Prepare a special church bag in advance each week so that you are ready for the rush on Sunday Morning.
Sit towards the front so they can see what is going on.
Read during the Bible readings,
Pray during the prayers,
Colour, Draw or Craft during the sermon.
Craft or drawing or play are for spiritual responses not for a perfectionist piece that can be shown off.
Remember that little ones will need their own space to move and wiggle,
You have bought your child to worship. Enjoy engaging them in it.

READ: The Jesus Story Book Bible p.144 stopping at the start of the 2nd last paragraph.
DRAW: Things you can do to help others.

The only thing you find small (open up your hand as if holding something very tiny)
Is our understanding of you. (Fling your arms wide open)
Amen.
