My Review:
Thank you Zondervan for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.   All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.   

Over the last couple years I have had the opportunity to review some great children's bibles and stories.  This one keeps standing out the most!!! As soon as I opened the book I fell in love with the artwork by Jago!  I feel like his artwork truly is hard to express in words so I included a couple of them below...pictures of the picture truly don't capture the beauty.  




I think they way the illustrator uses shadows and colors just somehow create the perfect emotions for the devotionals.  

Since I have read several Bibles to my children this devotional is taking some of those stories an helping them apply the messages in a more personal way.   The devotionals are short but can provide several minutes of discussion for a family.  

The deluxe version comes with CD's to listen to each devotional.  I personally still prefer to read them with my children but I can totally use the CD's during play time for extra listening to them.  This devotional is a great tool to pair with the Jesus Storybook Bible.  You can read my review of the Jesus Storybook Bible  HERE.

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
