My 3 year old loved this program. She loved listening and dancing to the songs. For unit one, the precept  was God made everything. On one particular sunny day, my 3 year old, 7 year old, and I went outside. I encouraged the girls to find a place where they would be able to see their shadow. They ran around and "chased" it. I told the girls that God made the light which helped to cause their shadow. And that He made everything. Another activity that we did for this particular unit was I lit a candle and turned off the lights. We all sat on the floor and talked about how light helps us see. I asked my 3 year old to point to her eyes, hands, feet, fingers, and toes. We also played with a flash light in the dark room and used our hands to make animal shapes. 

  

   
God is love was the precept for unit 3. On the first day, all three of us went outside and we looked at the trees, grass, plants, etc. We ran, jumped, and just had a great time. After I was exhausted, I asked the girls "Who made all of nature"? They answered correctly.  We also sang, and jumped around to the song "Fun Walk." It goes like this to the tune of "Frere Jacques"

Walking, walking,
Walking, walking,
Hop, hop, hop!
Hop, hop, hop!
Running, running, running,
Running, running, running,
Now we stop.
Now we stop.

For this lesson, we also took a "hike" around the outside of the house. We looked at all of the things that God created and I reminded the girls that God loves them.

This is a mushroom that we found in our "hike."

The precept for unit 4 was give thanks.  On the first day, my youngest and I went into our kitchen. I picked up a fruit and ask her about it. For example, I would ask her what color the fruit was? If the skin was edible? I reminded her that God wants us to be thankful for everything that we have. On day 3, I cut up an apple into slices and had her place peanut butter on the slices. I had her thank God for her snack before she ate her apple slices.
