This theme has been the toddlers favorite so far! They loved playing with what I call fuzzy balls! (Really they are just pom pom balls from the craft store.) They don't hurt anyone. They're safe for them to chew on (However, I tried to discourage this.) and not to mention soft! Their favorite activity was when we reenacted the story, and I was their Goliath, they had to toss the stones (pom pom balls) at my head. They thought my reaction was hilarious and kept wanting to do it every time we got the story bus out! Also each time we read the story, we all were Goliath. We showed off our muscles and talked about how strong we were!
Story Bus Toys: Pom pom balls for stones, little people fence, farmer (David), Noah (Saul), Sheep
We worked on the letter Dd all week for David (and Daddy)! We pressed a D cookie cutter into the play dough for sensory play.
We made our own shield so that we would remember that God is our shield, and he'll help us fight our Goliath. (giants). They painted a paper plate, and I added a string on the back for them to hold on to it.
We also colored real stones and made a bag to keep them safe. Each stone stands for something we have already learned this year.
