I Live in a Beautiful World

by Laurel Rohlfing

"Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, who created the heavens and the earth.." (Doctrine & Covenants 14:9)

My Five Senses

I have two ears, which let me hear.

I have a nose, to smell.

I have  tongue to taste the food

I like to eat so well.

I have some skin--it covers me

And lets me feel and touch.

I have two eyes, which let me see

The world I love so much.

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ created our beautiful world for us. The prophet Nephi wrote: "The Lord hath created the earth that it should be inhabited; and he hath created his children that they should possess it" (1 Nephi 17:36). We enjoy our world through our fives senses. We can enjoy a pretty flower by seeing it, smelling it, and touching it. We can hear the pleasant songs of birds and the thunder in a storm. We can taste vegetables and other good foods that grow in the earth. 

Instructions

Look at the pictures of things that Heavenly Father and Jesus made for us to enjoy in our beautiful world, then circle the sense that you would use to enjoy each one. When you have finished, count the number of times that you circled each sense, then color the pictures.

Obtain coloring book pictures of a bird, a flower, the rain, fruit, the sun, a cat, a butterfly, a tree, and a fish. Add each sense in a list next to each picture: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching.
