| Bible Verse Bracelets: Luke 5:11 "From now on you will catch men" When the fishermen saw the miracle Jesus had done for them, how they'd caught so many fish that their boats nearly sank, they were amazed. They were so convinced that Jesus was the Son of God that they left everything they had to follow Him! |

Don't Rock the Boat: The Story of the Miraculous Catch, A Me Too! Book By Marilyn Lashbrook / Standard Publishing Children love to listen, but even more, they love to participate. Me Too! Books invite your young child to join in the fun by pointing, repeating, filling in, making sounds, reading aloud and answering questions. But best of all, these books present Bible stories and truths in simple words a young child can understand. Little ones can learn so much! Me Too! Books make it easy for these little ones to learn about God. Catching fish is man's work; catching men is God's work. Jesus showed his disciples how to do both. Don't Rock the Boat will assure your child that God has the power to care for His little ones and help them do great things. Recommended for ages 2 to 7. |

Fishing Center
Prepare a "fishing" center complete with "fishing poles"
and magnetic "fish." You can easily create your own by
tying string to the end of a wooden dowel or stick and
attaching a small magnet at the end of the string. The
"fish" can simply be paper clips, or you can tape paper
fish to the paper clips for a more realistic effect. Also
include some non-magnetic items in the fishing pool,
along with some other small magnetic items (these
could be the crabs or turtles of the fishing hole!) and
observe the differences in the items.
