Teachinging Children to pray

Teaching our kids to pray is a very vital part of our parenting. Home schooling and prayer go hand in hand, don't they?
There are many free resources to use when teaching about prayer. It has been a blessing for our family to grow in this area, and hopefully these are a few resources that can help all of us in this process.

Teach Us To Pray has some really cute activities to help reinforce prayer. Here is a tutorial on how to make a Prayer Jar. Make your own Prayer Jigsaw Puzzle, or Scripture Flipper. Here is a huge collection of prayer coloring sheets.
Have you heard of Prepare and Pray? This is a curriculum geared toward teaching real life skills while acknowledging God as the true source of our well being. Here is a sample chapter of the Prepare and Pray Curriculum. They also have a sample chapter available for their Blessed Assurance Curriculum.

Thank you to the Old School House Magazine for providing this info. :)
