  • Say: 
    • Before the Activity: “Friend, come find a spot at the table. What do you see on your paper? (Pause.) Yes, hearts! Lots and lots of hearts! Hearts remind me of love!”
    • During the Activity: “I’m going to roll this die and tell you what it lands on. When I do, I want you to use a marker to color that many hearts on your page. Are you ready? Let’s roll. (Roll the die.) I rolled a [number], so color [number] hearts! Fantastic! Let’s roll again! (Continue until all or almost all of the hearts are colored in.) Look at these colorful hearts! Great job, friend. Hearts remind me of love.”
    • After the Activity: “In our Bible Story today, we’ll learn that Jesus teaches us that God loves us no matter what. (Point to the hearts on the child’s page.) He does! Come with me and let’s go hear our story.”

  • As you help your child bathe, say, "I love you when you're silly. I love you when you're sleepy. I love you when you get mad. I love you when you cry. I love you when you laugh. I love you when you feel sick. I love you when you... (continue naming all the times you love your child). I love you no matter what! Jesus teaches us that God loves you no matter what too!
