Noah Activities

Our Bible theme this month is the story of Noah.  Everyday we read and talk about the story.

Hailey is playing with her ark and the animals.  We sorted the animals together so that there were 2 of each kind and then Hailey put them on the ark with Noah.  (She calls Noah “Ho, Ho” because he looks like Santa…)

We’ve been talking about how the rainbow was God’s promise so we we started making our own rainbow.

Draw a rainbow (I did my best, I am terrible at drawing), get some scrap paper to tear up, and some glue.

We glued the red onto the rainbow.  We only did red because Hailey was pretty much just eating the glue and not really interested in doing anymore colors.  So, it was time to stop the activity.

Orange and Triangles

Again this week our color is orange and our shape is the triangle.  Here are the activities we did:

Sponge painting- you’ll need: paper, pumpkin shaped sponge (I did my best but Hailey thought it was an apple.), orange paint and paper.

And for our triangle activity:

Since our shape last month was the circle, I decided to use a circle in this activity.  I put a large triangle and a large circle on this piece of paper.  Then I cut out a bunch of small circles and triangles.

Then I had Hailey put the small circles on the big circle and small triangles on the big triangle.

Once she understood what we were doing, we added some glue and she glued the pieces on the right places.  This is also a great activity for practicing colors.

Orange, Triangles and the Number Three

Our color this month is orange and our shape is the triangle.  Here is one of the crafts we did to reinforce this information.

Here’s what you’ll need: orange paint, paper plate, something to paint with, black and green paper.

Paint the plate orange.

Cut out some black triangles and a green stem for your child.  Or if your child is older you should have your child do the cutting.

Once the paint is dry, glue on the stem and triangles.  I did not tell Hailey where to put the triangles for this project, I simply suggested where they could go if she wanted them to be eyes, nose, mouth, etc.  She picked where to put them though.

Our number this month is the number 3 and here is the craft we did last week for that.

Here’s what you’ll need: a large number 3, construction paper in a different color, paint, paper plate, and some fun paint rollers.  (Hailey got those paint rollers for her birthday, aren’t they cute!!)

Put some paint on the roller and paint the number 3.

I cut out the number 3, glued it to the other paper, added the word “Three” and put three stickers on.  I added this to our number wall.

Fun With Numbers, Shapes and Colors

Last week I introduced the number 2 to Hailey.  She very easily picked up on the number 2 while, for some reason, she has a hard time with the number one (maybe because it looks like an i or l???).  Anyways, I had Hailey decorate a number 2 for our number wall.

Here’s what you’ll need: a large number 2 (I used red construction paper, because red is our color this month), another piece of construction paper in a different color, a paper plate, paint, and something fun to paint with.

Hailey used the scrub brush to paint the number two.

Once it was dry, I cut it out and glued it onto a different colored piece of construction paper, added the word “two” and put two stickers on.

Our shape for September was circles and our color was red, so we did this project to reinforce that information.

Here’s what you’ll need: bubble wrap (I have some with both large and small circles), a paper plate, red paint, a foam brush and paper.  I also had some bubble wrap set aside because I knew when we were done painting that Hailey was going to want to pop some.

Paint the bubble wrap using the foam brush.

And now the small bubble wrap.

Press a piece of paper onto the painted bubble wrap.
