jillian Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I would love to do a bible story daily and have this book of bible stories My Big Book of Catholic Bible Stories and have been reading chronologically but I am thinking that isn't the best ideas, especially since a lot of the stories seem a bit I don't know...difficult to understand. I would love to do a bible story daily and explanation at her 2 1/2-3 year old level but don't know how. Any help from you wise WTM-ers who have gone before me. DD is our first so I don't know how to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 We are Catholic. My son is 3 1/2 yrs old, he hasn't been interested in our Story Bible. I just ordered for him CHC prek/k package. Also, I use a lot of the St. Joseph coloring books and Fr. Lovasik books. Herehttp://www.catholicbookpublishing.com/BrowseByDepartments.aspx?DepID=66 and here http://www.fatherlovasikpublications.com/shop.cfm?aa=70 Using those have worked much better for us. The coloring books have a ton of information. I bought most of my books at our local Catholic store. Blessings, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillian Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 i have been really considering the CHC pre-k/k curriculum because from what i hear it's about a "grade level" behind so the pre-k would be suitable for preschoolers the k part for pre-k and so on. thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 They are doing a great newcomers deal right now, free shipping and the K program for $150. They just emailed me & offered me free UPS shipping upgrade on my order. You'd need to add 3 pre/k workbooks to the set, that's what I did. Here's the sale page http://www.chcweb.com/conference/giveaways.html Blessings, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganClassicalPrep Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 :bigear: I wish I knew. I'm looking for kindergarten resources. I was thinking of doing a chronological study of the Bible, but I'm not really sure how to go about it. I've looked at the Seton program, but it includes a LOT of coloring books... well... DD HATES coloring! That would never work for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Kymmie, I like the look of CHC, much better than Seton. Seton is also very heavy on workbooks.I'm very excited to be getting CHC prek/k next week! I really don't think little kids are that into Bible stories, at least my kids aren't. They would rather "do" than sit and be read to. Blessings, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD HATES coloring! That would never work for us. Seton I hear is a bit "dry" (at least for LA and History don't know about Religion). dd loves coloring and we plan on using their pre-k 3 book series (adventures with books, etc) but I haven't seen them in person so i don't know how "interesting" they are.

Blessings, Kim DD asks for them actually, she will ask for "bible story" but then tries to steal the bible from me and read it herself lol. I might have to go with a coloring book/activity approach.

Chris in VA Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 There are some fun bible-based cook books for kids (Gobble Up The Bible is one) that you could incorporate. You could do some of the Godly Play stories--make them in felt if you have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyR Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well, how about the Beginner's Bible? We have this and I have not found anything objectionable about it. My 3yr old loves to listen to the stories and my 6yr old can read the stories from it herself. I think its very age appropriate and tells the stories of the Bible in a way a young one can understand.
