Bible or Bible storybook.
*Explain that a birthright was everything the oldest son would inherit, like land, money, a house, etc. Esau wouldn’t have had to worry about any of those things when he got older! But he was very hungry and made a bad decision.
Story Props:
Two baby dolls to be the twin baby boys, a bowl and spoon for the soup
Printables:
Coloring sheets—lots of choices here.
Add fur to Jacob's page (will need faux fur from a craft store or see the link below)
Other Activities:
Play with a toy bow/arrow like Esau
Cook and eat a stew/soup with your child
Talk about twins—the differences between identical and fraternal
Make a pretend “nature soup”. Give your child a bowl and let them add leaves, grass, flowers, water, etc., and a spoon to stir with. Be sure they know it is not for eating.
