MMM Activity - Nature Walk: Take a Nature Walk! Spend some time marveling at God's handiwork.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning GOD CREATED the heavens and the earth.
Now Choose : Decaf or Regular
MMM Decaf -
Take a walk in your neighborhood, park or nature trail. Take time to 'smell the roses'. Look for signs of spring - sights, sounds and smells.
Discuss these questions :
What was the most interesting/beautiful/wild thing you saw on your walk?
What things did you see that will be different/gone by the end of summer?
Do you think we enjoy God's creation as much as He enjoyed creating it?
MMM Regular - Start with decaf and then take it to the limit!!
Complete the activities & discussion questions above, then choose 1, 2 , 4 (or more) of the following :
1. Read about CREATION - Genesis Chapter 1&2 (you could take a break during your walk to do this)
2. Search the Bible for more verses about creation/nature.
3. Collect 1 or 2 nature items on your walk to identify later. (you could use these items in a craft project) - Email me if you need any ideas...I don't want to bore everyone with my 'crafty' rambling.
4. Take pictures of your favorite objects in nature. Write a poem, song or acrostic to go with your favorite photo.
5. Plant something. Take pictures 1 time a week/month to see the progress.
6. Take a field trip to a nature center.
7. Research : What does it mean to 'have a green thumb'? Where did that phrase come from?
8. Serve/Volunteer : Help a neighbor/local church weed their flowerbeds.
Teachers (Moms) - If you've never read A Pocketful of Pinecones by Karen Andreola, I highly recommend it. Enjoy His Creation (including your kids).
Let your creative juices (coffee, of course) flow!
Blessings to you & yours -
