I had a couple questions about the song so my son helped me create this short video. Please excuse the singing–lol! See what I do for you all? 😉
I used a film cannister for the dark page, tomato sauce can, reg. soup can, large pork & bean can and then a big chicken broth can. I cut the paper to size and then ran it through my Xyron, which adds adhesive to the back of paper making it a sticker. I did find that burnishing the paper to the can helped the adhesive stick better (you can use a stylus or the back of a spoon to burnish the paper). If you don’t have a Xyron, spray adhesive will work. Make sure you file any sharp points on the inside of the can so that no one cuts themselves.
Once done you can use more than one way:
–Tell the Wordless Book Story
–Sort objects according to color
–Practice arranging from smallest to largest and vice-versa, using the correct terminology (big, bigger, biggest etc.)
For more information on the Wordless book, check out my recent Wordless Book article.
I also created two more printables that could be used with the Wordless Book:
Jesus color-by-number
Jesus coloring page (for younger kids)
oh this is wonderful love your page and love the cans too . . Press ON for Jesus Missi <><

Do you have the words written out that you recited with the nesting cans?

Yes, Yes, Yes, your song, along with the cans makes the whole song have a great song and visual. Grand idea. Love it when ideas are shared. We appreciate you Amy for helping all of us by providing all the information that we have to choose from to make our Good News Club fun and learning.

I could not access the lyrics or tune of the song for the wordless book nesting cans. Could you please share that with me? Thanks
