I had already shown my 4 year old son a Bible story book and he had refused to even open it, so I was not sure how this would be received. He loves it though and is pleased to have his own Bible. The stories are very short and the pictures bright and cheerful. I like the guide book as it extends the exercise and also reminds me to pray at the beginning and the end. My son likes the bright stickers. He's always happy to read a new Bible story every day, and that makes me very happy too.
My 5 years old daughter loves the book, the guidebook is easy to follow and the stickers are bonus, she always can't wait to do that!
My three year loves doing her Bible study everyday and is particularly keen on the sticker! I am intending to work our way through all three books and then repeat each book (great that you can buy spare sticker sets) and include the 'snack for the journey' section to extend it the secon time around.
My little boy enjoys reading and answering the questions most nights before bed, will definitely buy the other books in the series too
A really helpful way of conducting bible study with our little girl. I wanted some way of having my husband and I share the gospel with her and we decided to use this guide and actually we are really enjoying doing this every sunday evening after dinner. Our daughter also loves this lesson and one morning woke up saying 'I dreamt of beginning with God!' She also loves the stickers aspect so that's the fun thing for her to do. I wholeheartedly support parents if you want a fun way of introducing a conversation about the gospel with your little ones.
This booklet is great - the content is good, the stickers are fun and there is useful purpose statement for each Bible Story that you can get to with your child. We used it with our 5 year old, but really it is too young for him - probably best pitched for a 3 or 4 year old.
My 2 year old son wakes up from his nap and shouts out "Time for Bible stickers!". We love this resource and are very grateful to have found it. He is sticker mad so loves finding the right sticker for the story each day. This is so well thought through: having one big idea, a short prayer, games to introduce the story, ways to continue dwelling on the truth during the child's day. It really helps me that there is nothing to prepare, I can just open it up and start reading. The language is easy for even a 2 year old to understand. Would highly recommend this to go alongside your reading of the Beginner's Bible. (PS would be great to have it in French?!)
I use this with my kids who are 3 and 5. The bible stories are pretty short and the drawings are wonderful. The study guide is useful in putting structure to the lessons. I find that I am naturally asking the questions to my kids anyway, but it's good to make sure that I'm picking up the key point. The prayers are also really useful and the kids are starting to say different things rather than our usual 'thank you for a lovely day'. Overall, very happy that I bought this and I think from ages 4 and up is about right. The kids ask to read a bible story which shows the success in itself!
My three-year-old son is currently on his 4th repetition of BWG 1, 2 and 3 in sequence. We have to keep re-ordering them as he couldn't do without his Bible story and sticker every night! Books 1 and 2 come with a free extra sticker set, which is handy as it allows us to go through them twice for the price of one! The various extension activities allow us to expand a little on the stories once they have become familiar. This really is a fantastic resource and I have recommended it to many people.
Bit disappointed to be honest. The content is obviously good since it's all from the Bible, but the day to day pages are all black and white. The front cover looks bright and colourful and yes the stickers are in colour,but the rest is grey grey grey. I was hoping there would be stuff like a picture to colour in or a little maze to do etc, but nope. It's just all stuff for an adult to read and then kind of translate it into a 3 or 4 year olds language. I mean yes we do read the children's Bible with it (I use the Candle one) so that's colourful etc but I was hoping the 'study' book itself would have some appeal too. Shame. Yes the stickers are good but IMHO they're the only redeeming feature. Sorry to post a downer review. Best to be honest.
