Day 3 of creation God made the dry land and the plants.

 More or Less Seed Counting.

Materials:
  • large seeds (we used sunflower)

 Instructions:
Place two different number flash cards on the table.  Have your child count the corresponding number of seeds on to each card.  Then ask your child to place the small object next to the card that has more (or less if you want to switch it up).

Activity #2 (art)

Smelly Flowers

cosmetic cotton pads (or balls)
glue
green pipcleaners
perfume (optional)

Step 1: Color the cupcake liners with markers.

Step 2 (optional)

You have some great ideas for this unit. Thanks for sharing them. I know my little girl will love to do these activities. One of the things I did with my older children when we were talking about creation was make collages for each day. They are still up on our wall. This is the link if you want to have a look..
