Jesus Preschool Lesson Links

I created a lesson plan for a year for our Wednesday night 3 year old class. This post has the links so you can find each lesson. This is the last quarter which is about Jesus. I like to go through the Bible beginning with Genesis and we will end with Jesus Returning to heaven. There will be three  quarters of the Old Testament and the last quarter will be about Jesus.

Parable of the Lost Sheep & Lost Coin

This is such a fun lesson! I love watching the kids enjoy learning the Bible and they love this one! I like teaching most of the parables, but The Prodigal Son and this one seems to be favorites! There are sheep and coin printables that are scriptures that you can hide or shuffle for the kids to put in order.

Parable of the Rich Fool, the Hidden Treasure & the Pearl of Great Price

This week's lesson are three parables from Jesus. These are the visuals I set up. The barn is a bird house I found at a craft store and painted. I found the grain stalks during the fall and added some Fisher Price fencing and more bales of grain. The Pearl of Great Price is a basket with larger (8 mm) pearl beads. The treasure is a wood box that I found at Hobby Lobby. I just used brown fabric  (or felt or actual dirt). I let the students have a treasure chest, added a pearl bead and a grain stalk. Then, add stickers of Jesus, the Bible, Heaven and discuss what real treasure is.
