We're keeping it simple. We're going to talk about it at dinner since Dad leaves for work at 6:45. I made a little coloring page for my girls to do and am feeling even lazier and I'm not going to post a jpeg file of it. Here is a screen shot. If you'd like a copy, let me know.
Here is a little blurb from the friend about prayer as well that can give you some motivation on prayers in the scriptures to talk about.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (James 1:5).
When you need to know an answer to a question, whom do you ask? When
you are hurt, who can help you? When you are sad, who can comfort you?
In the scriptures, we read of men, women, and children who prayed to
Heavenly Father when they had questions or needed help.Joseph Smith was fourteen years old when he wanted to know which church to join. He prayed one morning in a grove of trees near his family farm (see JS—H 1:5–20).
Moses wondered about all of God’s marvelous creations. He asked questions about them on “an exceedingly high mountain” (see Moses 1:1, 30).
Enos had gone to the woods to hunt when he recognized that he needed forgiveness for his sins (see Enos 1).
Daniel lived in a busy city near the king’s palace. He prayed daily for guidance even though the law said that people who prayed would be thrown into a den of hungry lions (see Dan. 6).
Esther fasted and prayed because she was afraid to go to the king’s court to plead for her people (see Esth. 4–5).
Each of these people prayed for help. They believed that no matter where you are or what time of day it is, Heavenly Father can hear your prayer. The scriptures show us that Heavenly Father did hear their prayers and that He answered them.
One day after watching Jesus Christ pray, one of His disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). Jesus gave them the Lord’s Prayer (see Matt. 6:9–13; Luke 11:2–4). This prayer is a pattern for us to follow too. Jesus not only taught the disciples how to pray, He gave them a promise that their prayers would be answered. He said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matt. 7:7).
We can pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere. Just as Heavenly Father heard the prayers of the people in the scriptures, Heavenly Father hears our prayers today, and He answers them in ways that will be for the best.
