Discuss various modes of transportation – types of planes, hot air balloons, gliders, hang gliding. Is there one that your child has done or would like to try? Talk about how long it would take to drive to a particular destination (maybe a relative in another state) vs how long it would take to fly

¼ apple – cored, unpeeled

2 tsp pineapple juice

2 drops lemon juice

¼ tsp honey

pinch of cinnamon

Directions:

Read story. Get a zip lock bag for child to empty their piggy bank in. Take the bag.  Ask them if they would like to have all the coins back? Before you hand them the bag, take out a handful (in their full sight) but act like you’re giving them the whole thing. Put the extra coins in your pocket or lap. If they don’t say anything lead the conversation to the fact that you took some. Talk about the fact that you didn’t give them “all” back like you said. God knew Ananias and Saphira didn’t give it all either.

Directions:

Holding up first set of objects, describe to child which one is bigger – why? Is it taller? Is it wider? Is it heavier? Then talk about the smaller one. Take out 2 more items. Ask child to tell you which one is bigger and which one is smaller. Go through all items.

Directions:

Chop apple into smaller pieces. Put in blender with pineapple juice and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Pour into bowl and add a pinch of cinnamon.
