Going into this new year, we are choosing to focus on prayer. Praying with Littles may sound like kind of a bland task, filled with simple, recited poem prayers. But it doesn’t have to be. Just as our own prayer lives can be exciting, so can our littles! And can I dare say, prayer can even be fun? Below I have compiled a list of my favorite prayer activities for families to do together with toddlers and preschoolers.
