Jesus visits people’s homes story series. These stories can be used at toddler groups. I really enjoyed telling these stories to young children. There is something familiar about the setting of the domestic home that children can easily relate to and understand – a good place to start when telling Bible stories to very young children.
Here you’ll find six different stories to tell all about homes that Jesus visited and the people who lived in them. Click on the links for the story ideas.
