Little Seeds

Published: 8th June 2022

Little seeds logoLittle Seeds is a new resource for toddler groups which will help leaders to be more intentional about talking about our faith.

It uses a secular book as the basis for a theme with ideas for prayers, songs, crafts, snacks, and free play as well as suggested words for the leader to use to explain how the book and theme relates to God, the bible, or the teachings of Jesus.

The new resource has been developed by our Calling Young Disciples team. Mission Enabler, Sian Morgan, said: “Research suggests that carers who bring children to church-based toddler groups expect to hear about God. We hope that Little Seeds will give leaders the confidence to start those conversations. It doesn’t have to be followed exactly how it’s written – groups can use the resource in whatever way works for them.”Little seeds resource sheet

The team have put together 45 different themes based on easy to find children’s books. They are all available as individual resources sheets or a single pdf which can be downloaded completely free of charge from the Little Seeds section of the diocesan website

Laura Betson from Kidderminster West has been using the resource in their 'Little Fishes' toddler group, which was set up to support local families following the lockdown. She said: "We absolutely love the Little Seeds resource! There is so much on each sheet - it's really comprehesive and easy to use. There are some elements that we don't use yet, because our children are all very little, but I can see that the resource will grow with them. We're really excited to be able to share something of our faith in an age appropriate way with the families who come to the group."
