Stack It Up Week 2: Early Childhood

First, watch this week’s video!

Stack It Up

Have fun learning and playing with your preschooler!

Activity

Star Jump

What You Need:

Paper, scissors, and painter’s tape

What You Do:

Cut out seven to ten star shapes. Find a wall in your home where your child can safely jump up and tape the stars on.

Place a loop of painter’s tape on the back of each star. Place the stars on the floor next to the wall, tape side up.

Invite your child to play a game. Say, “Today we learned that God made the stars in the sky! We’re going to celebrate what God made by seeing how high on this wall we can put the stars. Pick up the star, then jump as high as the sky and stick it to the wall!”

Encourage your child and cheer them on as they stick each star to the wall. When they are finished, “star gaze” by laying down and counting the stars together.

Bible Story

Land, Plants, and Seas; Sun, Moon, and Stars

(Genesis 1:9-19)

Remember This

“God saw everything he had made. And it was very good.”

Genesis 1:31, NIrV

Say This

Who made everything? God made everything!

When you are finished say, “God made the whole world and everything in it. Today, we learned that on day four, God made something bright and beautiful. God said, ‘Let there be lights in the sky!’ God made the sun for the daytime, then God made the moon and stars for the nighttime. God looked at the sun and moon and stars and saw that it was GOOD. God made everything! Who made everything? God made everything.”

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for making the sun, the moon, and the stars. They are so beautiful! You are amazing. You made EVERYTHING! Amen.”
