— Genesis 1:27 (WEB)This verse shows us that God made each person special and in His image, which means we are precious to Him
Welcome your little one to today's BibleMouse lesson! Start by looking in the mirror together and making silly faces. Say, 'Look who God made! He made YOU!' Give lots of hugs and smiles.
This week in our BibleMouse curriculum, we've been learning about how God made people! Today we're going to remember all the wonderful things we learned. God made you so special! He made your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your mouth to smile, and your hands to hug. The Bible tells us that God made people in His image - that means you are extra special to Him!
Create a simple 'I'm Special to God' book by folding paper in half. Help your child draw or color pictures of themselves, their family, and things that make them special while reviewing the week's lessons.
Simpler: Just use one page and let child scribble while you narrate about how special they are
Challenge: Add more pages with things they're thankful for or can do with their special bodies God gave them
Hold your child close and remind them how special they are. Look through their book together and celebrate each page. End with a big hug!
Thank you, God, for making [child's name] so special! Thank you for loving us so much. Amen!
Coming up: Tomorrow we'll learn about the beautiful garden home God made for the first people!
“God made everything!”
— Genesis 1:1 (WEB)🎯 Activity: Play 'God Made It!' pointing game - point to different things around the room (yourself, family photos, toys) and say together 'God made everything!' with big happy voices
This review lesson helps solidify the foundational truth that children are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. At this age, children are developing their sense of self, and knowing they are loved and special to God builds healthy identity.
Some children may have short attention spans today - that's normal! Keep it light and playful.
Child responds positively when you say they're special, attempts to say 'God made me,' shows joy during the activities
