Lesson Title:

"Bloom Where God Plants You"

Bible Theme:

God helps us grow in love, kindness, and faith—just like flowers bloom when they are planted in the right place.

Bible Verse (Toddler Version):

"Grow strong in God’s love." — Colossians 2:7 (Toddler-friendly paraphrase)

("Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving." KJV)

Main Point to Repeat with Kids:

"God helps me grow!"

Story: "Lily the Little Flower" (Toddler Version)

Lily was a tiny seed buried deep in the soil. She wanted to grow big and strong like the other flowers around her.

One day, Lily said, "I wish I could be as tall as the sunflowers!" But the sunflowers told her, "Just be patient! God is helping you grow."

Lily stretched her little leaves toward the warm sunshine and felt the gentle rain help her roots grow deep.

As the days went by, Lily grew taller and stronger. Soon, she bloomed into a beautiful flower, just as God planned.

She realized that God had planted her in the perfect place, and He helped her grow at just the right time.

Just like Lily, God helps us grow in love, kindness, and faith—when we trust Him and bloom where He plants us!

Activity: "Grow, Grow, Bloom!"

How to Play:

Have kids start curled up like tiny seeds on the ground.
Say, "The sun is shining!"—kids stretch their arms up.
Say, "The rain is falling!"—kids wiggle their fingers like raindrops.
Say, "The wind is blowing!"—kids sway side to side.
Say, "You’re growing, growing… BLOOM!"—kids jump up and spread their arms wide like a flower!
Repeat as many times as they enjoy!
