Last summer’s Letter of the Week was great fun, but we’ve been there, done that. This summer we’re a tad more ambitious: a Children’s Catechism.
After our morning walk, we sat slurping “possipickles.” The conversation went like this:
Mom: “Isaac! I thought of something we could do. We could learn about God with some questions and answers. It’s called a catechism.”
Boy: “Mommy! Cats live in the animal hospital with their Mommies and Daddies until we’re ready to go get them.” :kitty
Okay. . . . So that didn’t work. So we just jumped in with the answer to “Who made me? God.”
We started with a roll of blank newspaper where we traced around the real Isaac and Gavin in order to color a Flat Isaac and Gavin. Note the very serious expression:
Gavin colored too, but he mostly colored the real Gavin:
And while cutting and coloring we wondered about the differences between the paper Isaac and “God’s Isaac.” Paper Isaac rips and you can fold him up and put him in a book. God’s Isaac loves PB&J and can walk around. Paper Isaac is all one color and his hands don’t look right. God’s Isaac has brown hair and was made just right.

Ooooh, are you going to send a flat Isaac and a flat Gavin to Scotland for a visit?
Hey, great idea! I was going to attempt a modified (simplified) version of Bible & Rhyme, but I think I’ll do this along with you instead. You’re brilliant! 🙂
