No, you won't find a verse that says haste makes waste, but you will find the principles of hard work, patience, and doing your best in the Bible. First I had them make a tower as tall and strong as they could in 30 seconds. They got frustrated real quick as I counted down, especially Ben. He practically begged for another chance so that he could do the tower like he invisioned. We looked at the final product and measured their height.
Then I gave them as much time as they needed. Both built larger towers and talked about how much less frustrating it was. We talked about how haste makes waste (and defined both haste and waste - Caleb thought I was talking about his mid-section!). They understood though as we talked about some examples of racing through deskwork at school or brushing our teeth at home.
