Welcoming A New Baby


Song: I Am A Child of God

Scripture: D&C 68:28 "They shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord."


Items needed:
Box with bottle, baby food, diaper, and any other baby items Baby doll Chalk and chalkboard, or large paper and marker Adapted from the Family Home Evening Resource book:

Look at 1st Verse:
  • What does being a child of God mean?
  • Why would Heavenly Father want us to have parents kind and dear?
Tell each child about when they were born and what was special about their birth.
  • Ask each child how they feel about the new baby.
Look at the 2nd Verse:
  • What things do we need for the baby's physical needs?
Show the items from the box to help.
  • What do we all have that we can give? (Love)
One way to show that is by holding the baby. Let each child practice holding the baby doll.

Look at 3rd Verse:
  • In what ways can we receive blessings with the new baby?
Look at Chorus:
  • How can our family lead, guide, and walk beside the new baby?
Use the chalkboard or large paper to make a list with the family.
