On Day 2
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)

• Colors:
  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.

• Shape:
- Using different sized circular lids, dip the lids into a shallow container of paint and stamp onto a piece of paper.  Use green and yellow paint.

- Sing the Circle Song
Tune: Up on the Housetop
Circle, circle big and round (make big circles in the air as you sing)
Where they end can not be found
Tires, balls, the earth, and sun
Making circles is so much fun.

• Number:
Using the Apple Tree Number Book, point and count the apples on the trees.  Continue to point and count items you find throughout the day.

• Self-Care and Manners:
Toy clean up can be a trying activity for all involved when the child doesn't participate or participate willingly.  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.

• Book of the Week:

• Fine Motor Skill:

• Gross Motor Skill:
