God provides us with variety and beauty. As his children we need to learn to notice and appreciate that beauty. One way to do this is in nature itself. So as you wander through the woods or a park, take time to enjoy each other, notice the colors and say “thank you” to God.
Instructions: Choose a favorite trail through the woods or a place in a park. Bring the coloring book, crayons and colorful treats to eat. Enjoy your time on the walk, but also make it constructive by helping the children notice the different colors in nature.
Each time a new color is noticed:
The goal is to completely color the picture in the coloring book with the same colors that you saw in the out-of-doors while on your walk.
Choose either option:
“Jesus Loves the Little Children”
Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
When you are singing the colors, point to the colors that correspond on the page in the coloring book.
Have everyone choose one of the colorful items they saw in nature and say “thank you” to God.
