Easy enough to do with no prep required, so is actually doable/achievable. Would be great if it had a video resource of the same bible stories to supplement. Probably still slightly advanced for my 27 month old, but achievable with repetition.
A great introduction to the Bible for my 4 year old. Simple enough for her to read together, and she loved the stickers. She really enjoyed reading this with me, and the brightly coloured pictures are also attractive to my 2 year old. Looking forward to completing the other books from the beginning with God series with her.
A great resource for teaching toddlers the stories of the Bible and applying them to their lives - we use it with them in Sunday School.
Bought the bundle for my 3 year old and so far can be adapted to use with a different children's bible which is useful. Well pitched for attention span with some fun ideas to engage, and stickers are always a win (although our book 1 stickers were not all present and correct, but hopefully this will not be the case for everyone).
I think this is an excellent resource. I always have sth I can use for the suggested intro activity that I can lay my hands on in a couple of minutes so I'm not put off doing it by lengthy prep. It's repetitive in its format which is great for a preschooler, brief enough to be manageable daily(ish!), and engaging enough that they are keen to do it more often than not. I bought all three books after just a few days of the first one!
Revisiting this with my nearly 5 year old child who enjoyed these as a toddler. It is excellent. She is enjoying engaging more with it this time around. The hands up (wow God!) And hands in prayer section is short for their limited attention spans.
We also used this as a crèche team for the main teaching curriculum for over a year.
Children this age can repeat several times over in many contexts and still benefit every time.
It is currently helping our daily devotional times to be concise, practical and enable me to have in mind teaching as we go through the day together. Priceless moments of teaching for very little parental effort. We use it for our home education morning time as a family group as well. It would also easily be a good outreach event programme for a toddler group etc. It makes a great gift for others in your church or who are interested in their children learning the Bible who have no understanding themselves.
Thanks for a great resource!
I bought the Daily Bible Readings, in appropriate ages, for my 2 grand daughters. They are excellent, as are all books sold by the GoodBook Company.
This was a good way for me to introduce my son to the stories of the bible. He particularly enjoys the story of David and Goliath, and has also since become interested in stories of other biblical heroes. The stories are simple and the visuals are eye-catching for toddlers.
My husband had this Bible (in an older version) as a child 30 years ago and still imagines these pictures when he hears some of the stories. We are now reading this version to our two and half year old and he is really understanding and engaging with them and the pictures. The illustrations are clear, colourful and fun and the stories are faithful, concise and simple enough for young children but with enough in them for discussion. We highly recommend this Bible for young children!
I've used The Beginner's Bible for a while and made-up my own activities. Stumbled upon this resource and it's fantastic. My 2 1/2 year old loves it but could easily be adapted for up to 5/6 year olds.
Fun activities and thoughtful questions all with the bonus of getting a sticker when completed!!
