One of Ellie's favorite things is our family "Bible Time." As Chase and I set goals for this year, we decided it was time to incorporate family time each day where we pray, sing and read the Bible. Ellie is old enough now that she enjoys hearing Bible stories and will ask for "Bible Time" several times a day! I love her enthusiasm. Shouldn't we all be that excited to pray to our Creator and study His Word?!Since she has been learning about Daniel in her Sunday Bible Class, she requests we read about Daniel and the lions all.the.time. I'm trying to expand our Bible stories and was so thankful to find this blog for teaching children. I just finished making the visuals for telling the story of Jonah. All the directions are at their website. I laminated mine so that they will last longer (sorry for the blurry picture!). They even have a song that goes with it that Ellie likes to sing. I love using different visuals for our story time and this is a great addition. Obviously as the girls grow, our "Bible Time" will transition to topics relevant to their age and spiritual growth. As for now, I'm on the lookout for more visual aids for Bible stories :)
Thank you SO much for the link to the "Blessings for Bible School Teachers" blog. It looks like there are a ton of great ideas there!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great resource Katie! I also emailed it to Mrs. Judy because I know she would appreciate all their great ideas for preschool/toddler age.
ReplyDeleteDoes she have a children's bible? Dan's Grandma gave Parker a beautiful Bible with pictures and additional information and stories.
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple different ones but do you know the name of Parker's? I'm always looking for more resources. A friend of ours just gave me a phonics Bible for Ellie that will be great as we learn alphabet sounds.
