I have been trying to find some new and interesting ways to get my 8 year old involved in reading and studying the bible. Tonight, I began a new type of lesson plan based around the Little Mermaid. I have added a template for you to copy and print at your leisure. E's answers to some of the questions were somewhat surprising. I was also proud of how she knew her bible stories. The story she related the Little Mermaid to was Joseph and the coat of many colors. I wasn't really sure how that related but listening to how she explained it made so much sense. She discussed how Joseph's brothers were jealous of him because they knew that he was the favorite son and would one day be more powerful so they sold him as a slave, just like Ursula was jealous of Ariel and how beautiful her voice was and so like Joseph's brothers taking his coat, Ursula took Ariel's voice. I was amazed by how my little 8 year old's mind was able to link that. I plan to do more bible lessons each night with all of her favorite Disney characters, so stay tuned. Comment if you liked this post, I would also love to hear suggestions for Disney characters. I will do my best to link them somehow to a bible plan.
