Toddlers and twos love music! The music and lyrics for the songs used in Worship are provided on pages 12 and 13. A recording of most of these songs is provided on the CD in the Resource Packet.

Bulletin Boards—

Each unit has a bulletin board idea that reinforces the unit theme. The boards are also visually appealing to toddlers and twos. Directions and illus trations for the bulletin boards are on pages 14 and 15.

Unit Introduction—

Each of the four units in the teacher guide has an introduc tion page that provides the unit theme, Bible text, Bible verse, unit objective, life application, and teacher focus for that unit.

Lesson Pages—

The unit’s lesson pages provide the lesson schedule. Use the segments in the order of your choice. For each week of a unit, you will use the same les son pages. The lesson pages pro vide a Welcome section, Worship, an Action Verse, the interactive unit Bible story, a Bible verse activ ity, a time to use the Toddlers & Twos Coloring Book, snack suggestions, crafts for each week of the unit, and Closing time idea. The Activ ity Cards in the Resource Packet are designed for use in each lesson and are a vital part of the unit. More information is given on these in the Resource Packet section.

Each unit has a Copy Master. The Copy Mas ter can be used with one or more of the unit’s crafts and/or with the unit’s bulletin board.
