‘Pom Pom Learns To Forgive’ A Fun Writing And Drawing Activity (6 years +) - Activity Pack

In the activity pack "Pom Pom Learns To Forgive," children aged six and above are invited to engage in a fun writing and drawing activity that combines creativity with learning about forgiveness. The pack follows the adventures of Pom Pom, a dog who appreciates the beauty of nature and the creations of God while exploring the outdoors with a new canine companion. Their journey takes them down an overgrown path amidst grasses and wildflowers, through a wild wood with tree stumps and brambles, and into an open heathland adorned with purple flowers. Children are encouraged to expand their knowledge of flora and fauna by naming additional wildflowers and trees, unscrambling letters to identify birds, and drawing the common with all its inhabitants, including Pom Pom and her spotty friend.

The story of Pom Pom also delves into themes of friendship and reconciliation. Despite an initial reluctance, Pom Pom befriends a previously naughty dog, and they regularly meet during walks with their owners. However, an unfortunate incident occurs when Pom Pom is bitten by another dog, leading to a visit to the vet and a bandaged injury. Through dialogue between Pom Pom and her new friend, children learn about the incident and are prompted to complete the dialogue and illustrate Pom Pom's vet visit. The narrative continues with Pom Pom encountering the aggressive dog again, prompting discussions about feelings and actions when faced with someone who has caused harm. Ultimately, the story teaches the importance of forgiveness, as Pom Pom shares wisdom from biblical teachings about loving and forgiving others, even our enemies. The activity pack concludes with a drawing task featuring Susie and the children praying and a reference to the biblical story of the Prodigal Son, highlighting the power of forgiveness and redemption.
