📖 Toddler-Friendly Bible Verses

Introducing Scripture to toddlers doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it’s most powerful when it’s simple and consistent. Young children may not understand every word yet, but they can begin to recognize God’s love and truth through short, easy-to-remember verses.

As an occupational therapist and mom, I know toddlers thrive on repetition, rhythm, and visual cues.

Here are a few tips when choosing verses for little ones:

    •    Keep it simple.
    •    Use pictures to connect the word to the meaning. They may not be a perfect match but here's a great opportunity to explain the meaning of the words/verse as a whole.
    •    Repeat it daily, like at mealtimes, bedtime, or potty training time.
