Baby Moses 

God is always with us was today's
Bible focus.The story of Moses is perfect for teaching about
 Gods  presence. From the time Moses was a baby all through his
  adulthood God was always right there with
him. I want the kids to know that He is also
right with us all the time. I had found some plastic pot
scrubbers at the dollar store and knew they would be fun
to paint with. Before we started I hot glued the pot scrubbers to
 the top of medicine bottles. These make great handles!
I then put different shades of blue paint on paper plates.
I added a plate of white paint so the kids could create shades
 of light blue and green paint for the reeds in the water. I found 
the colorful baby Moses at christianpreschoolprintables.com.
They were actually a file folder game, but worked great on
our Nile river. The pot scrubbers and paint created great rivers! 
After they had dried a bit the kids picked out a 
colorful Moses and glued him on. 
Supplies needed
plastic pot scrubbers
white construction paper
baby Moses printable's
paint & paper plates

Lots of little frogs!
We had lots of fun learning about frogs today!
The kids enjoyed the the book"Frogs" by Susan Canizares. 
It is one of Scholastic's science emergent readers with
 wonderful photographs of the life cycle of frogs. We 
also read "frogs lunch" by Dee Lillegard and sang
five green and speckled frogs. We had such a fun cirlcle time!
At the art table the kids sponge painted frog masks. I put out 
three diffrent shades of green paint and  sponge squares
 clipped onto clothes pins. I Made a  frog template, cut the
 masks out of card stock and taped a large craft stick to
 the back of the mask. When our masks were dried I
used a sharpie marker for the mouth and the kids
added precut black and white circles for the eyes
 and a red construction paper tongue. The kids were
so cute singing 5 green Speckled frogs
with their masks on.
