Looking for some great learning tools for kids? Check out learning toys for kids and great educational, fun books! Your kids will thank you.


Learning Tools for Kids
As the mom of four children, I’ve always had to be careful with how we invest in toys and activities for our kids. I want them to have fun, and I want them to have “toys” that double as learning tools. As a homeschool mom, I’ve always wanted some of our curriculum spending to go toward learning tools for our kids. I want some of our learning experiences to be hands-on.

Over the years, I’ve done a lot of shopping (and buying)–looking for the perfect learning tools for my kids. I bet you, too, care about the gifts you give your children. You want to spend your budget wisely, finding gifts to delight your kids while still sneaking in some learning.

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!

A Crash Course in Teaching the Bible to Your Kids

Danika Cooley’s book, Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible, will give you the tools and confidence to study the Bible as a family. It will help you identify and overcome your objections and fears, give you a crash course in what the Bible is all about and how to teach it, and provide the guidance you need to set up a family Bible study habit.

You will finish this book feeling encouraged and empowered to initiate and strengthen your child’s relationship with the Lord through His Word.

    This would be a blessing for our family… oh my gosh I would be incredibly grateful. My husband’s pay got cut a few months back and recently our mortgage payment shot up an extra $250 a month. My daughter, Chloe’s, 8th birthday is December 18th and her emoji birthday party is the 17th. I honestly have no idea where the funds are coming from to host her bday party but I have to make it happen. I would also like to get her some educational gifts. She really wants a microscope, some book, and a keyboard this year. Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity to win. I would also be able to get my family some gifts this year if I won this prize. Right now it’s looking like the worst holiday ever. This would completely turn it all around for us. Thank you!

    This year we have decided to not exchange/give gifts at all and instead focus on spending time together and making memories. So we are planning a family trip together. But since things do not always go according to plan… we have had to take our son to a special place to help with the issues he has with reading and it’s rather expensive but his education is first and more important. This would help us be able to do both.

    This list is full of wonderful resources! thank you for the opportunity to win. It would be a real blessing to our family! I gave birth to our son at 26 weeks gestation this year, right after my husband lost his father suddenly. I had to leave my job to care for our son’s many medical needs. It’s been a rough year for our family.

    Financially this has been a harder year so to win this would be great thing for us. I’d love to invest in some of these great products for the kids as a gift (but secretly for learning purposes).

    Our family would be blessed by this giveaway as unexpected medical bills have wiped out our savings we planned to use to pay for hubby’s school. Thanks for your generosity!

    This would be such a blessing to our family as the medical bills this year have been massive for this one income family. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after many dr visits and learning to control it and let go of stress has been difficult. We would use it to make Christmas a bit more special for our kids who wonder why their mom is fatigued all the time.
