Review: Tiny Bear’s Bible
The Tiny Bear's Bible is a cute little board book. The boy one is geared to boys while the pink one is for girls. Eleven Bible stories are discussed in cute rhyme fashion. This Bible is more about concepts than the actually Bible story. For example, in the story of the Ark, Noah's name is ...

Review: Oliver the Toad
In December, I introduced you to a refreshing, new author named Dawn Denton. I enjoyed the uniqueness of her first story Ruby and Rocket. The second book Oliver the Toad is even better than the first. Both in the Guest in the Garden Series, these books introduce children to gardens - what they grow and those who ...
Betty Lukens Flannelgraph 20% Discount

Not only do children hear the stories, they see them, and get to be part of the story which enables visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning when a child assists in placing the flannelgraph items on the board. This takes learning to the very ...

While reading the book Parenting With Love And Logic by Foster Cline and Jim Fay, I was given some reassurance. It usually takes one month of ...
Candle Bobble Head Craft
This craft was supposed to just be a simple candle. But because I am cheap and didn't want to cut a pipecleaner in half (yes, I know I have a problem!), we developed a bobble head candle. The kids loved blowing on the candle; watching it sway back and forth. Print and cut out the candle from the Candle Coloring Sheet. Separate the ...

Elephant Circle Craft
When the Elephant Walks is the Book of the Week on the 2 Year Curriculum Week 2. It is an adorable book that I was introduced to by our library. Pictured above is a cute, easy craft that can go along with this book or would be fun for Noah's Ark. Since most of the pieces to make the elephant are circles, it would be ...
