What We Are Learning In Preschool :: August Week One

Main point: God made me.
Bible story: God Made Me ● Genesis 1:27; Psalms 139:13-14

As a family, read “God Made Me” (Genesis 1:27, Psalms 139:13-14) from the Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, discuss these questions together:

• What happened in the Bible story? (We learned God made us — He made every part of us.)

• God created us all, and He made us wonderfully. Did God make YOU wonderful? (yes)

This week, engage in everyday moments to continue the conversation: 

• Morning Time: When you go into your child’s room, say, “Good morning! I see someone God made… and it’s YOU! (Cuddle child.) Do you know how God made you is amazing and wonderful? It’s true! (Child’s name) is wonderfully made by God.”

• Cuddle Time: Cuddle with your child and pray, “God, thank You for making (child’s name). Thank You for the way You made their (name different parts of the body). When I look at (child’s name), I see someone amazing and wonderful, because I know You made them.”

• Bath Time: Add a muffin tin and bath foam to bath time. Encourage your child to pretend they are making muffins by filling the tin cups with bath foam. As your child plays, say: “Making things is fun! I think God had fun making people. God made ALL people, and they are all amazing and wonderful!”

• Drive Time: While on the go, take turns calling out parts of the body for the other person to point to on their own body. For example: You call out “elbow” and your child points to their elbow. When you’re done, talk about how God made our amazing and wonderful bodies!
