📘 BIBLE THEME:
Enjoying life and being thankful for God’s blessings
📖 BIBLE VERSE (Toddler Version):
“God gives us all things to enjoy.” – 1 Timothy 6:17 (simplified)
🗣️ MAIN POINT TO REPEAT WITH KIDS:
“God gives me good things!”
📖 TODDLER-FRIENDLY STORY:
Pauly the Bunny and Ozzy the Possum were ready for Easter fun.
“Let’s dye some eggs!” Pauly shouted.
They set out cups of red, yellow, blue, and green.
They dipped. They dunked. They swirled.
But then… Pauly’s paw slipped.
SPLASH!
Green dye went flying. Onto Ozzy’s nose!
“AHH! I’m polka-dotted!” Ozzy squeaked.
Then Ozzy bumped the red cup.
PLOP! Right on Pauly’s belly!
Before they knew it, the eggs were barely touched —
But the bunny and possum looked like walking Easter decorations!
They both stared… then burst into giggles.
Pauly laughed, “We didn’t just dye the eggs… THE EGGS DYED BACK!”
Ozzy rolled on the grass. “This is the best Easter EVER!”
Mama Bunny came out and smiled,
“Sometimes things get messy — but joy is a gift from God.”
They didn’t color every egg —
But they colored the day with laughter and love.
The End.
