Fitting It All Together!

Grab your child’s favorite puzzle or pick up a new one from the store. (Younger children should start with less piece puzzles.)

Look at the cover together and talk about how that is the plan for the puzzle. The people that made the puzzle gave us the picture so we would know how all the pieces fit together.

Work the puzzle matching together the pieces that fit together. Explain why and how the pieces fit together so your child can understand that you are building the picture on the box.

Continue until the puzzle is complete. Talk about how all the pieces fit together to fit the plan.

Remind them that God has a plan for their lives just like this puzzle had a plan. God will make sure all the pieces of their lives fit together for HIS plan. God’s plan is the best plan.

will help him and his friends and family be brave!
