Starting the Day with Blessings
Imagine waking up to sunshine and scripture; it’s not just rejuvenating for you but a fantastic start for your pre-schooler too. Kicking off the day with a simple verse can set a positive tone. Picture this: your little one, still in pajamas, eyes wide with curiosity as you share a scripture about God’s love over breakfast. It’s moments like these where pancakes and Psalms become the best combo since peanut butter met jelly. And when those tiny, syrup-smeared hands fold in prayer, it’s picture-perfect.
Storytime with a Spiritual Twist
Who said storytime couldn’t have a spiritual twist? Trade in traditional fairy tales for Bible stories that pack morals, miracles, and messages of love. Visualize your child, enthralled by the adventures of David or the wisdom of Solomon, their imagination running wild in the realms of Red Seas and giant whales. It’s an interactive bible study minus the study. And when you bring out the ‘David vs. Goliath’ action figures, you’ll have created memories that stick tighter than craft glue on a Sunday school project.
Music and Movement: Praise with Little Feet
Let’s turn the volume up on worship with some music and movement! It’s about finding joy in the Lord with every jump, twirl, and tiptoe. Imagine your living room turned into a dance floor for God’s littlest fans, where every giggle and wiggle is a praise offering. Picture your toddler, microphone in hand (aka a hairbrush), belting out ‘Jesus Loves Me’ with the sincerity of a cherub choir. This section strikes a chord, not just with melodies but with the soulful message that faith can be fun and full of life.
Crafting with a Purpose
Crafting isn’t just about glitter and glue; it’s about building faith foundations. Envision tiny hands at work, creating Noah’s ark from popsicle sticks or Moses in his basket floating down a blue-painted river of construction paper. It’s these hands-on activities that reinforce the stories and values you’re teaching, making the lessons of faith tangible.
Plus, there’s the added bonus of fridge-worthy masterpieces that speak volumes of a child’s growing love for Scripture. It’s mess meets message in the most beautiful way.
Discover the Joy of Crafting

Crafting with purpose elevates the experience from mere art projects to meaningful expressions of faith and love.
Mealtime Blessings: Nourishing Body and Soul
Mealtime is more than just feeding the body; it’s an opportunity to nourish the soul. Picture your family table, a place where breaking bread intertwines with breaking open biblical truths. From grace before meals to discussions about Jesus feeding the 5,000, it’s a feast for the spirit. And when your pre-schooler asks to say grace, it’s enough to make a grown Christian cry into their casserole. These are the moments where faith is fed in spoonfuls, and every bite is blessed.
This blog celebrates the significance of mealtime as a spiritual practice, where nourishing the body is intertwined with feeding the soul.
Nighttime Narratives: Ending the Day with Scripture
Ending the day enveloped in scripture helps ensure your little one’s dreams are as sweet as the bedtime stories you share. Picture the bedtime routine: teeth brushed, pajamas on, and a bible story that sends them off to sleep with visions of angels and heroes of faith. It’s a nightly ritual that wraps the day with a bow of blessings. And when they ask for ‘just one more story’, it’s hard not to cave, because who doesn’t want another dose of divine adventures before dreams take over?
