Book Review: "Bible Gems to Remember" Illustrated Bible

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

About the book: 

Scripture is filled with “gemstones”—concise statements of five words or less that hold great value, meaning, and power. Bible Gems to Remember Illustrated Bible, written by Robin Schmitt and illustrated by Kris Aro McLeod, takes children through 52 stories from the Bible, each featuring a powerful gem from Scripture to memorize.

God can accomplish amazing things with just a few words. Imagine what he could do in the heart of a child who memorizes and meditates on these short “gems” of wisdom from the Bible.


Bible Gems to Remember Illustrated Bible:
-Offers 52 stories from the Bible, one for each week of the year, enhanced with beautiful gemstone photos that encourage children to memorize Scripture
-Includes more related gems to ponder at the end of each Bible story above and beyond the featured gemstone verse
-Is creatively based on Scripture “gemstones” that are concise statements of five words or less that hold great value, meaning, and power
-Features a gorgeous cover

My Review:
My children and I are loving the easy memory verse for each story with some pretty pictures of gems on the page!  Each of the verses is so short we all cam memorize it on the spot as we recite it together a couple of times.  
There are 52 Bible Stories in this children's picture bible.  So you can use this book one day a week for the 52 weeks in the year or like us just read it daily until you finish it.  
My favorite feature of this bible is the push for memorizing.   I will admit I am not always very good at taking time to do so but with this they are super easy to do!  If you are like me you can agree that even the 5 words or less of memorize scripture can do mighty and amazing things in our lives!   

A few Gems;
Job 19:25- My redeemer lives
Galatians 5:13 Serve one another
1 John 1:7 Walk in the light.
Matthew 13:43 The righteous will shine
Romans 10:9 Jesus is Lord
Psalm 121:5 The Lord watches over you

See easy and powerful!   :) 

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

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!
