My 6 year old loves any sort of activity book. I was excited to get her this one that combines activities with a biblical story. She really enjoyed doing the pages and reading the story along the way.
The activities aren't super complex, some pages just say to 'draw angry faces' or 'draw some music notes.'
There aren't a ton of pages so it won't last all summer by any means but it's perfect for a road trip or a week-long project.
Such a fun filled coloring book with activities and puzzles that tell the story of Paul and Silas when they escape from prison! This is based off of the book with the same title, but is done as a coloring book. This would be a fun book to have for homeschool, family discipleship, or even for sunday school classes. This coloring book takes you through the story from the Bible about Paul and Silas and has children interact through activities and coloring. There are mazes and drawing activies among many others. My only wish is that it were a little longer and had more pages to color in. Definitely a fun coloring book and great addition to reading the Bible!
It's not bad but it's not what I am looking for in a coloring/ activity book. Lots of text so younger readers/ toddlers will want you to read it like a book. Activities better for bigger kids. No perforated pages for ripping pages out to share / display art. In fact, so much text on every page that coloring is not the focus which made my kids sad. Pretty small for what it is and the price. Feels more like a book thrown in for free with the picture book instead of a separate purchase/ item.
This book has long been a favourite in our house. It covers the beautiful story of Paul and Silas choosing to sing praises to God, even when in chains in prison, followed by their miraculous escape and the jailer’s wonderful story of coming to faith. We have found this to be such a child friendly and visually exciting way of retelling this story from Acts. 🙌
This activity book is just the ticket for those looking for faith based activity books and is the perfect size to take away on holiday/for hospital waiting rooms/car journeys, etc. 🚗
This copy of the activity book was provided in exchange for my honest review.
Content warning - both the book and colouring book do make reference to intent of suicide, which we don’t feel is an issue as we haven’t shied away from this difficult topic, but some families may wish to wait.
"A story that you can colour?! Cool! "
That was my youngest daughters response when we opened up this book: 'The Prisoners Earthquake and the Midnight Song' by Bob Hartman.
This 21 page biblical colouring and activity book was a major highlight for my kids. Packed with puzzles, activities, word searches, and not to mention you get to colour the whole book: the only complaint my kids had was that they didn't want it to end.
I love resources that can be used as a biblical teaching tool, and this was the perfect time to discuss themes in the Bible, while keeping kids minds engaged, and their young hands active.
An answer key is conveniently located in the back of the book, as well as a photo list of other available books from the 'Tales that tell the Truth' series.
This activity book was so much fun, and definitely worth recommending!
