Touch, explore, and talk about the different types of grain.   

Joseph had a dream from God and told Pharaoh about it. Thanks to his dream, Joseph was able to help feed people with LOTS of grain. Yay, God!   

Which Is Joseph’s?

Cut the pieces of paper in half. (Unless you have very large objects to trace.)

Trace each of the objects on a piece of paper.

Lay the papers on the floor along with the objects to match.

Have your child match the objects to the correct outlines.

(Hold up the Little People figure.) Joseph trusted God’s plan even when things got hard. He knew God had a plan for him. God has a plan for you too!
