Preschool Bible Learning Activity: Babies\’ Growth & Development

September 17, 2014 | Kids Ministry

vogel-150x150Connections between brain cells are called synapses. These synapses are strengthened through repeated experiences. A baby’s efforts to master a new skill (such as reaching for and grasping a toy, working a shape sorter, etc.) not only strengthens his physical muscles, but they stimulate the synaptic connections in the brain.

Each week select a few activities with babies to provide for growth and development as well as an introduction to Bible content. For example, if teaching the story of Elijah asking a woman for water, plan for babies and toddlers to:

  • Splash water While they splash, talk about Elijah’s thirst and how God took care of him.
  • Play with plastic food While the child explores these pretend foods, talk about how God gives us food.
  • Discover books Hide books under baby blankets on the floor for crawlers to discover. Include books about water, food and God’s love for us.
  • Play with pots and pans As the child begins to beat on a pan with a wooden spoon, sing “God gives us food. God gives us food. God gives us food. He’s so good to us!” to the tune of “God is So Good.”
