Week One: God’s Creation is Amazing
Preschoolers are natural-born noticers.
They crouch low to examine a ladybug, hold a rock in their palm like it’s a treasure, and gasp in delight when they find a feather or spot a butterfly.
This week is about honoring that wonder.
Week One of God’s Amazing World is an invitation to slow down, step outside, and explore the intricate beauty of God’s creation. Through daily devotionals, nature-based activities, and hands-on learning, your child will discover that every leaf, shell, and wing was lovingly designed—and that they are, too. This is a Christian preschool nature curriculum that is less like a “curriculum” and more like an invitational guide to wonder.
When we teach them to slow down and see the wonder in a leaf or a shell, we’re planting seeds of worship.
What We’re Learning This Week
The theme “God’s Creation is Amazing” is the perfect starting point for your gentle summer learning rhythm. It lays a foundation of awe and gratitude while awakening curiosity about the world around us.
Each week focuses on a few specific aspects of creation—plants, animals, textures, design, and the uniqueness of every living thing. The lessons are short, meaningful, and open-ended, giving you the freedom to adapt them to your child’s pace and interests.
In this unit, your child will:
Examine real objects from nature to discover surprising patterns and textures
Learn about leaf veins, snail shells, butterfly wings, and other marvels of creation
Practice noticing, naming, and giving thanks for the small things
Engage their senses through gentle exploration, touch, movement, and color
Begin to understand that creation isn’t random—it’s intentional
