Prayer beads for children: Protestant Prayer beads designed with your elementary child in mind. I was introduced to Protestant prayer beads by Kristen Vincent's book A BEAD AND A PRAYER. They have meant a lot to me. As a mother and grandmother, I wish I had known about them when teaching my children to pray. These colorful wooden prayer beads will help your child when they talk to God. Just touching the beads as you pray meets a tactile need in children. There is no right or wrong way to use prayer beads, you as a parent can choose your own method. If you want to use my method, I include a copy with your purchase. Most children by the time they are 4 years old are able to thank God for something, be sorry for an action, pray for a particular person, and talk to God personally.

A complete prayer bead set has 34 beads, 33 beads for the life of Christ and one Resurrection Bead plus a small wood cross. There are 4 Cruciform beads that make the shape of a cross. These are the natural wood beads. In between the Cruciform beads are 7 colorful wooden beads for the 7 days of the week.
