👉 “After making your Paper Plate Flower craft, enjoy this sweet story with your kids!”
🌼 Georgie the Yellow Flower (Toddler Bible Version)
Georgie was a bright yellow flower who loved his mom very, very much.
Every day, Georgie saw all the things his mom did for him.
She made him breakfast in the morning…
Lunch in the afternoon…
And dinner at night.
She helped him when he got hurt.
She cleaned up his messes.
She took such good care of him.
One day, Georgie thought,
“My mom does so much for me. I love her so much!”
Then he had an idea.
It was Mother’s Day!
“I want to do something nice for my mom!”
So Georgie made her breakfast.
He worked very carefully.
His mom smiled so big.
That night, he made her cookies.
They weren’t perfect…
But they were made with love.
Georgie gave his mom a big hug.
“I love you, Mom!”
His mom felt so happy inside.
Georgie learned it’s important to show love and kindness.
And God loves it when we are kind to our moms.
The End.
