AUGUST
2015
MORNING TIME
As you wake your preschooler every
day throughout this month, kiss
their cheeks and their nose and tell
them how thankful you are that God made them
and that God loves them.
CAR TIME
Your child has been learning three
very important basic truths this
month: God made me, God loves
me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Each
time you get into the car this month, encourage
your child to look in the rearview mirror before
getting into her seat and say, “God made me!”
Each time you buckle your child into her seat ask
her, “Who loves you?” and encourage her to say,
“God loves me!” And each time you help your
child hop down out of the car, say together, “Jesus
wants to be my friend forever!”
BATH TIME
Bath crayons are super fun. Use
some this week so your child can
practice drawing hearts. When your
child draws three hearts, count them together and
say, “One, two three! God loves me!”

CUDDLE TIME
Cuddle up with your child and pray:
“Dear God, thank You for another
awesome day with (name of child). I
love spending time with her. We’ve been talking a
lot about how Jesus wants to be our friend forever.
Thank You so much for sending Jesus to be our
friend. He’s the best! We love You, God. In Jesus
name, amen.”
PLAY TIME
Have you ever gone outside and
given a child sidewalk chalk and a
spray bottle filled with water? Oh,
the things they can make! Try this sometime this
week. Let your child create and discover. (One of
my favorites is chalk scribble + water + little hands
= precious handprints) Your sidewalk or driveway
will be a work of art until the next rain shower
comes. As your child lets his imagination run wild,
talk about how God made us, God loves us, and
Jesus wants to be our friend forever!
