🎃👓 Story: Bobby the Pumpkin and His Glasses (long version)

Once upon a time in a bright, happy pumpkin patch, there lived a little pumpkin named Bobby.
Bobby was round, orange, and had the biggest smile. But Bobby also had something that made him different—he wore a pair of shiny blue glasses. 👓

Bobby loved his glasses because they helped him see the chalkboard at school and the letters in his favorite Bible storybook. But sometimes, Bobby felt a little shy about them.

One morning, Bobby rolled into pumpkin school. All the other pumpkins were laughing and playing. Some of them pointed and said, “Wow! Bobby has glasses!”

Bobby blushed. He wanted to hide under a leaf. “Maybe I look too different,” he thought.

At story time, Bobby’s teacher, Miss Maple, opened the Bible. She read:
“I praise You because I am wonderfully made.” – Psalm 139:14

Miss Maple smiled at Bobby and said, “That means God made each one of us special—including you, Bobby. Your glasses help you see all the wonderful things God made. You don’t need to feel ashamed. God loves you just the same as every pumpkin here!”

Bobby’s heart felt warm.
“Really?” he asked.
“Really,” said Miss Maple. “God made you just right.”

That afternoon, Bobby played tag with the other pumpkins. He could see every laugh, every smile, and even every wiggly worm in the dirt—because his glasses helped him!

Bobby giggled and thought,
“My glasses don’t make me less. They make me Bobby—and God loves Bobby just the way I am.”

That night, under the twinkling stars, Bobby whispered a prayer:
“Thank You, God, for making me me. Thank You for loving me just the same as everyone else.”

And Bobby the Pumpkin drifted off to sleep with a big, happy smile on his face. 🌙✨

🌟 Main Point for Preschoolers:

👉 “God loves me just the way I am!”

📚 Toddler Story: Bobby the Pumpkin and His Glasses (shorter version)

Bobby the Pumpkin was bright, round, and cheerful. He wore shiny blue glasses to help him see.

One day at pumpkin school, the other pumpkins laughed and said, “Look, Bobby wears glasses!”

Bobby felt shy. He thought, “Maybe I’m too different.”

Then Miss Maple, the teacher, read from the Bible:
“I am wonderfully made.”

She smiled at Bobby and said, “God made you special. Your glasses help you see His wonderful world. God loves you just the same as every pumpkin here!”

Bobby’s heart felt warm. He played with his friends, saw clearly with his glasses, and whispered a prayer at bedtime:
“Thank You, God, for loving me just the way I am.”

📚 Story Time

Use a large pumpkin prop or picture of a pumpkin with glasses while telling Bobby’s story.
For nonverbal kids: provide picture cards of “pumpkin,” “glasses,” “Bible,” and “God” so they can point when mentioned.
Pass around toy glasses, pipe cleaner glasses, or even sunglasses so kids can touch and connect to Bobby’s special difference.

A helper can hold the mirror for kids while they point to features (eyes, smile, hair).

Kids who need calm can simply look into the mirror and listen to the phrase repeated: 👉 “God loves me just the way I am.”
