Little Hands to Heaven Preschool Curriculum Ages 2-5

Save During Our Little Hands to Heaven Sale!

Mini-Review by Harriet Yoder

Little Hands to HeavenI am 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!

For the 5 to 7 age group, see Little Hearts for His Glory, also by Carrie Austin.

Beyond Little Hearts For His Glory For ages 6 to 8, another Bible based program by Carrie Austin.

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:

One of the three Bible choices:

New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes

A Childs First Bible

Or a Bible of your choosing.

One of the two devotional choices:

My ABC Bible Verses  Replaces Small Talks About God

Big Thoughts for Little People Replaces Playtime Devotions. A replacement schedule will be included with your order.

The Singing Bible CD and
A few basic art and school supplies for small children--you probably have these already.

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.

Little Hands to Heaven

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
