Through engaging story time, hands-on activities, fun videos, and more, children explore the truth of who God is through His Word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See a sample of the refreshed lessons <a href=\"https:\/\/dcc-web-1.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wonder-ink\/Early-Childhood-Sampler-2025F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, and check out a new Early Childhood Scripture motions video <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1049820307\/fe5940b4dd?ts=0&amp;share=copy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>By anchoring their identity in God\u2019s Word, let&#8217;s help children build a strong foundation of faith\u2014one that shapes how they see themselves and the world around them.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elementary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As children grow, they\u2019re constantly forming ideas about who they are\u2014and much of that is influenced by the world around them. The messages they receive can often be confusing, incomplete, or even harmful. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important for followers of Christ to consistently point them to the truth of who they are in God\u2019s big story. We have the privilege and responsibility to remind them that they are created to be known, loved, and led by Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By anchoring their identity in God\u2019s Word, we help them build a strong foundation of faith\u2014one that shapes how they see themselves and the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because God is [faithful, loving\u2014insert attribute], they are [secure, loved\u2014insert identity truth].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lessons Include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bible Stories with Videos for Elementary Children<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Memory Verses with Call-and-Response Videos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesson Resources: Games, Activities, Music, and More<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take Home Resources, including Videos for Families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Elementary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed specifically for your youngest elementary kids (K-2nd Grade), the new Early Elementary age level blends elements from both Early Childhood and Elementary to create the best lessons for this age group. Each lesson includes a craft, a game, and age-appropriate teaching that builds on early foundations while introducing new faith concepts in a way they can understand. It\u2019s a thoughtful step forward in helping kids grow deeper in their relationship with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See a sample of this new age level <a href=\"https:\/\/dcc-web-1.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wonder-ink\/Early-Elementary-Sampler-2025F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elementary &amp; Preteen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As children approach their teen years, it\u2019s essential that we intentionally invest in their spiritual growth. The Elementary lessons are designed to engage older kids (3rd\u20136th Grade), guiding them as they learn, grow, and deepen their love for Jesus. Each lesson includes activities and questions tailored specifically for Preteens, helping them connect with God in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This age level also works well and is recommended in mixed-grade settings like children&#8217;s church. If your elementary students are learning together, you can easily adapt small group time by incorporating activities and discussion questions from the Early Elementary level as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See a sample of this refreshed age level with the preteen features <a href=\"https:\/\/dcc-web-1.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wonder-ink\/Elementary-with-Preteen-Sampler-2025F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> and view a new Elementary Scripture video <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1049820324\/a448d36aea?ts=0&amp;share=copy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"6836\" class=\"elementor elementor-6836\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44db1a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44db1a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fd2177\" data-id=\"3fd2177\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2d06 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"44f2d06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xl\" href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Try for Free<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dfdb8d elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9dfdb8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-opt-id=1573953086  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlzai04amy7e.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:80\/f:best\/https:\/\/wonderink.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wonder-Ink-logo.png\"  decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"311\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6197\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0955910 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0955910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: small;\">Wonder Ink\u2019s 3-year, 52-week children\u2019s ministry curriculum offers kids space to fully find their place in God\u2019s Big Story.
