WHAT YOU SAY: 

  • Before the Activity: “Come sit with me! Now, tell me what colors you see.” (Hold up each page and identify its color together.)
  • During the Activity: “Let’s think of some things that God made that are red! (Hold up the red piece of paper.) I’ll write our answers on the red piece of paper. What about an apple? Apples are red!” (Continue with each color, helping with the answers above if needed.)
  • After the Activity: “You named SO many red, blue, yellow, and green things that God made! But He didn’t stop there. God made brown, purple, black, pink, orange and white things too! Because remember, God made everything! Who made everything?” (God made everything.)
