Disciples

Recently the boys have learned about the Disciples. They learned their names and even a song about them to the tune of Jesus Loves Me.

Jesus called them one by one,

Peter, Andrew, James and John

Next Came Phillip, Thomas too

Matthew and Bartholomew

Yes, Jesus Called them,

Yes, Jesus called them,

Yes, Jesus called them,

He called them one by one.

James, the one they called the less,

Simon also Thadaeus

Twelfth apostle Judas made

Jesus was by him betrayed.

Yes, Jesus called them,

Yes, Jesus called them,

Yes, Jesus called them,

He called them one by one.

So I recently found, at CBD, the boat with all 12 disciples, Jesus and even Matthias (the one who replaced Judas). I bought it for the kids for Valentine's Day. Actually I bought it before Valentine's but I needed a reason to spend $20 - so they got it for Valentine's Day.

They have loved playing with it and it has been a great teaching tool. Even Eli knows the song and the Disciples. Each little figure has the name on the back, so they role play a lot with them.

It was a great purchase that I'm sure will bring fun play for years to come!
