Our verse this week is Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” I picked this one because our pastor spoke about it on Sunday. And it’s one that my kids need to remember—they aren’t cleaning their room because I asked them to do it–they’re working for God. Who am I kidding? I need to remember that! I’m not doing the dishes for my family–I’m serving the Lord!
Totally unconnected, we checked out a huge book: Four Classic Stories by Virginia Lee Burton
{that license plate is my attempt to copy our Georgia peach plates!}
We grabbed some old shoe boxes and covered them with construction paper. We just cut out rectangles and glued them–a good shape practice for Lydia! We added circle wheels, a license plate and some foam headlights. But the best part was the corners of the egg carton I cut out for the cab. We drew windshields and the kids colored drivers. We also named our trucks: Lucy and Gus.
Then I cut out a skinny piece of brown paper (oh, how I love that brown paper!), added a few lines to it to look like a road. Then wrote our verse right down the middle. I taped it to the floor and let the kids push their trucks down the road. They had an absolute blast!
The paper is still in the middle of the floor 2 days later. I’m going to keep it there until it’s memorized!
Good Job Momma! this looks like lots of Bible learning fun!
I just stumbled upon your website and cannot tell you what a huge blessing this is going to be for our family! We just started officially homeschooling this year and started blogging at http://growing3godlygirlz.blogspot.com. This is going to be such a wonderful tool for me! I have been searching for the best tools out there for Bible verse memorization and I know we will use yours a lot!
Blessings,
Aria
