In the past two years since ABCJLM was created I have gotten excited about various books, educational tools, toys, and other products that I have blogged about.

Impressing on Children
Bible Time
On our first Talk 2 Me Thursday, LaToya left this question: I would love to know what Bible time looks like at your home with the little ones.

Recycling Crayons – In the Oven
Almost a year ago I posted how we recycled crayons using the stove top. This time I wanted to try the oven. Much easier! This activity can be done almost entirely by your preschooler. The adult just helps with the oven part of the process. No matter how you melt the crayons, remove the paper and sort the crayons by colors ...

Rainbow of Colors
In spirit of St. Patrick's Day, we made rainbows. I found this wonderful activity at Preschool Playbook under the St. Patrick's Day theme. I just changed it up a little. On a piece of construction paper, I drew six arched lines. We talked about the order of colors in a rainbow. I poured Fruit Loop cereal into a 9x13 pan. We started with ...
Review: What’s In the Bible
For several days I have been tempting you with little sneak peaks into the newly anticipated "What's in the Bible?" by Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer. Today's the day that I am finally going to get to the nitty-gritty. The good. The bad. The ugly. Positives - Phil Vischer set out to teach the Bible in 13 videos (the first two just ...
