Prayer Rocks

Prayer Rock Poem



I'm your little prayer rock, this is what I do-

Put me on your pillow until your day is through;



Then turn back your covers and climb on into bed-

Whack! Your prayer rock will hit you in the head!



So then you will remember as your busy day through-

To lay down and say your prayers the way you wanted to.



When you finish praying, just dump me on the floor-

I'll stay here all night long, then give you help once more.



When you wake in the morning, Clunk! I'll stub your toe-

You'll remember morning prayers, before you get up and go.



Put me back on your pillow- when your bed is made,

and your clever little prayer rock will continue in your aid.



You know your Heavenly Father cares and loves you so,

He wants you to remember, to talk to HIM you know.

-------------------



I lay out big baskets of calico fabric and let the kids cut their own

fabric for their prayer rock using a square cardboard template. (about 5

inches square depending on the size of rock you have) make sure rocks

are large enough not to pose a choking hazard.



Laminate the poem or print on card stock, and have a hole punched in

the corner. Kids place a rock in the center of the fabric square and

tie it shut with ribbon, then add the poem and tie again. Kids also

enjoy adding stickers to the edges of the poem, there are also small praying

hands and small sun and moon stickers available.





Enjoy~
