Prayer Book Craft

"Use this simple toddler prayer craft to encourage your toddler to pray for their family and friends. Teaching our little ones to pray can begin as naturally as saying bedtime prayers with them each night. It also is something for them to see anytime you face a difficulty or want to give the Lord praise.

When I think of teaching a toddler or preschooler about prayer I always remember the story of Susannah Wesley with her hordes of little ones around her…when she needed to pray she would throw her apron over her face and pray…right there as she was working.

Our children need to know that God is there the entire time ready to commune with His people whom He loves."
