As moms, we are always looking for ways to cultivate a love for God in our kiddos. With these amazing devotionals, you will be able to find the perfect fit for your family and your kiddos!

I’ve used many different devotionals in my journey and some I enjoyed more than others.

The key is finding the right devotional.

It helps them begin to look at God’s Word as a life application resource when they have an appropriate children’s devotional book to guide them.

To achieve a successful devotional time you will need to get some great materials in your kid’s hands. I have used quite a few different devotionals and I am always reading reviews and checking how many stars they have.

One thing that I get asked all the time is “What devotionals do you suggest?”

These top 8 Devotionals for kids broken out in age groups will help get you going and growing.

What I have selected are either in my home right now or in my “cart” ready to be added to my shelf. As I was doing my research for you, I came across some great newer devotions for kids that I will be adding to our library. Yahoo!!

I have read these to ALL my kids at some point. Other devotions, for older kids, they begin reading on their own.

The key discipline is that you are instilling devotions into their daily routines.
