God Made My Eyes
Child will know that God gave them eyes to see beautiful things
Child will use their eyes to explore and identify different objects
Child will thank God for the gift of sight
“I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.”
— Psalm 139:14 (WEB)God carefully and wonderfully made every part of us, including our amazing eyes that let us see His beautiful creation
Welcome to today's BibleMouse lesson! Start by having your child look in the hand mirror. Say, 'Look at those beautiful eyes! Who do you see?' Let them giggle and make faces. Then say, 'Last week we learned that God loves you SO much! Today we're going to discover something amazing God gave you - your eyes!'
Hold up the mirror again and point to your child's eyes. 'God gave you these special eyes! Your eyes are not just any eyes - they're YOUR special eyes that God made just for you. The Bible tells us that God made us fearfully and wonderfully - that means He made us amazing and special!' Show the eye pictures from your BibleMouse materials.
Take your child on a visual exploration adventure using their eyes to discover God's wonderful world around them.
Simpler: Simply point to and name colorful objects without the tubes, focusing on 'eyes see' language
Challenge: Have child describe what they see using simple color and size words
Sit together and practice the memory verse while pointing to your eyes. Look around one more time and name three favorite things you can see. Your BibleMouse curriculum includes wonderful activities all week to explore how special your eyes are!
Dear God, thank You for making my eyes so I can see all the beautiful things You made. Help me remember that You made me special. Amen.
Coming up: Tomorrow we'll discover all the amazing colors your special eyes can see!
“God made me special!”
— Psalm 139:14 (WEB)🎯 Activity: Point to your eyes and say 'God made me special!' then look around and point to three things you can see. Repeat three times with excitement!
This lesson begins a week focused on the sense of sight and God's intentional design of our bodies. At age 3, children are naturally curious about their bodies and love exploring with their senses.
Some children may be distracted by the mirror or want to play with it instead of listening - that's perfectly normal exploration!
Child shows interest in looking at things, attempts to repeat 'God made me special,' and engages with the visual exploration
