May. 29, 2009 - Proverbs Project
Well, we finished our ABC Bible Curriculum, as I mentioned before, and we also did a "What the Bible Says About Manners" study, among other misc things.... but now we are starting a new Bible study, officially and I am SO excited about it!! This one is about Proverbs, and I will blog about it in more detail in the future, but I just thought I'd post today about a project we did today. It was totally impromptu!
We read Proverbs 1 today, and in verse nine it says , "Your parents teaching will beautify your life. It will be like flowers on your head or a chain around your neck."
When we read that verse, I had an idea! We got these foam circles and flowers that I picked up last year at a garage sale, some yarn, some beads and a pen. I asked the children some of the things that Mommy and Daddy are always trying to teach them, and we wrote these things on the flowers and circles, and then we made necklaces out of them!
This project was actually really encouraging for ME, because I saw that they could readily remember some of the things we were trying to teach them!
Our supplies:
I thought it was hilarious that when I asked them what Mommy and Daddy are always trying to teach them, this was the first thing they said:
Joshua busy working on his: 
Dominique's Finished Product:
Some of her "adornments" of wisdom:
Joshua's Finished Product:
And some of Joshua's adornments of wisdom:
These are some of the things Mommy and Daddy are trying to teach Israel:
And, Israel's finished product:

Ok, that was a great idea AND really funny! Change your underwear! Obey! :D And I never thought of telling dd that she needn't say everything she thinks, at least not in so many words...that may become a new mantra 'round here ;)
