This week I like two of the suggestions under the family suggestions. I'm not sure how well the first one will go over with my toddler.
So, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 talks about an analogy of a body to discuss unity. Every body part is needed even though they're different, different roles, and different strengths. I love this analogy for unity and unity not meaning that we are supposed to be the same. We're not supposed to be the same, but we can still work together. Following the commandments and working together does not take away individuality. But for my 2 year old I don't know if he'll catch on. BUT if you have a Mr. Potato Head or some other toy with body parts that are easily removed and replaced, maybe you could show them how if you take away one body part it makes a difference. Maybe we can use a blindfold (without a toy) to show that without eyes it's hard. Or tie hands behind your back. So maybe I can find a way to show him that we're all different but we're all needed just like all our different body parts.
This next one I think we'll for sure do because my son loves to race. He isn't very competitive with it though. He usually gives my husband a head start and is usually just starting when my husband finishes... Anyways, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 talks about running a race. The scriptures say that only one receives the price, so we should run that we may obtain. But the suggestion suggests offering a crown (reward) to everyone. I think I'm going to say we're going to race. Our goal is to do our best and cross the finish line. If they did their best and crossed then they win. People cross at different times, but if we do our best and continue towards the finish line we can win an eternal reward. (And sometimes our best involves a toddler getting distracted part way and having to be reminded to keep going).
Romans 1-6 (August 5-11)
This week talks a lot about faith and then the last chapter brings up "walking in a newness of life".
One of the suggested family activities says to talk about baptism, either attend one or talk about yours or a family members. I'm not sure how much my son will understand but I think this is a great time to discuss baptism. Maybe show a picture of Jesus Christ being baptized and if I can find one from mine. Talk about how he can be baptized by going under the water with Daddy (or mention a male figure close to you who has the Priesthood) when he turns 8 to show he wants to follow Jesus Christ and be more like Him. Depending on his attention span that may be as far as it goes- we'll see.
In the Primary manual I think it suggests teaching the song "Faith". So I may sing that a few times at bedtime. Maybe we'll play hide and seek with an object and say we have faith something is there (behind a pillow) even if we can't see it.

Joseph Smith--Matthew 1; Matthew 25; Mark 12-13; Luke 21 (May 27-June 2)
This week, we're going to attempt two things.
1. Joseph Smith--Matthew 1:22, 37. The suggested activity asks you to think about what it means to treasure up the word of God? And asks How can we do this as a family? Well, we've been trying to incorporate gospel lessons with our toddler in accordance to Come Follow Me. We read scriptures when he's awake and close by, though we don't force him to sit still for it or even listen. BUT, we want to be better. So, in our bedtime routine, which already includes reading books, we're incorporating reading a chapter from a Book of Mormon reader we have. We did it last night for the first time and it did not go very well, but we did it and I'm hoping as we try to be consistent that it will get better and maybe he'll even sit or be quiet for half of it tonight. For any who are interested and don't have a physical one with pictures to read with your toddler, we're using a print version of the one in the Gospel Library app. The "videos" I've linked to before are the ones from the New Testament one. The books are also pretty cheap. I don't know if it's my favorite, but it's more complete than some others and is good with the amount of pictures to scripture. HERE'S a link to the one we have from Deseret Book for $4.30.
2. Then the parable of the 10 virgins. Matthew 25:1-13. I don't think we're going to bother with trying to explain symbolism but it's one I want my son to be familiar with. We can tell the story briefly with the picture in the Come Follow Me manual and then attach "drops" to objects that can strengthen our testimony that are around the house. We'll go on a scavenger hunt and fill a "lamp" or probably a play teapot is what we have. I don't know if he'll understand why certain things give us drops, but it'll still give me an idea of where to put them and help familiarize my son with the story so we can go into more detail next time around. Examples of items to put them on from the manual include: scriptures, church clothes or a picture of the temple. Or a picture of Jesus Christ, if you have a bank for tithing (not everyone does) or church magazines if you have some- whatever you have lying around that is gospel related.

Matthew 21-23; Mark 11; Luke 19-20; John 12 (May 20-26)
This week I liked a lot of the family suggestions, but not when I thought of my toddler. We're going to do the 3rd one or something related to it. Matthew 21:12-17. It talks about the temple and how important it is to be reverent and respectful. We're going to sing "I Love to See the Temple" at bedtime and then just talk about being reverent and respectful in general this week.

Luke 12-17; John 11 (May 6-12)
So this week is a lot of parables.
Idea 1: Three parables talk about things that are lost (Luke 15). One is a sheep that is lost and the shepherd leaves the 99 to find the one. Another is the widow who lost a coin and searched the whole house and the last is the prodigal son who is metaphorically lost (I don't know if I can get my son to grasp this last one yet). We are going to play hide and seek with finding the person (the lost sheep). And my son loves treasure, so it will be really easy to play losing the coin and searching the whole house for it. The second will be easier to incorporate the story. The first one I'll probably have to say that we're all sheep and then say one wanders off and gets lost. (Then say to my son, "Go hide and pretend to be lost so we have to come find you.) Then I can say that we miss the one and go looking for our lost sheep.
Idea 2: In Luke 17:11-19 it talks about the 10 lepers who were healed and only one said thank you. The suggestion mentions singing "Count Your Blessings" so we'll incorporate that in with our lullabies for the week, and work on saying thank you for things.
Idea 3: watch the following video about Lazarus. (also found on lds.org called "Lazarus is Raised from the Dead"
Other videos for the week: Gospel Library App, Children, New Testament Stories, Chapter 36 (kinda just an intro for the three parables so I'm probably skipping it.), The First Parable, The Second Parable, The Third Parable, 37 and 43.

Matthew 16-17, Mark 8-9, Luke 9 (April 1-14)
Matthew 16:19 (13-19) and 17:1-9. I really like the talk the manual refers you to but without pictures my kid probably won't sit through the first few paragraphs of it. But if you want to talk about priesthood keys, have your child help you unlock things and then say our Prophet has all the keys of heaven.
For me though i think I'm going to focus on "faith can move mountains" Matthew 17:20. we're going to make dirt mountains outside and take a spade and say, "this spade is like having faith in Jesus Christ. with faith we can move mountains" and then use the spade to move the "mountain". we might adapt and use mud but even if the dirt falls off the spade the fact still remains you can move the mountain.

Matthew 14-15; Mark 6-7; John 5-6 (March 25-31)
I'm sorry for any following this. Apparently my husband and I need to have a back-up plan in place and ready to go for busy Sundays. My husband's work sometimes involves Sunday performances, so one day I saw him briefly for Sacrament but other than that we were apart from 7 am til midnight.
Anyways, this week we decided the easiest thing is going to be re-enacting Jesus walking on water with Peter going out to join him during bath time (yes another bath time). My son already knows this story from my Mom who printed out a scene of water and then Jesus and Peter that you can put on a popsicle stick. If you like the popsicle stick idea better, the figures my Mom used can be found HERE. (or here if that doesn't work: https://www.lds.org/study/friend/2015/07/new-testament-scripture-figures-jesus-walks-on-water?lang=eng) I don't know where she found her lake scene that she cut a line through to pop the figures through, but my son likes playing with just her Jesus and Peter popsicle sticks.
The feeding the thousands with loaves of bread I might do on a small scale, but I don't know if my toddler will grasp the miracle of it yet. But we may break up the bread and share it for a snack.

Matthew 13; Luke 8; 13 (March 18-24)
I know this is late. I'm sorry.
This week there are a lot of parables.
Idea 1: plant a seed and talk about how you need good dirt- no rocks, sun, and water to grow. Say how when we listen to things about Jesus it is like planting a seed and praying helps it grow. (Matthew 13: 3-8; 19-23)
2: Hide a treasure and find it. Talk about how important the gospel is and how this Church and knowing about Jesus Christ is a treasure. (Matthew 13: 44-46)
I don't think there's any videos in the gospel library app this week. Not in the New Testament Stories anyways.

Matthew 8-9 and Mark 2-5 (March 4-10)
This week we're going to have some fun with bath time. we have a toy boat but even without a toy boat you can make "waves". This correlates with Mark 4:35-41 where Jesus is asleep and a storm is raging and scares the apostles and Jesus says, "Peace, be still" and calms the waters. for us, to minimize water getting all over, we're going to do this at the end of bath time and drain a little water first. then we'll splash/ make waves and our toy boat will be afraid and then I'll say "stop. peace, be still" and we can watch the waves calm down. if I'm adventurous I might tell him as we're getting him out that if he's ever scared that Jesus can be with him and help him feel peace and comfort - and all will be alright.
The first idea also said to make a list of miracles mentioned and find pictures to discuss them. I would like to get a photo album from the dollar store and put together a Sunday book of pictures of his miracles. If I remember I'll post a link or something to the pictures i find so you dont "have to" find them yourself, but the manual said to access the Gospel art book in the app or online at: https://www.lds.org/media-library/images/category/new-testament-gospel-art-book?lang=eng&_r=1

As a way of apology for last week - my son was sick, it was my birthday, my husband is a performer and was gone almost all Sunday and most of the days last week and then i got sick and our schedule was just messed up initially and we never got to it together. I didn't even do much personally... i glanced at it and saw sonething about prayer and just decided to pray more with my son last week. I'll go back and read it and do a post for any interested but that's my excuse
Matthew 5 and Luke 6 (February 18-24)
alright, this post may be a bit longer but I'll try to keep it brief. One suggestion was using Matthew 5:14-16 using light as the object lesson. talk about light and hiding light and how we are the light of the world. we're deciding not to do this one. my son has understood that Jesus is the light and I dont want to confuse him and i dont think he's quite ready to be the "example".
what we are actually going to do, to me is kinda combining the other two and going with a bigger theme that isn't directly mentioned in the suggestions. One of the activities involves praying for those that are unkind to you (Matthew 5:43-44) but this is in the scriptures saying to essentially be kind to everyone whether they're nice to you or not. The other activity says to essentially pick a beattitude from Matthew 5:1-9- we liked the idea of being a peacemaker but we dont know how to teach that yet to our son. so our goal is to teach our toddler to be aware of others. when playing with other kids - to be nice (hopefully no matter what- i know he won't be perfect yet but it's worth starting). we are also going to play sad and hurt and help teach him to be aware of others and be compassionate. being aware of others needs and comforting them or trying to help i think it's a good step towards bringing more peace, and hopefully it'll lead into being nice to everyone.

John 2-4 (February 11-17)
so this week, my husband and I discussed things but we didn't really pick one thing to do with our toddler. The first family activity says to think about how the Savior uses every day objects to teach spiritual truths, then asks what we can use to teach gospel truths. Well, some of that we've been trying to do, like Jesus Christ being like a light. But this week talks about the woman at the well and the gospel being living water. So my simplified toddler version of that concept is to drink water with my son and say something like, "Our bodies need water like our spirits need Jesus".
Another thing covered this week is how Jesus cleansed the temple and one activity asked how we can make our homes more like a temple. just for you and your spouse (or older kids) think of something you can do or change to make your home more of a refuge, a place of spiritual learning and/ or a temple. maybe you're like me and your house is a mess but you like gathering as a family at the table - so you're going to make sure it's cleared. or maybe you want to light a candle so your home smells more comforting. anything small - just think about it.
scripture videos for the week are in the gospel library under children and New testament stories, chapters 12-15
Matthew 4; Luke 4-5 (February 4-10)
Just a brief note first. Last week i had the best of intentions and plenty of things i could clean to help demonstrate the principle we wanted to teach but the cleaning one only happened once and we didn't do the keys at all. So if you don't get something in, just pick up from now and keep doing your best.
This week - there's Satan tempting the Lord. The manual tells us, "the adversary sought to plant doubt in the saviors mind. 'If though be the Son of God,' Satan said (Luke 4:3). But the savior had communed with His Father in Heaven. He knew the scriptures, and He knew who He was." And then later the manual asks, "why does Satan try to make us doubt or divine identities?" That question is a little deep for our son but it leads us to one thing we're going to do this week:
We're going to reinforce my son's divine identity by reminding him he's a child of God and singing "I Am a Child of God" at bedtime.
Then, the last section would be easy to play out. "Do we know anyone who is brokenhearted or who needs to be "set at liberty"? (Luke 4:18). How can we help others receive the Savior's healing and deliverance?" We can easily put our toy animals in a jail and we have a Jesus figurine that can set them free. Or just say that Jesus sets them free. If a toy animal gets hurt, you can have Jesus heal them. My son loves playing with his animals so this will allow us some play time together with a spiritual message included (hopefully).
Video: Gospel library, children, new testament stories, chapter 11 goes over Jesus being tempted.
Matthew 3; Mark 1; Luke 3 (January 28- February 3)
This week we aren't entirely sure. There were two family ideas that stuck out to us.
1. One said to get a dirty object and talk about repentance. My son isn't always interested in helping clean up but there are several things that need cleaning this week at my house. So even if he doesn't help I'm going to try to do cleaning in front of him (mirrors, windows, floor). I plan to point out that it's dirty, then clean it and say much better or all clean. Then I'm going to say, "when we repent we can become clean". He may not make the connection, but hopefully if i repeat it enough times he'll at least remember it for the future.
2. The first idea talked about how Jesus went to John the Baptist because he had the Aaronic Priesthood. Well we often say Priesthood keys and my son is obsessed with keys. So this week, I'll point out the right keys (the one to the car, our house, grandma's house) and say "Jesus went to John to get baptized because he had the right key to get into heaven."
Video story: gospel library, children, new testament stories chapter 10 (i think i used that last week too... but the story applies here when the reading is predominantly about his baptism)
John 1 (January 21-27)
Story videos: Gospel Library app, then Children, then New Testament stories and Chapter 10.
For this week, one of the ideas asks you to read John 1:4-10 and sharing how the Savior is the Light of their lives. Well we simplified this. We turn out the lights (right before bedtime), then we take a flashlight and shine the light and all we said is "Jesus Christ is like a light. We follow Jesus, so we have to follow the light." So we went on a field trip following the light in the house. We let him have a turn shining the flashlight and then led him to bed. My kid kept saying "Jesus Christ" and "light" so I'd say that's a success. We'll repeat again throughout the week.

Luke 2; Matthew 2 (January 14-20)
If your child will sit for a story video you can go to the Gospel Library, Children and then New Testament Stories and there's Chapter 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
For us, we were able to get through most of the story videos throughout the week and then we usually sing at bedtime, so we sang "Mary's Lullaby" first (one of the suggested songs in the family ideas). The other song suggestion was "The Nativity Song" but I don't know that one well enough.
Matthew 1; Luke 1 (January 7-13)
This week we came up with two ideas. One of the family ideas talked about family history. Well I think that's a little above my toddler's head but our dollar store has photo albums. So I bought one. We are (still) making a photo album of current family members. We're using Christmas cards and facebook pictures for parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents and great-grandparents.
Then my son is starting to get nightmares, so along with the second one that talks about people are fearful... we're not directly addressing the scriptures, but we're starting to say, "Is that scary? It's ok, Jesus is here" Our toddler version of "Fear not God is with thee".
If my son will sit, there are correlating story videos for the week in the Gospel Library App under Children and then New Testament Stories. Chapter 1, 2, 3 and 4

Come Follow Me with a Toddler
So, many people are starting Come Follow Me blogs. I subscribed to one and like her ideas, but my kid is in nursery and very active, and I thought, I'm going to share what we're doing. If you like it- great! If not, fine. :)
First off, this is how we're doing the program. After shortened church on Sunday, we let my son play or turn on a show for him. My husband and I read together the next weeks chapters and then over the family idea section. (We try to just get my son distracted with playing with something so maybe he'll overhear us reading, but we don't do anything to try to get him to sit and listen. I love reading to him and he won't even sit for that most of the time....). Then we decide together what we want to do and that's what I'm going to be sharing.
Getting behind... now if you're like me, sometimes you get behind on goals and then start feeling overwhelmed by trying to "catch up". Honestly, my husband and I, didn't even attempt to do the first week. When we went to do our first one he asked if I wanted to go back and I said, "Nope! I don't want to be behind. So we're just going to be current, whether we have done the past stuff or not." So I hope if any readers grow to be dependent on me, instead of just using this as a resource- I hope for your sake that I stay current. :)
I decided I wanted to do more with my child even though he's young and honestly I don't think he'd sit for a lesson. My Mom is his nursery leader and actively tries to do lessons in nursery. She tells me that my son is rarely sitting and focused when she teaches. Yet.... he knows about prayers mostly from praying at snack time (which they no longer are doing with shortened church, but, she was doing it....). And she made puppets for the story of Jesus walking on water and Peter sinking. When we were over at her house he found her puppets and said, "Jesus" and "Peter" and "Ahhhh!" (while kinda shaking the Peter puppet- maybe he was sinking? But he still learned their names from the lesson). So I realized I really do need to up my game, even if it is in small and simple ways. So, that's where we are. I'll back track for the weeks we have done as a family for people interested, but they will likely all be short blurbs of a few sentences- maybe a full paragraph if I'm long-winded that day.
