Play Through the Bible: A Toddler's Introduction to God's Word Vol. 1: Old Testament Paperback – August 17, 2018

I absolutely love this book. My daughter is 2.5 years old and I have been trying to incorporate more structured learning time that was more hands on and interesting for a two year old. I also wanted to incorporate learning the Bible. However I was constantly looking on Pinterest for easy activities to do with her and nothing ever seemed easy or manageable with things I already have at home. Then I came across this book and it had everything I wanted and more. It has the simplest, easiest crafts for kids that I think can range from 2 to much older. Crafts that I look at and think why didn’t I think of that. Most of them take paper, glue, scissors, and markers which I already own. This is minimal to no prep work which is amazing! When there is a craft to prep it is normally just cutting out some shapes beforehand. Which down the road I think would be a nice way to help my daughter learn how to use scissors. It has simple songs, snack ideas, games, and other great ideas. We usually spend about 5-15 minutes a day on the activity which perfect for her attention span at the moment, but I know we can build upon that as she gets older. I can’t want to use this with all my children and use it over and over again. And hopefully they’ll make a New Testament version!

The media could not be loaded. Awesome resource for activities and crafts on bible stories. There are more craft and snack ideas than games so be prepared but lots of cool things!

I have enjoyed using this book for 3-5 year old at our church. The lessons are easy to prepare and I love the activities she gives for each lesson. I usually just pick 1 or 2 for church. The kids seem to pay attention to the story when their hands are active. I wish I had this book when my kids were little to go over the story a few times during the week. I would highly recommend this book for young moms.

I wanted to have a starting point to teach my toddler the Bible through play and activities, especially because we aren't going to a physical church right now. I came across this book but wasn't sure what to expect. I really wanteda go-to resource, so I wouldn't have to spend time I don't have on Pinterest looking for age-appropriate Bible activities. I doubted one book could be the answer, but I figured if it gave me even a few good ideas it would be worth it. I happily got what I was hoping for, though. This book really is the only resource I feel I need to get started on teaching my toddler the Bible. There are a variety of activities and information, and everything is well-organized and easy to both digest and implement. I'm really looking forward to the New Testament version.

I love the concepts. I found the projects to be engaging and inexpensive, primarily done with what I have. Play is a vehicle to authentic learning.

I am someone who likes to have something in my hand to flip through instead of a screen. I really appreciate this!

I have loved going through this book with my boys ages 3-6. Bible stories have come alive for them and they are so engaged in the activities. I am so grateful to have a book like this to begin our devotions with our boys- it gives us enough structure but still so much flexibility in teaching them about God's word. I am excitedly awaiting the release of the New Testament version!

My 3.5 year old and I love this book! It’s so well organized with lots of great pictures, so he always enjoys “previewing” the activities. I’m thankful for it and hoping the author will do a New Testament volume. The activities are fun and use so many materials that we already have on hand. This is also a fantastic resource if you teach Sunday School, VBS, at a Christian preschool or just want to do a small group with other families.
