Family Activity: Jesus and Me

WHAT YOU NEED: paper, crayons or markers

WHAT YOU DO: 

• Before the Activity: Draw a big heart on the piece of paper and give it to your child. 
• After the Activity: Encourage your child to draw a picture of themselves inside the heart on their page. Then talk about how much Jesus loves them.

WHAT YOU SAY: 

• During the Activity: “In today’s Bible story, we learned that Jesus loves all children and He wants children to come to Him. That means Jesus wants children to talk to Him, read about Him in the Bible, follow Him, and be His friend forever! I want you to draw a picture of YOU inside the heart on your page because Jesus loves YOU!”
• After the Activity: “Great job! Who loves you?” (Jesus loves me.)
