Workers with preschoolers and children have to be prepared or chaos will soon occur. Children must be kept busy and on the topic at hand or they will become distracted and learning will not take place. The resources shown will help the worker in this area supplement the materials provided by the church. They shouldn't be used in place of those materials but they should enhance them

Check out the Children's Corner page on our site. Many crafts, games, and activities can be found there. This page can be very helpful if you are a leader in children's church. We suggest you visit a LifeWay bookstore to find resources not mentioned in our listing. The resources and links shown below are not exhaustive but should help you supplement your ideas and plans.

We have also listed some resources for family devotions. Children will benefit from the support received at home because that should be the primary learning environment. You can share these ideas with parents and even have a training event that suggests the best way to use them.
