So, we were having so much fun making ornaments that we went ahead and did Day 4 (Noah) today. 
The readings prescribed in the Jesse Tree Project, are a bit much for a 3 yo. I try to read as much as I can, using inflection to make the story more interesting to little ears. I had to paraphrase the readings, especially since we ended up doing 3 days worth of reading and ornament making in just one day. 
Day 2: God creates man and woman

Day 2: God creates man and womanIt seems like one of the most effective methods for teaching the Jesse Tree to the toddler set would be for the parent to read the daily Scripture alone first. Familiarize yourself with the story, then get the child's picture Bible and read the corresponding story with the child, adding the important points from Scripture that are omitted in most children's Bibles (ex: I added that the first thing that Noah did when he and his family left the ark was build an altar and worship God, and that God was pleased by the prayer and thanksgiving.)
