I feel coloring and doing hands on things will help a toddler learn faster and make it fun and entertaining. The problem I ran into, was that Grace wanted to skip the praying and worship and praise time and go straight to painting. Its nice she is eager to learn, but first and foremost, its important to teach our kiddies how to cultivate a life of prayer and intimacy with Jesus. So with that said here is Tip number 1: Always begin with prayer and worship..even if it means your toddler gets upset, show them and teach them that prayer and worship come first. Grace is back to wanting to dance and pray before we paint. ;)
Another thing that I loved having was a toddler bible. Grace loves her toddler bible, it has pictures and bright colors. Tip number 2: Have a toddler bible. Its great to show your little ones what it is your are talking about. The last set of pictures below shows how sweet it is to have one. ;) Here are some cool things Grace and I have worked on...I hope you feel inspired and motivated! Please share with me all that you do during devotional time with your toddler!
These are some painting we did while going through Creation and the Story of Noah!
