  I've been singing old hymns to my little guy these past few days. he seems to calm down quickly. probably because I'd sing them at church when I was still carrying him. and I've read several bible stories to him, too, after I finish nursing him

  We have a well established family bedtime routine that baby is there for. We read a few verses of scripture each night (or an illustrated children's scripture story), say prayer as a family, then when we lay each kid down we sing some church-y kids songs. We also pray/bless the food before each meal. And attend church each Sunday. With the routine our oldest was singing along and saying prayers himself well before his second birthday. As soon as he could communicate verbally he wanted to pray even if it was just mumbles and babbles with amen at the end.

  Love this ^^
  We pray over her each night as we rock her to sleep and pray before each meal. We also have some religious board books we read to her.

  I second everything @jneb225 said- living a life that is God honouring is the best way to introduce God to your children. We also listen to christian radio in the car.

  Before every nap I sing Jesus Loves Me to him. We pray with him before bed time. During his wake time I often talk to him about God and Jesus. We have a lot of Bible story books to read to him. I listen to contemporary Christian music so I sing those to him a lot throughout the day.
  Edit: I forgot, we also pray with him before meals. And like pp said, it's really about how we live and the example we set through our lives.
