Change of Plans

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but Gabriel has decided he doesn't want to color anymore ;) Well on most days anyway, and then when he does want to color, he prefers to do his own thing. Since he is too little to force things on him (plus the fact that I spent way too much time online trying to find the perfect coloring pages), we'll just try something else. I'll start a new blog about it soon!

Week 3: Abraham (2)

He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." (Genesis 15:5)

You can find this picture here. I let Gabriel put the star stickers on it. I'm amazed at how well he can handle these little-bitty stickers now, compared to just a few weeks ago!

You can find this coloring page here.

Week 3: Abraham (1)

The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.

"I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
(Genesis 12)

This coloring page can be found here.

Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."
(Genesis 13:12-17)

And here's a silly video for this week that any toddler will love!

Week 2b: Noah's Ark (3)

Here is the last part of our lessons about Noah. You can find the coloring page here and the rainbow here. I helped Gabriel with the rainbow to get the colors right.

A little break...

A quick update: because we were gone for 2 days last week, I got a little behind on Gabriel's lessons. So I decided to take this week off (we still have 1 Noah lesson to finish though) and prepare the lessons for the next few weeks. Next week we'll be learning about Abraham!

Week 2b: Noah's Ark (2)

In our second lesson about Noah, we learned about how God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Gabriel put an ark, clouds, and raindrop stickers on this card.

And then he learned about the dove that Noah sent from the ark. You can find this coloring page here.

Week 2b: Noah's Ark (1)

Our next story is about Noah's Ark. First Gabriel colored this coloring page. He got a little excited with some dark colors which made it hard to see the picture! So I let him do another one and put that one on the card.

Then I printed some animals, cut them out and he pasted them on the card.


Here are some pictures you can print and use.


And here's a fun song to sing with your child.
