax painted some stars on a piece of poster board.
When everything was dry I cut out the moon and glued it the poster board. I wrote the Bible verse on the poster and hung it in the boys room. I put it down low, so they can constantly see it and feel the soft, puffy moon they made.
The next day we made suns. Sawyer was able to recite both verses for his teachers, so I think all of the review is really helping him remember.
