We looked at the pairs of animals that we had found and remembered a Bible story about someone else who had pairs of animals: Noah. Ian gave us a great summary of why the ark was built and what happened after Noah and all the animals were aboard. We learned that animals are important to Heavenly Father and we should take care of them as he does.
We enjoyed coloring pictures of birds. One child asked to see photographs of the birds so that she could color them accurately, while another colored rainbow stripes and yet another colored the cardinal orange because "blue jays are orange". Six-year-olds have wonderful imaginations!
