Question about Little Hands to Heaven

Post by Obiesmama » Wed Mar 23, 2016 8:05 am

Hi! We are thinking about using Little Hands to Heaven with our little boy starting this fall (he will be 2 1/2). I'm wondering if he will be too young for it? Also if we start that this year then is there a different curriculum for next year? Or would we repeat it again? Thanks so much!

Parts of LHTH will be perfectly fine at that age. But some things might be too hard in terms of fine motor skills mostly. So you just have to be flexible at that age. The Bible story, devotional, and finger play are things you can definitely do. The number, color, and Count on Me pages will probably be difficult. The rest of the activities he can probably dip, but he might not want to do them. So follow his lead on those.
Then, you can repeat it when he is 3 or 4 with everything. The lessons are things that aren't drudgery to repeat at all.

We started LHTH with our last son when he was 2 1/2 years old and had a blast! Here are some pics of our happy memories together - whew - that seems like just yesterday and forever ago all wrapped into one!

I hope you and your little one enjoy it as much we did!
