We love helping you raise great kids! We are providing an online Waumba Land experience for your child each Sunday morning.
For Parents and Guardians
- You got this! Kids learn best with lots of fun activity. So have fun!
- A normal attention span is 3 to 5 minutes per year of a child’s age. A 2-year-old may be able to concentrate on a particular task for at least 5-6 minutes.
- Make time for it. Pick a consistent time during the week to have fun learning about Jesus with your kids.

“March in place like an ant! (Let them march for several seconds.) Come
to me! Great job! Head back to your spot and let’s do it again. This time,
run in place like a cheetah.” (Continue with other animals.)
“Who wanted the children to come to Him in our story today? (Pause.)
That’s right Jesus did! Jesus loves all children, and He wants them ALL to
be His friend forever. Who loves you? Jesus loves me!
