Growing in Christ Toddler T-Shirt — Ephesians 6:1-4

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother... And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." — Ephesians 6:1-4 (KJV)

Most Christian toddler apparel says "Jesus loves me." That's true — but it's not the verse Paul gave Christian families to walk by.

Ephesians 6:1-4 is. And it cuts both ways. Children obey their parents. Parents don't exasperate their children. Together they grow — in nurture, in admonition, in the Lord. That's the family Paul described, and it's the family this tee was built for — starting with the youngest member.

Bold "Growing in Christ" brush-stroke typography on the front with the Ephesians 6:1-4 reference beneath. Made to order in soft 100% combed cotton, sized for toddlers, designed for the whole family.

The Design

• Front (centered): Bold "Growing in Christ" brush-stroke typography with the "Ephesians 6:1-4" reference beneath — readable, intentional, designed to grow with them
• Back: Clean — no design (toddler-friendly minimalism)
• The detail most parents miss: This isn't generic toddler faith merch. The brush-stroke typography matches our adult "In Christ" tee exactly — because adults ARE in Christ; kids are GROWING in Christ. Same family, same journey, different stage. Verse-accurate, intentionally designed, prayed over before production.

Common Questions

What ages does this fit?

Toddler sizes 2T–5T fit roughly ages 2 through 5, depending on your child's build. See the size chart below for measurements. For older kids ages 6–14, see the matching youth version.

Is this fabric soft enough for sensitive toddler skin?

Yes. 100% combed ring-spun cotton — soft against sensitive skin, breathable for active toddlers, pre-shrunk so it keeps its fit after washing, side-seamed for durability through everything they'll put it through.

Will it survive actual toddler life?

Built for it. Lightweight 4.2 oz/yd² (142 GSM) cotton with side-seamed construction holds up to playgrounds, snack spills, and daily wear. Pre-shrunk means the fit doesn't change after washing.

Does it match the youth and adult versions?

Yes — same brush-stroke typography across all three. Perfect for sibling sets with the youth version, mom-and-toddler matching with the adult "In Christ" tee, or full-family discipleship outfits. Adults wear "In Christ." Kids wear "Growing in Christ." Same family, same journey.

Is this a good gift for a baby dedication, baptism, or first birthday?

Yes — designed for exactly those moments. Ephesians 6:1-4 is THE family relationship verse in Scripture, making it especially meaningful for infant dedications, toddler baptisms, first and second birthdays, and faith-based preschool programs. Often given by grandparents and godparents.
