Preschoolers learned that they can live like Jesus. In our Bible story, Jesus taught about wise and foolish builders. Jesus’ words help people be strong and live like Him, even when things are hard. God has a plan for us to have a friendship with Him. Play a game of follow-the-leader with your preschoolers. Talk to them about how in the game, they will do what the leader does. Remind your preschoolers that we can follow our leader, Jesus, and live like Him.
1-2-3!
Take 1 day this week to highlight these 2 things and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Show your preschooler a color-by-number page or a picture of a color-by-number activity. Ask your preschooler, “When you want to color in a color-by-number page, how do you know what color to put where?” Share that with color-by-number pictures, you can follow the directions to make it look like the picture. In a similar way, we can follow our leader, Jesus, to learn to live like Him.
Friday Family Fun!
Experiment with wooden blocks by building a house. Challenge your child to build a house out of blocks on cushions or pillows, then move the pillows and see if the house falls. Then challenge your child to build a house out of blocks on the couch or a soft chair, and see if, when you sit down next to it, it falls or stays up. Finally, challenge your child to build a house out of blocks on wooden floors or a hard surface. Walk around the house and see if it falls down. Like the house built on the rock in our Bible story, the house on the floor is the one that stands strong. We can stay strong and live like Jesus when hard things come.
