This Week In Safari Babies :: God gave us Jesus.

We’re Learning… God gave us Jesus.
Bible Story: Baby Jesus Is Born ● Luke 2:1-7

Merry Christmas! In eKidz, we’re celebrating Jesus’ birthday by learning the story of the time Jesus was born. To celebrate as a family, read and discuss the Christmas story together.

As a family, read “Baby Jesus is Born” — Luke 2:1-7 from a children’s Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, complete the activity together:

Parade Activity:

  • Say, “Let’s have a parade to celebrate God gave us Jesus!”
  • Lead your toddler in a parade around the room while saying, “God gave us Jesus!” Occasionally switch it up and lead your toddler in singing happy birthday to Jesus. 
  • As you continue the parade, switch it up and encourage your toddler to do the following:
    • Hop
    • Crawl
    • Twirl
    • Take big steps
    • Take little steps
    • March slowly
    • March quickly
  • After the activity, say, “Great job! Who gave us Jesus?” Encourage your toddler to say, “God gave us Jesus!” 

📚ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY 📚

In addition to reading stories from the Bible each Sunday, we also read a book together that reinforces what we’re learning. This month, we’re reading “Good News! It’s Christmas!” If you’re looking for a faith-based book to add to your child’s library at home, you can learn more about this month’s book HERE!
