Mini-Review by Harriet Yoder
 I
am so excited to find a complete Bible based preschool program for
children, ages 2-5! I remember the time when we had more
little ones than big ones in our family. Finding time to do
something that is specifically geared to the younger group while dealing
with older students was difficult. How I wish this program was
available then!
Carrie Austin has managed to create a very "do-able" program in Little
Hands to Heaven. Everything is right there for busy parents.
The book is very easy to follow. All you need to go with Little
Hands to Heaven is:
Since our youngest is 7, I asked a friend who ministers with her small
Christian daycare to try the program. She gave rave reviews and said
the children loved it. Specifically, she appreciated how the program
went through the Bible and had fun hands-on activities for the children.
At the publisher's website, you can download sample pages of
this curriculum and check their placement chart. Both links open in a new
window.

By Carrie Austin, M. Ed., Heart of Dakota "A collection of 33 units based on
stories from the Bible. Each unit has a theme centered around Bible
characters. The activities in each unit coordinate with the daily
Bible stories." Each one of the 33 units has 5 days of lessons.
"Simple daily plans have the work already done for
you. Quick and easy activities require little or no preparation and use
only materials you're likely to have on hand. There is no literature to
gather."
"Lesson plans are written so
you can use the program with multiple ages at the same time. Activities
can be done in one sitting or throughout the day."
"Engaging lessons are filled with ideas that get
kids moving, exploring, and playing in a meaningful way."
This complete preschool program includes letter
recognition, letter formation, letter sounds and motions, early math
skills, Bible activities, devotional topics, art projects, dramatic
plays, active exploration, finger plays, and music.
For ages 2-5 |

Kenneth Taylor
 Beautifully illustrated for children ages 4-7. You can read these
simplified stories from the Bible aloud to your children. The New Bible in

the one I like best because you can use it with a wider range of ages. |

Next you will need one of the following devotionals
|
By Kenneth Taylor, Illustrated by Kathryn E. Shoemaker
 Big
Thoughts for Little People goes through the alphabet with a beautiful picture
and Bible verse for each letter. The writing (poem) goes with each picture and
verse. There is additional explanation/discussion/questions in Kenneth Taylor's
style for each one. Children love to find the hidden ladybugs in each picture.
It is a hardcover book. This replaces the Playtime Devotions for the younger
children in Little Hands to Heaven curriculum. |
