Today is…Thursday June 30 2011
Our Gospel Lesson was about The Creation, and water:
Giant had to bring over our water experiments for the discussion:
…and of course we had to go outside and check our water evaporation experiment too:
It worked! The plastic wrap was most definitely wet.
After snacks, we looked in our Nature experiment book and read about how Heavenly Father made bugs with different colours:
Then we worked on an activity to test the use of these colours. We coloured some bugs with camouflage colours, and some bugs with bright warning colours:
Then we hid a tasty treat under the camouflage bugs (a chip), and a yucky treat under the warning colour bugs (a hot tamale in this case):
Then we hid them under some leaves. Can you spot the bugs? Which ones would you eat?
When daddy came home for lunch, we had him be our guinea pig. He picked up bugs and ate what was underneath:
The boys watched intently:
DaddyBear learned pretty fast which types of bugs had the yummy chips underneath! (Ettin gladly ate the “yucky” tamales):
After lunch the boys devoured letters from Grandpa and Grandpa and Aunt Emily:
…literally:
(I’m taking that paper out, not putting it in!)
Then we had a rousing game of “Chase”:
Which involves much running around the couch.
The boys just love it!
