Back-to-School Squishy Giveaway and Devotional: Squeeze Out Your Worries

Help kids trade back-to-school worries for God’s peace with Squeeze Out Your Worries!

The start of a new school year often brings excitement, but it can also bring anxiety, uncertainty, and big emotions for kids (and their parents). Squeeze Out Your Worries is a ready-to-use, downloadable ministry resource designed to help churches encourage families with a fun giveaway and a meaningful reminder that God is with them every step of the school year.

Centered around the popular squishy toy trend, this resource gives children a simple, memorable way to “squeeze” their worries into God’s hands while learning to trust Him. It’s perfect for Back-to-School Sunday, Backpack Blessings, family ministry events, or as a thoughtful gift for every child heading back to school.

Simply download, customize, print, and share! It’s an easy, affordable way to bless families, reinforce biblical truth, and remind every child that no matter what the school year brings, God is with them.
