A heartwarming toddler Bible story about a kind bunny who bakes cupcakes to help a skunk family — teaching that God wants us to give and help others. This sweet lesson includes a story, craft, snack, song, activity, and more — perfect for Sunday School, preschool, and homeschool.
📘 BIBLE THEME:
God wants us to help others.
📖 BIBLE VERSE (Toddler Version):
“Be kind and help others.” – Ephesians 4:32 (simplified)
🗣️ MAIN POINT TO REPEAT WITH KIDS:
“I can help others!”
📖 TODDLER-FRIENDLY STORY:
Baxter the Bunny loved baking.
His favorite treat? Carrot cupcakes with sweet cream frosting!
One day, Baxter heard sad news.
A family of skunks — the Whiffle family — had lost their home.
They had no blankets, no food… and no cupcakes either.
Baxter felt a tug in his heart.
“I want to help,” he said. “God wants me to be kind!”
So he got out his whisk, flour, carrots, and love…
And he baked and baked and BAKED!
He set up a tiny stand with a sign:
“Cupcakes for a Cause — Help the Skunks!”
The meadow animals came from everywhere!
They bought cupcakes. They gave hugs.
And soon, Baxter had enough money to buy food and blankets for the skunks.
When he gave them the surprise, the Whiffle family cried happy tears.
“You’re a hero!” they said.
“No,” said Baxter with a smile,
“God just gave me a heart that loves to help.”
The End.

Dear God,
Thank You for cupcakes.
