Play! Listen! Talk!

Have you ever read the label on something and it said “washable” but it turned out NOT to be washable?

Well, in the art activity I led today (making fingerprint paths on butcher paper to show that God is with us wherever we go), I was very grateful that the ink pads really WERE washable. Both boys and girls were intrigued with this activity. I had wondered if some kids wouldn’t want to get messy, but that didn’t turn out to be a problem at all! In fact, several kids enjoyed the messy factor so much that they made handprint paths! So we drew roads and houses and our church and connected them all with a multitude of colorful fingerprints.

Other small favors from today’s lesson:
*the challenge of “Let’s see if everyone can put away 7 things” continues to work to help kids quickly clean up the blocks, the play dishes and more.
*the shout-out of “I love these” from a boy who spotted the dot-to-dots on his TalkTime paper

My favorite small favor continues to be, however, the small children who come to Sunday School. For them, I am very grateful!
