Bb is for Bible

Bb is for Bible, boat and best friend! Today we 

learned about all three. The kids started out

painting a storm using bouncy balls in a shallow box.
It's lots of fun watching the balls roll through the paint
 leaving  quite a storm on the light blue paper. Just place the paper
in a shallow box. Add 3 or 4 bouncing balls to the box and
 squirt some paint on them. I used blue and white paint. The kids tip the box
back and forth and roll the balls creating a great storm picture. While the
stormy pictures dried the boat building began. I pre cut
 the boats, sails and  a simple Jesus figure and taped a craft sick
 to the back of the boat. The kiddos added a sail and Jesus
 to the boat. To make our stormy clouds  they gently
 pressed cotton balls into gray paint and glued them on.
 Last we added shiny pipe cleaners for lightning. The
kiddos enjoyed retelling the Bible story as
they built their pictures. I was so  blessed hearing
the story in their own words and reminding
them that Jesus is their best friend and is always
with them!
