Glad Heart Series for Ages 1-2 Quarter 1: Who Is God?

$25.00

The Glad Heart Series for ages 1-2 employs visual and tactile materials and songs set to familiar tunes to capture the attention of young children and teach them God’s Word.  The same material is presented each week for 13 weeks, as very young children need repetition and review to master new vocabulary words and ideas.  Craft templates and instructions are provided for creating a unique craft each week, which reinforces the objectives of the lesson.

 

Quarter 1: Who is God? introduces children to God the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit through the seven days of creation from Genesis 1 and 2.  Because the lesson teaches on objects the children see in their everyday environment (such as the sky, sun, moon, stars, animals, water, etc.), the children will identify with the content and apply the lesson personally.  Children will gain understanding that God is good, there is purpose in His creation, and they are valuable to Him.
