Our kids chose to sing 3 songs. Then we sat down and had them close their eyes. I said "Imagine that we are now taking a walk in the forest". Do you see a deer? Do you see the trees? Then make sounds of different animals in the forest. Have the younger ones guess what animals make those sounds. Example, make the sound of an owl, snake or woodpecker.
Have them open their eyes. We gave a piece of paper to each kid to have them draw an animal that they saw in the forest. Our 4 year old drew a big picture of a tree that looked scary to her and I drew an owl. Then we cut out those pictures.
We turned off the lights and used a flashlight to reflect the images that we cut out on the wall. We talked about how we feel when we see those images in the dark. We asked them what makes them scared?
We turned on the lights and read Psalm 23: 4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me".
We talked about how God is with us and protects us everyday. We ended with praying at bedtime and sang the song "God is bigger than the Boogey-man" from the Veggie Tales movie.
