Bible Playdoh Kit – In several different versions, these playdoh kits are a very creative and hands-on way to teach the Bible. For ages 2 and up.

What an awesome list! I love those worship CD’s and I know me and my little will enjoy this very much! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Kay!
These are great ideas! I love, love, love the seeds of family worship CD, along with the seeds of worship; we use these songs with our elementary kids at church & it’s surprising how well they remember them.
Thanks for putting this list together; sharing! :)
Thank you Caroline :)
What a great list! I’m pinning it for when we have littles :) I had Steve Green’s tapes when I was little & his songs definitely helped hide the Word in my heart! I still have some of the songs memorized :) I definitely want to play his music for our children!
Thanks, Heather!
Thanks for these great ideas! I’m definitely going to look into those cds–I remember loving the Steve Green cds but had forgotten about them. Thanks for the reminder! Have a great day. :)
Thanks, Jennie!
