Teach Preschoolers to Pray!

The Pumpkin Prayer Challenge Preschool Curriculum helps little ones (ages 3-5) learn that they can talk to Jesus anytime! Over four weeks, preschoolers will discover that prayer is like planting a special seed that grows when we talk to Jesus every day. Through simple Bible stories and fun activities, children will learn that Jesus loves to hear from them and is always listening.

Main Idea: Jesus loves when I talk to Him!

Memory Verse: Philippians 4:6 NiRV

Don’t worry about anything. No matter what happens, tell God about everything. Ask and pray, and give thanks to him.
