Reading the Lesson Bag labels

Supplies are organized into bags according to the text’s lesson numbers. Supplies for lesson one are contained in bag one, etc. Because many items are used for more than one activity, each label not only identifies the items in the bag, but also directs you to the location of additional items that you will need. By replacing each reusable item to its original lesson bag, the labels will direct you through the kit with ease. The labels also reveal the items that you need to provide.

You will find that many activities require not only time and organization, but also require items that you will need to provide. Once you have everything ready to go, your study through this text should be a rewarding, informative, and enjoyable way of learning many new things about our Creator and the Flying Creatures He has made.

Within these introduction pages you’ll find a quick reference list for the exact supplies in each lesson bag. This list has omitted the directives for finding additional supplies and lists only what is actually contained in the bag.

This Quick Reference list is followed by a 'You Provide' list of supplies that you will need to provide. These lists are organized by lesson number.
