BikeBookBread Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm not looking for Veggie Tales or other quirky-animated type Easter-time story. My 3 and 5 year old girls want to see a story about Jesus' experience. They know the scriptural account (they always want to hear the "Jesus Died on the Cross" story from the wonderful (pull no punches) Jesus Storybook Bible. Ideas?? Is "The Passion For Kids" any good?

We really like The Miracle Maker. We bought our copy at Walmart a few years ago. It is very true to the Biblical account. http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Maker-Story-Jesus/dp/B00004WI56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missplacedalaskan Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The Easter Promise is one of our favorites. We have it on VHS but I need to get it on DVD as we don't have a VHS machine right now. It is animated, but very well done. http://shop.cbn.com/cbn/item.The-Easter-Promise.MFPM010609001.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarification re: "The Passion for Kids" -- I thought I read somewhere that a children's version of "The Passion" had been made...not SHOWING "The Passion of the Christ" to a 5 and 3 year old!

You may have meant the Jesus FIlm for Children (by Campus Crusade). We have that one - but I chose not to show it to my kids at age 3 and 5, in fact they are now 10, 8, and 6 and I may let them see the whole thing now! I've used excerpts of it for VBS and the one year I showed the cruxifiction portion to a group of second graders and there were one or two that it troubled (although - I'd say in a good way not a traumatized way). Nevertheless - I decided not to show that portion again. It is tamed down, but can still be upsetting for young children. I'd pass on it for age 3 and 5. Or omit the cruxifiction scene.

Sebastian (a lady) Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 If you have The Visual Bible, the end of the Matthew disks would have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
