Here is a fun activity you can do with your preschooler using things you already have at home.
Fill the basket with the items. Sit down with your child with the basket between you. Invite your child to take turns with you picking an item out of the basket and thanking God for it.
Say, “In our Bible story today, a woman and her husband made a special room for Elisha to stay in when he came to visit. They even put a bed, desk, lamp, and chair in it! Elisha was so thankful for his room.
We can be thankful for things we have, too. Let’s take turns closing our eyes and choosing an item from the basket. When you open your eyes, say, “I can thank God for [item’s name].
“There are SO many things we can thank God for, because we can thank God for everything! Who can you thank for everything? I can thank God for everything! Again!Who can you thank for everything? I can thank God for everything!”
