Toddlers like to be active. Keeping them busy and out of trouble can be a full-time job. Both parents and teachers who wish to teach toddlers Biblical values can quickly run out of ideas. However, both parents and Sunday school teachers can find any number of Bible lessons and crafts online they can download that will engage the toddler or toddlers in their charge.
Sunday School Curriculum
You can find Sunday school curriculum online that is geared for all ages, including toddlers. Some sites offer totally free downloads of all curriculum. Others offer a sampling of their material.

You can use the minibooks to tell key Bible stories or principles. Bible Story Printables also offers games and other visuals to assist a parent or teacher with Bible lessons.
