Cycle 3: What Birds Eat & Trusting God for Our Needs
Objective: Children will explore what birds eat and understand that just as God feeds the birds, He also provides for us.
1. Opening Exploration:
• Show different types of bird food (seeds, fruit, worms in pictures).
• Ask, “Who gives food to the birds? Do birds go to the store?”
2. Bible Connection:
• Revisit Matthew 6:26 and explain how birds don’t worry about food because God provides for them.
• Relate this to how we can trust God to take care of our needs.
3. Hands-On Activity:
• Make a simple bird feeder using a toilet paper roll, peanut butter, and birdseed.
• Let children sprinkle seeds outside and watch if birds come.
4. Closing Reflection:
• Thank God in prayer for always providing for His creation, including us.
• Sing a song about trusting God (“He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”).
