God created the sky (wave arms in the air) and water (make waves with hands)
On Day 3
God created land (with palms facing the floor, run hands flat in front of you) and plants (place one fist inside the other and pop the one fist through the other - sign language for plant)
On Day 4
God created the sun (hold arm up in the air with fingers spread wide), moon (with opposite arm make a "c" formation with your hand in the air), and stars (with index fingers putting up alternate right and left hand moving up in the air - sign language for stars)

- Do you Know Who Made the World? (Thank you, Connie, for this idea.)
Tune: "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or "Do You Know the Muffin Man"
Do you know who made farm animals,
made farm animals, made farm animals?
Do you know who made farm animals?
It was God who made them.
• Self-Care and Manners:
Toy clean up can be a trying activity for all involved when the child doesn't participate or participate willing. Hopefully by starting early, making it part of the normal routine, and having fun, it will be a simple process for all involved. Have a rule that all toys must be put away before new toys are brought out. Make sure that all toys have a consistent "home" and that the child knows where this place is. Make a game out of clean-up: try to beat the timer, have a race, or take turns picking up a toy. Some people like to use a "Clean Up Song" to set the tone for the activity. Here is an example:
Tune: London Bridges
It is time to clean it up
Clean it up, clean it up
it is time to clean it up
Let's all help.
• Circle Activity: 
- Sing the Circle Song
• Color Activity:
Flatten a coffee filter. Draw on the filter with green and yellow washable markers. Spray once in the middle of the coffee filter with a squirt bottle. Watch for about a minute as the colors run. Spray once again and watch. You may need to spray a few more times to get the water to reach the sides.
• Number:
Using the Apple Tree Number Book, point and count the apples on the tree. Continue to point and count items you find throughout the day.
• Fine Motor Skill:
Place the Circle Poster on a vertical surface and fingerpaint
• Gross Motor Skill:
Using a large ball such as a beach ball, sit on the floor and roll the ball back and forth.
