Through the Bible Flannelgraph
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. On a few products, I have even encouraged you to purchase your own because I have felt that it is something that every family needs to have. Today, my excitement has ...
Game: I Spy Memory
Our nephew received a new game for Christmas that intrigued me. Let me back up… The “I Spy”, like “Where’s Waldo”, books ask the reading to find a particular object among a busy page. It forces the brain to focus on what is necessary and ignore the rest. This is an activity that is vital for life in every day situation. Now back to the game…the ...
Game: I Can Do That

Game Review: 1, 2, 3 Stomp

Another great plus is the fine motor skill of putting the numbers into place along with the gross motor skill of stomping and running to get the numbers. To ...

We get wrapped up in the busyness and forget about the blessings running around underfoot.Last night, I declared "Girls' Night." After supper, Sweet Pea and I headed behind closed doors and spent some quality time together. We hit ...
The Crippled Lamb
We picked up the book Crippled Lamb (Max Lucado's Christmas Collections) by Max Lucado at the library. When I pulled it off the shelf to read, Bubs said "I won't like this book." Talk about judging the book by its cover! But as we read about this little lamb, Bubs' demeanor did a 180. I saw his face as he fell in love with the little lamb and ...

Rush Hour Jr
Our OT introduced us to the game ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr. Although this game claims to be for ages 6-8, older four year olds should be able to do several of these mind games. The object is to get a car out of a traffic jam. Very fun and self entertaining! Makes a great birthday or Christmas gift for a PK or early elementary age child. One of the ...
