Growing & Learning in Faith

Babies and toddlers love to get messy and learn and my 2.5 yr old is no exception. I try to do one or two Sensory bins each week because – it keeps them busy for an hour or so, it promotes independent play, and it is a great way for them to learn and explore …
We are working on emotions with my 2.5 yr old toddler and this book was such a great resource to teach J the different emotions, and the expressions that go with the emotions. The book is about a monster (friendly monster), caked the Color monster who had too many emotions all jumbled up when he …

We were planning on starting to teach some bible lessons to J when he turns 2. But I had no idea where to start. There were many blogs which had activities listed for older kids, but not for a toddler J’s age. So with J turning 2 recently, I came up with some activities …

Day 6! Good created animals, man and woman. We did two part art activity on Monday and Tuesday and a Sensory activity on Thursday. Dialogue you can repeat to your toddler everyday this week: Question: Who made the animals, man(Adam) and woman(Eve)? Toddler: God. (God made the animals, man and woman – for older toddlers) …
