Here are some reasons Bible activities are a GREAT tool to help you teach the Bible to your kids!
Creation Activities Your Kids Will Remember, and…
The Creation story in Genesis 1-3 has some really important doctrine in it! Read through those chapters with your kids, then dig deep with these fun hands-on resources.
1) Read Wonderfully Made: God’s Story of Life from Conception to Birth with your kids. They’ll learn how God formed and cared for them week-by-week in the womb! Take your 5-11 year old on a journey through science, Scripture, and 40-weeks of developing life in the womb as they learn about how our Creator God lovingly formed them. They are indeed wonderfully made!
Wonderfully Made: God’s Story of Life from Conception to Birth is an adventure for your child.
