I had missed my little angels and now that the classes are back on, I am feeling so happy and joyful.
In brief, today we learned that God is One and that He sent us His Messengers (Noah, Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus Christ, Mohammad, The Bab and Baha'u'llah) to tell us that He created us because He loves us very much!
And because of His love for us, He made sure we have everything we need and gave us a lot of wonderful gifts, like our families, food, water, plants, all the animals and everything that is in the world.
We also learned that we need to make sure that we thank God for those wonderful gifts He gives us daily by being a good boy and girl and listening and obeying what He asks us to do, and also that we need to make sure that God knows that we love Him too, by saying our prayers every morning and evening.
We also learned a new prayer that we say everyday to let God know that we love Him very much too.
Then we made some beautiful 'Prayer Hands' in crafts time, taken from the book 'Baha'i Crafts for Children', which was so generously sent to me by my dear friend, Amelia, from Canada (Thank you again so much Amelia Joon!).
So for the 'Prayer Hands', we traced and cut out each child's hands on a folded construction paper, making sure that the hands are attached. We then wrote two prayers on the palms side of the hands, and then let the children decorate the fingers and nails and the outside of the hands.
The children loved the idea and so did we!!Here are some pics of 'Tender Seedlings' during crafts time.
