I am trying to figure out how can I share with children that God loves them in simple and short way. Is there any verse that I can show it to them too?

This is tough, when you are new and don't know a lot about the bible yet!
First off, don't panic. Their salvation is in God's hands, not yours. You are their first messenger, but you are not the one responsible for their salvation.
Depending upon their age, you can talk to them openly about how and why you decided to ask Jesus to be the leader in your life.
As you come to know more about the bible, translate it for them. Tell them the stories about the people of the bible. Show them that God loved and used this man and that woman, even though they weren't perfect! He still loved them and used them to glorify Him.
Start existing within your family as God would have you. You have been brought from death into life, and it is your mission (as it is everyone else's) to bring as much of heaven here on earth as is possible. To be part of the solution to the cruelties of humanity, not the part of the problem.
Give yourself room to grow. This will help your children know that they are allowed to have room to grow as well.
Protect your home from evil. This means people, music, television, video games, books, radio, all of it. Don't let evil ideas invade your home. If your children are teens and want to listen to music that not only doesn't support your values, but lashes out against them, let them know it won't be tolerated.
Make sure your children know that they are responsible for what they put in their bodies and their minds. It is never too early to talk about the real consequences of actions and how they always have choices.
Here is what it is to be a Christian. Each time we are faced with a decision, we have choices. A Christian should make the choice that most thoroughly glorifies God.
Because we live in a broken world, and are all broken people, sometimes there won't be any truly good consequences, because we are making these choices as a result of making other choices that did not glorify God.
I am thinking of the 17 year old girl who told me that she is pregnant and is going through all the difficulties. She has three main choices. She can abort, keep the baby, or give it up for adoption. ALL of the choices will have negative consequences of one kind or another. This is because she made the original choice (to lay the egg before she made the nest) that did not glorify God.
But that is only one example. And we are all faced with the consequences of our choices in many ways, every day. Give yourself and your children that room.
I guess my problem with your question is that the Christian life isn't simple or short. It is ongoing. You want to 'fix' your children so that they will follow you into heaven. It is wonderful that you want your children to follow you to heaven, I just want you to know that it isn't a one shot deal. It is like finding your way in a forest - just leave them a trail of breadcrumbs so that they can follow you - and you, follow Him.

Matthew 5:29-30

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
I find it necessary before I say anything to anyone concerning the Lord, that I ask the Holy Spirit to not let me say a thing that He does not want said. I say things like "Holy Spirit guard my words that only your Words be said and not mine."
I can easily make a fool of myself, if I fail to ask the Holy Spirit first. If you are teaching young childen, know the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John very well. Study the gospels and study the book of Psalms and Proverbs, but above all study Genesis and hold firm to the Word of God. I mean the Scripture that says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, etc" Don't miss the part where He created them in literally 6 days and made special mention of the evening and the morning were the _____ day.

Gentleness and kindness. John 3:16 is a good verse to start with.

The first verse that I ever learned was John 3:16 and it has stuck with me throughout all these years.
Throughout all the years that I thrust God to the wayside so I selfishly could focus on worldly things, that verse always stuck with me.
So I recommend that one.

John 3:16 but also they should learn to recognize God's love in their everyday life and I did that with my own kids by pointing out the gifts and blessings that God has bestowed upon them daily.

John 3:16 "For God so loves the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have life everlasting." That is the whole truth in one sentence! God bless and I know the angels are rejoicing at your recent acceptance of Christ!

The story in Matthew chapter 18, the raising of Jairus daughter from death and the fact that God regards all of us as children.

Read the whole first book of John and I think you will be able to come up with a great short story for the kids. GOD BLESS & GOOD LUCK!!
