This document provides the story of Daniel and the lions from the Bible. It includes details about Daniel praying three times a day and being thrown into the lions' den as a result of others making a law against praying to God. God protects Daniel by sending an angel to shut the lions' mouths. In the morning, Daniel prays and thanks God for protecting him. The king is surprised to find Daniel unharmed. The document also provides suggestions for parents to help teach their children about Daniel's faith and praying daily.

He prays one, two, three times a day. (Count on your child’s fingers.) Some bad men see Daniel pray. “We will tell the king,” they say. “The king will have to put Daniel in the lions’ den.”
- 9. 33 Daniel prays to God in heaven three times a day,” the bad men say. “He must be put in the lions’ den.” “Daniel is my friend,” says the king. “I do not want to hurt him. But I must do what the law says. Daniel’s God will take care of him.”

- 16. 40 Have your child pray by the win- dow three times today just like Daniel. Take your child to visit a zoo, and look for the lions. Pet a kitten while you explain to your child that large lions are big, wild cats. You and your child can roar like a lion as you talk about Daniel’s story. With your child, look at pictures of lions in a book. Notice the differ- ence between the male and female. Take a walk with your child and tell God about all the pretty things you see. Study these suggestions for something to do each day. Select those that are appropriate for your child’s developmental stage and repeat them often.
- 17. 41 Name three things for which you and your child can thank God. Then thank Him. Use blankets, sheets, and some chairs to make a lions’ den. Have your child’s prayer time there today. With a piece of paper and a lighted candle, make a royal decree, and drip wax on it for a seal. While praying with your child, thank Jesus for wild animals that will be tame in heaven. Look at pictures of family members with your child. Thank Jesus for each one. Practice one of the finger plays learned in Sabbath School with your child. (See pp. 62, 63.) Help your child decorate a paper angel picture with glitter and crayons. Sing the memory verse song with your child (see p. 42); then thank God for watching over you, too. Let your child find you as you make lion noises while hidden.
