Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22.6

Mark and I take seriously the Bibles charge to train and teach our children in the ways of God. We have recently been challenged to take every opportunity to do this. One of the things that we have lined up to do with Boo and our Little Mister this week is a Wonder Walk.

We will prepare by going to the local travel agent and picking up their guides for various destinations. We will then read the account of creation to the kids and focus on the fact that God made everything good. Afterwards we will take our digital camera and take the kids for a walk at our local national park where they can help Mummy and Daddy take photos of trees, flowers, the lake, animals and anything else that God has made. During this time we will continually talk with Boo and Little Mister about these creations and how special they are. We will also encourage them to pick up leaves, feathers and twigs to use at home. Once we are home Boo will use the photos combined with the pictures in the travel catalogs to make a collage or a book (any scrapbook would do).

It does take a little bit of preparation but with the internet, travel agents and your digital camera you can make a wonderful and personal resource for your kids to learn about the story of creation.

Have fun and happy Walking!

P.s. As a bonus, Mark has made some wallpapers that use some great pictures of different nature scenes that you can use too.
