As a child, one the "hot" toys at church were these large cardboard blocks. We built, knocked down, and hit at our creations almost every Sunday and Wednesday. My mom gave me this idea of how to make large blocks out of juice containers. Super easy! Cut the top off the containers and wash out. Allow to dry. Slide one container inside ...

Review and Activity: Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five Little Speckled Frogs is one of the stories on the 2 Year Curriculum's Book of the Week list. My kiddos love to sing the song. There are several versions available, but my kids and I enjoyed Nikki Smith's illustrations. The song is divided up to match the pictures. Even though they know the story and the illustrations were predictable, ...
Review: Read and Share Toddler Bible
The Read and Share Toddler Bible is the 2nd Bible suggested the in 2 Year Curriculum. With simple pictures and short sentences, this book is perfect for toddlers.

Review: My First Hands-On Bible
In the first few moments of holding the My First Hands-On Bible, I knew that I had just found my Bible of choice for the 5 Year Curriculum.

I really liked ...

Red Light, Green Light

Little Man and I have this game after church. He runs a little way ahead until I stay stop. Go....Stop! He freezes and looks at me with this amazingly ...

Learning the Books of the Bible
A few months ago, I felt compelled to add the New Testament Books of the Bible to the 4 Year ABCJLM curriculum. This led to working on them with our own kiddos. I started working on them at mealtime but found that I was forgetting in the mist of serving second helpings and cleaning up sticky fingers. So, I moved this learning to drive ...
