Bible
Story – This week we are talking about Joshua
and the wall of Jericho.
In the Google doc you will find a coloring page, bible story, discussion
questions, building activity and a game!
Here is a video
of the bible story you can watch with your kiddos. Also, there is a Veggie Tale episode of
Joshua that is longer if you are interested!
Picnic
plate – Give your child a white paper plate or cut a large
circle out of white paper if you don’t have any paper plates. Then guide them to draw a picnic lunch on the
plate. Draw an apple (red circle, with a
line stem), sandwich (brown square) and baby carrots (orange ovals or
triangles).
Block
letter initial – Draw or print a large block letter of your
child’s first name. Then have your child
fill it in. They can color it in with
markers, crayons, dot markers, watercolor OR use stickers, rip and glue paper, etc.
Color
sort
– If you have play food, let your child sort it by color. If you don’t have play food, you can use blocks,
cars, buttons, lids, etc. Draw 6 circles
on the rainbow colors of paper (or however many different colored items you
have for sorting) and have your child cut them out. Then have them sort the colorful items you
gathered onto the matching color circle.
Have
a picnic – Make a special lunch or dinner and have a picnic with
your family. Take a blanket outside if
it’s nice or have it inside! My daughter
always thought it was fun when I made a food board and had a picnic in the
house!
Donut –
Let’s make a donut! Print this donut
template. Then fold in
half, directly in the middle of the donut.
This will make it easy for your child to cut it, inside and out. Then open the donut and have your child color
it. You can also have them paint on some
icing, even glue on sprinkles (real or paper).
You can adapt it to the supplies
you have and what you want your child to use.

Which
Has More? – Print this activity and cut apart. Then have your child count the sprinkles on
each set of 2 donuts. Have them tell you
which one has more sprinkles. They can
even clip a clothespin on the one that has more or just point to it.
Donut
matching – This is a game on abcya.com where the child is asked
to pick which donuts are the same or which ones are different.
Fine
motor – Thread fruit loops or other holed cereal onto
spaghetti stuck into play dough.
Shape
search – Print the worksheet and have your kids find all the
triangles in the beach picture, coloring each one.
What
to wear? – Print the worksheet and have your child circle the
items they would wear on a trip to the beach.
(If you slide the paper in a gallon Ziploc bag or page protector they
can use a dry erase marker. Then they
can do this activity multiple times, even changing to what you would pack for a
winter trip.)
Coloring
pages – Chose as many of these coloring pages as you’d
like. You can use different mediums if
you choose to do them all. Use crayons
on one, watercolor one, use markers on one, etc. Page 1…Swimming
fun,
page 2…BBQ
grilling, page 3…Dog
in the pool, page 4…beach
volleyball
Sidewalk
chalk – This
website has so many fun ideas from chalk ice cubes to foam paint
to spray paint!
Ice
cube transfer – You just need two containers, ice, water
and a large spoon! Kids have so much
fun, scooping the ice cubes and transferring them to the water and back.
Fizzy
Rainbow Science – If you have baking soda and vinegar you
can do this activity. Give your kids a
tray of baking soda and let them explore it first, smell it, touch it, draw
shapes in it. Then let them drop the
vinegar/color mixture in and see what happens!
Using a medicine dropper is great
fine motor activity.

Flip flop balloon pop -
We have done something similar before where you blow up a balloon and have your
child try to keep it in the air. This time I want them to hold a flip
flop and keep the balloon bouncing up in the air.
