Valentines Fun

Since love is the theme of the month of February, we focused on what love IS and what love ISN'T. The text was out of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

Love is patient, Love is kind,

it does not envy,

it does not boast,

It is not proud,

it is not rude,

it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered,

it keeps no record of wrongs,

love does not delight in evil but

rejoices with the truth,

it always protects,

always trusts,

always hopes,

always perseveres,

love never fails.

Thanks for all the sweet stuffed animals everyone!

This card was for baby Clara Lee.

 

This page is for her Daddy for Valentines.

Look at the concentration....lol

 

This one was for her Papaw but it is now on our refrigerator.

 

Valentine's Sensory Bin

 

 

Our books on LOVE!

1 Cor. 13:4-8a
Jordyn pulled a heart shaped "flower" out of the vase, each "flower" contained a part of the verse on it.
Ex. Does not boast.
The conversations were hilarious as we talked about what each one meant.
We then went to scripture to see what God says about each one.

 

Will you be my Valentine, Jordyn?

1Co 13:7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

While the world is celebrating man-centered love through the endless purchasing of flowers and processed sugars, we hope to teach Jordyn that intense love for man finds its Genesis in a intense love for God. Love for God must precede love for man for it to be genuine; for God is Love. All other forms are merely shadows of true love. Let us not forget why or how we love men and God.

1Jn 4:19 We love because he first loved us.

She took handed the lid to me and said 'red.' Yay!

Fine motor.

 

 

 

All she wanted to do was just EAT THEM.

She wanted to glue--that's it!

 

We are still working on a 'sweet' smile.

 

 

 

Yes she was crying!

 

She got in all these different positions in order to do this activity, I loved watching her mind work.

 

 

Day 5, Valentine's Day, we only did a Sensory Bin.

 

The base is colored dyed rice (Kool Aid and rubbing alcohol). It smells AMAZING!

 

I kept trying to talk about the items, but she was so into this bin she didn't speak for 15 minutes. HAHA
