The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders

We are having a lot of fun doing parables!!!

This week was Easter so we had some outings to go to that caused us to be out late so we weren't able to do a whole week of activities for family time which meant we repeated some of her favorite ones a few times :)

Day One: Learning about the 2 types of builders
        We colored our builders that I made out of pre-made cut outs and talked about how one is really smart and one makes silly decisions.



 Day 2 and Day 3: The house built on the sand
            For day 2, I made a house out of construction paper and made a half sheet of brown paper that was our sand. We practiced putting the house on the sand---but sideways because it wasn't stable.
           For day 3, I took a cup of sand from our sand box and some popsicle sticks and we "built" a house on the sand and then poured a cup of water over the house and watched it float away!
 ..... and then played in the water for a very long time HAHA!

Day 4 and 5: And to do the same thing to learn about the house built on the rock, we made a "house" out of a Styrofoam cup and put it on a rock and poured water in the container and watched it stand strong and also cut a black rock out of paper and placed our cut out house on it and talked about how the rock is strong.

 







If you check out my pinterest, I have many other ideas to bring this bible story to life for your family time!
