Little Hands to Heaven Preschool Curriculum Ages 2-5
Save During Our Little Hands to Heaven Sale!
Mini-Review by Harriet Yoder
I
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.
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.

activities require little or no preparation and use only materials you're likely
to have on hand. There is no literature to gather."

same time. Activities can be done in one sitting or throughout the day."

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.
