President Hinckley has counseled parents: “Read to your children. Read the story of the Son of God. Read to them from the New Testament. Read to them from the Book of Mormon. It will take time, and you are very busy, but it will prove to be a great blessing in your lives as well as in their lives. And there will grow in their hearts a great love for the Savior of the world, the only perfect man who walked the earth. He will become to them a very real living being, and His great atoning sacrifice as they grow to manhood and womanhood, will take on a new and more glorious meaning in their lives” (quoted in Church News, 6 Dec. 1997, 2)
I also really like the LDS Collection. The pictures are great. My mom used to make something similar for me when I was young. I still remember how much better I remembered the stories we had pictures for.

About This Blog
I have a toddler (LQ) who has just turned 2. She surprised me earlier this year by folding her arms and bowing her head when we were saying a prayer. I am ashamed to admit that there was never any concerted effort to teach her how to pray, but she has learned despite our relaxed efforts.
It was this little action that made me realise that my child has probably been ready to learn gospel related teachings for many months now. I have researched Toddler Scripture Study online and have come up with a few good websites, but nothing with all resources at your fingertips in the one place.
I am hoping I can encourage other toddler mummies to start a regular scripture study time with their child, by providing weekly suggestions and activities. I would love to post other's success stories, so if you have one, email me at toddlerscripture@gmail.com
