My Review: Thank you Zondervan for sending me this book for free for an honest review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Do you have kids who ask a lot of questions when reading in the Bible? I do! In fact, I think my son is a very visual learner so this book has become his favorite one right now to have me read. He loves seeing pictures in this book to help him connect dots from the Bible stories we read. It is one thing to read the stories but when you can visually connect the picture to the story it truly helps young minds understand things more fully. I feel like my son has a better understanding of not only the evidence of facts related to the Bibe but also some of the artifacts as well. Seeing the pictures of the Arc of the Covenant to looking at the size of the arc compared to football fields to even the maps. I can just see my children understanding and enjoying the history lessons on each page.

If you are looking to add something to your devotional life or your child's then look no further and pick this one up! You will not be disappointed with all the great information each page contains!

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

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

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!
