I love Adam, he loves me. We love Eve, yes, sirrie.

Attention Story: Show your child a picture of you and your spouse. Ask, "Who is this person?" when you point to you and your spouse. Show them a picture of Adam and Eve. (I like picture ____ from the Gospel Art Kit where you can Adam and Eve with their children.)

The Three Little Pigs Built Their House Upon a Rock

Song: The Wise Man and the Foolish Man, Children's Songbook, pg. 281

Attention Story
: The Three Little Pigs
Depending on how familiar your child is with this story, you could just tell a short summary, or read a book of the story, or make a puppet show of the story and act it out together.
Be sure to emphasize that the strong bricks are like rocks and the wolf's wind couldn't blow the strong house down.

Scripture: Helaman 5:12 "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

With my child, we just read the first part and talked about Jesus Christ being like a rock because He's stronger than anybody.

Activity: Building our own houses out of wooded blocks or Duplos. (You may want to make the dessert first and play with blocks while the Piggies cook and cool off.)
