Scripture Memory Verses for Toddlers

The following are just a few scripture verses to begin this exciting journey of scripture memorization with your children or grandchildren, but there are so many more that would be easy enough and appropriate to add to this list.  Remember, scriptures learned as children will stick with them as they grow older, so I hope you will take advantage of filling their minds with truth from God's Word.

I found that simply going over each verse over and over with my children or grandchildren, and leaving out a word or two as they learned the scriptures worked well.  Making a booklet of each of the scriptures along with pictures, either drawn or glued in, is another way of reinforcing scripture memory in young children.

Steve Green and other Christian artists also have CD's of music with scripture set to music, another wonderful way of memorization of God's Word.  You can also download his music at no cost to your computer on Spotify.

Here is a short list to begin scripture memory with your little ones:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life - John 3:16  (For a very young child of two or under, you may want to have him master the first phrase before going on to the entire verse).
