God’s Little Explorers Week 26

• Theme:  ”e” is for Excited (Emotions) + Jesus is Alive
• Bible Story:  Jesus’ Death and Resurrection
• Bible Verse:  “He is not here; he has risen!”  Luke 24:6 NIV
• Letter: e
• Color:  Black

Because we were focusing on emotions this week, we did some “art therapy” paintings.  First, I asked them to paint sadness….

Then, anger….

and joy!

We found and sorted black items.

Of course, we had to practice all the different kinds of emotions (and faces) we could make–happy, sad, grumpy, angry, frustrated, surprised, scared, exasperated.  They really hammed this up!

I gave the girls several plastic eggs and had them draw whatever kind of faces they wanted to portray.  This one is happy!

We also used these Alphabet Matching Eggs for a busy bag.

Other Ideas:

• Do an Easter Egg Letter or Number Hunt
• Make Crumpled Tissue Paper Eggs
• Make a Caterpillar to Butterfly Craft
• Make Easter Story Eggs (like Resurrection Eggs, but for preschoolers)
• Make Resurrection Cookies or Resurrection Rolls

Resources:

• God Gave Us Easter
• The Legend of the Easter Egg
