Heal My Broken Heart Activity for Little Kids
It’s that time of the month again. We’re talking about what we’ve been up to with Experience God. This month, it’s all about how God cares about our bodies and our memory verse is from Psalm 139:14.
I praise you God, I am wonderfully made.
Today’s activity couldn’t have been more perfect for preschoolers. We learned about how God heals our broken hearts.
And we used only a few basic supplies to illustrate our lesson. Talk about quick and easy, right?

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.
Keep in mind that all preschoolers do things in their own time and on their own terms. What one is ready for, another might not be. Please use your best mama judgement when planning activities for your little kids.
If you’re interested in putting together your very own Heal My Broken Heart activity, then you’re definitely going to want to keep reading.

It’s such a powerful message, don’t you think? I actually flipped to this month’s memory verse in my bible and we read the ESV version too.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
One of the things that the little guy and I have been doing this school year is looking up our memory verses in each of our bibles. He has an NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers. This same verse in his bible is slightly different still than the others.
I want him to understand that there may be subtle differences in scripture and that there are different versions of the bible, but that God’s word is exactly that.
The skills listed for this activity were Shapes 16.2 and Visual Arts 32.1. I love that even Experience God lists the domain and skills for each activity just like the preschool curriculum.
I’ve actually been wanting to incorporate Experience God into our daily routine and, even as a homeschool mama, I love knowing that Mother Goose Time has everything already figured out for me.
All that’s left for me to do is spend time with the little guy. You know, because when it’s all said and done, that’s the most important thing.
I mean, seriously. An extra half-dozen or so activities each week that focus on a bible story already planned out for me with the supplies included… What more could I ask for?
