It’s important that our kids learn about Jesus, the Bible, and the gospel.
Bedtime is the perfect time to present our kids with truth they can fall asleep with. In just a few minutes a day, you can teach your kids theology with this great resource that provides you with more than a year of devotions for your family.
Theology for Children
My 1st Books and More by Carine Mackenzie and Philip Ross (CF4K, 2016) is an excellent resource; it’s a year of theology for kids, easily used in small chunks at family worship, morning devotions, or bedtime.
The 262-page book is divided into nine topical sections, with 371 short daily sections and a weekly question, answer, and memory verse section. It’s the perfect way to introduce your kids (from preschool through elementary–or even middle school) to biblical theology. Each daily section addresses an aspect of the topic being addressed.
The sections include a verse or short passage in ESV, NIV, NKJV, or KJV, and a short explanation of the concept in language that is both understandable and relevant to children. You are encouraged to look up the verse in the Bible version of your choice and read the accompanying passage as time allows.
About every seven sections (so once a week), there is a short Question, Answer and Memory section with two or three questions and a verse. The idea is that this section be memorized. You can work on memorization daily as you work through the section. The back of the book has several pages of bible drawings you can copy and color in as kids memorize successfully.

Teach Kids About Life in the Womb
Wonderfully Made is a science- and Scripture-filled picture book for kids ages 5-11. The book is told from the perspective of a mother telling her child about his or her development in the womb week-by-week. In fact, Wonderfully Made is written to help parents meet the theological, scientific, and relational purposes of teaching kids about life in the womb.
Introduce young children to the wonder of God’s creation – the wonder and miracle of birth. From conception in the womb through the nine months within the mother’s womb Danika Cooley takes us on a journey of discovery… the discovery of life.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” Psalm 139:13
