Ice Cream Preschool Theme
You know you’re headed into summer with a theme like ice cream!! My kids love doing ‘school’ in the summer. If you’re following along on my themes, we are reviewing the letter O this week. My 2 year old will be working on the number 20 (the highest number she can count to right now), while my now 5 year old will be working on some of the ‘harder’ shapes.

How do we know – Blow up a balloon and release. Watch the balloon fly around the room. Ask the child, “What made the balloon fly around?” Air “Can you see the air?” Repeat several times and let the child try to catch the balloon. “Now let’s look outside. When you see the leaves moving on a tree, what makes the leaves move? Wind Can you see the wind? Just like we can not see the air and wind, we can not see the Holy Spirit. Then how do we know that the wind, air, and Holy Spirit are real? We can see the effect of the air as it blows a balloon across the room. We can see the effect of wind as it moves the leaves about. Christians can see the effect of the Holy Spirit when they make good choices and obey even when they don’t feel like it.
