I volunteer in my church nersury Ive been working with the 0-24 months old but I just started working with 2-3 yr olds. I noticed that they are only interested in one thing about 5 minutes. I have a three yr old and I tried doing some of the activities i do with him. can anyone give me some suggestions for short church related activities for the 2-3 yr olds. we color, sing, and play and were working on getting a tv to watch a short show. can anyone help

HI!
That is a difficult age.
I myself had teens. Seeing as I was very young myself, that was great.
Wednesday clubs I did too, the children there were between 4 and 10.
What might help is rewarding them.
When you let them draw something, make a first second and everyone 3rd prise. That might help. When you tell them a story (childrens Bible story) ask them if they have any questions. Let them explain what how they translate the story into today´s life. Or let them just explain how they feel about the story. Getting a tv? For me that would not be the answer, especially when they are so young.
I hope this helps a little.
Take care and good luck.
