Joseph helped save enough food for everyone to eat. God had a 
plan for Joseph and for you, too.

Walk This Way








What you will need: Tape


Use the tape to outline an obstacle course.



Try jumping in and out or hopping on one foot across the obstacles.





Talk with your child about how God always has a plan for 
our path, just like he had a plan when Joseph 
went to Egypt.

Praying Hands

Trace and cut out your preschooler’s hand on the construction paper.

wants to pray for so that you can remember each and every day.


Remind your preschooler that he can pray and God
will help him and his friends and family be brave!
