Bible Theme: Being Content
We've all read the story about the Grouchy Ladybug,
but what does the Bible have to say about grouchy
behavior? Teach children how God calls them to Love
him with all their hearts, and to share that love with
their friends and family.

Bugs: Fit A Shape Board Book By Homeschool / Running Press Book Publishers Bugs is creative and developmental fun. Find the bug that goes with each picture in the book. Does the ladybug go with the web or the leaves? Can you fit the ladybug shape into the spot next to the leaves? You've matched the bug! Recommended for ages 4 and under. |
Morning Circle Time
Show the letter "V" to the children. Say the "V" sound together. Ask the children for
examples of "V" words. Repeat these together. Show the children a close-up photo of a
Velvet Mite. Ask the children if they know what velvet is. Have a swatch of velvet to
pass around. Let the children describe what it feels like. Ask them why they think the
Velvet Mite was named after velvet. Spend a moment discussing their suggestions.
Explain that today's lesson will be about two very different kinds of creepy crawlies.
One is an insect, and the other is a reptile. Ask the children if they know some
differences between insects and reptiles. Help them make the distinctions. Make a chart
or graph of the differences if you like.

and interact with. If not, provide a "habitat" (pretend
trees, a blue plastic reptiles and amphibians for the plastic
reptiles and amphibians for the children to use in
imaginary play.

Camouflage Center (Printable)
Let the children experiment with the concept of camouflage
scrapbooking paper scraps, and making pattern-on-pattern
collages. For example, use one sheet of patterned paper for a
background. Then tear strips and shapes out of both that
same kind of pattern and from other patterns and paste them
on. Can the children see how the bits from the same pattern
camouflage or blend in while the other bits stand out? Why
would it be helpful for a chameleon to blend in or
camouflage to its environment? .

Insect Discovery Center
Have some bugs (yes, REAL bugs,) for the children to
examine. If you're brave enough, and depending on the type
of bugs you have, let the children touch the insects and let
them crawl on their hands. If not, have a few select creepy
crawlies in see-through containers (with air-holes punched
in!), magnifying glasses, and notepaper and pens for the
children to take "notes" on their discoveries!

Bible Verse Bracelets:
Romans 12:3
"Do not Think yourself more highly than you ought"
Help the children understand the verse's main point.
What could the confused chameleon and the grouchy grumpy ladybug have done
differently that would have made both them and those around them more happy?
What do we need to know to be content?
Explain that God has made us special, with a plan for each of us. And He has
commanded us to love Him with all our heart, and to love our neighbor as we love
ourselves. Knowing that, we are free to be what He created us to be, and are free from
jealousy, envy, and needing to prove ourselves to others. What wonderful news!

| Make Paper Plate Ladybugs Materials: Paper Plates Red Paint Black Construction Paper Scissors Glue |
| Pre cut spots, legs and head shapes from black construction paper. Let children paint on the paper plates till they're coverd in red. While the paint is still wet, show them how to press on the spots. Use a little dab of glue for the legs and the head. For more Lady bug fun.... Set up the easels and crack out the fingerpaint, and let your little masters create! Encourage the children to make one or more large red circles on their paper. Then show them how to make black dots on the red circles with their fingertips. Add a few lines for legs and antennae and you have perfectly painted ladybugs. Try adding a little green here and there for leaves. Worthy of a frame! |
| Grouchy Ladybug Sequencing cards Children love to retell stories. Use this set of Story Sequencing cards to help children recreate the story of the Grouchy Ladybug.

"The Mixed up Chameleon" by Eric Carle
The chameleon's life was not very exciting until the
day it discovered it could change not only its color
but its shape and size,too. When it saw the wonderful
animals in the zoo, it immediately wanted to be like
them -- and ended up like all of them at once -- with
hilarious results.

Ask the children why the ladybug was so unhappy.
What was it looking for? Why would it want to
fight? Was it trying to prove something to itself or
to others? What hard lesson did it learn?
