Introduce your little ones to the Pilgrims with a gentle, hands-on unit made just for preschool and kindergarten. In four lessons, children hear the true story of the Pilgrims’ faith and courage, from the stormy voyage on the Mayflower to the first harvest, and see how God cared for them every step of the way.

Each lesson opens with a large classic-style painting and a short three-sentence story your child can enjoy while looking at the picture together. Then your child makes the story with a cut-and-glue craft, plays it with a story game, and draws it on a “My Picture Page” with big handwriting lines for copying a simple sentence.

The four lessons:

• Courage to Cross the Sea – Build the Mayflower craft and the Race to the New Land board game with Voyage Cards of true events from the 1620 voyage
• Strength to Build – Build a Pilgrim House craft and Pilgrim Work Charades
• Faithful Through the Winter – Make the House Warm craft (with a Pilgrim family to cut out) and Pilgrim Memory Match
• Blessings of the Harvest – Plant the Corn craft and Harvest Hidden Pictures

Every lesson includes: a parent Lesson Plan with a Biblical Principle and Leading Idea, a Scripture verse to read aloud, look-closely and talk-together questions with answers to guide you, step-by-step craft and game directions, and a short history note.

Also included: a Welcome page with the daily rhythm and a simple supply list, an Overview of all four lessons, and an answer key. Supplies are simple: scissors, a glue stick, crayons, a paper clip, and a Bible.
