PreHistory from a Christian Perspective

This is about a 6 week look at prehistory from a Christian perspective.   Not all books or sources are Christian. Secular sources don't prevent me from looking at it from a Christian perspective though. We did history twice a week for about 40 minutes each time. 

Day 1 Adam and eve kicked out of garden

Read story of Adam in Eve in Read-N-Grow Picture Bible: A 1,872-Picture Adventure from Creation to Revelation

Make a peppermint patty Adam and Eve. Cover them with chocolate to demonstrate spiritual death.
