The popcorn was popped. Anticipation mountaining. The couch filled with two anxious adults and four excited children. It was finally time to watch the video. Would it be an instant hit or a disappointing let down? Israel Gets a King! is the fifth video in the "What's in the Bible?" series. The now famous puppets - Pastor Paul, Sunday School ...
Impressing on Children
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 ...

Review: The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes
Even though we grew up states apart, my husband and I grew up with the same children's devotional. Both of our families used the The Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes book.

For the past three weeks, I have been working very hard to make some much needed changes to the ABCJLM 4 Year Curriculum. I have felt for a while that this curriculum was lacking but just hadn't ...
Shaving Cream Finger Painting
Using shaving cream as finger paint is a fun project to do with the kids. Wonderful sensory and fine motor activity. Plus it makes your house smell really good! Place shaving cream in a pan. A jelly roll pan worked best. Add water-based paint to the shaving cream to change the color. A pan with sides works best although we did try ...

Valentine’s Day Card
While looking for a valentine, I found this idea at Enchanted Learning. It was pretty simple to do. Use this idea for birthday, Get Well, or Thank You cards as well. Start with the template. Cut it out on construction paper. Write whatever you want on the inside. Sweet Pea signed her name at the bottom. Option #1: Fold up the bottom two ...
