I can't remember being this excited about a book in a long, long time. This is an incredible book. It is well suited to bedtime stories, family devotions, Sunday School, or homeschool. I use it for all of the above!The illustrations are very well done. They are perfectly detailed to hold young childrens' interest, yet not too busy. The format of the book is large, so it is easily used for a group. Each story is approximately eight pages long and has its own style of drawing and font. The stories are told in child-friendly language, but unlike some childrens' Bible storybooks, they do not compromise the actual Biblical story.Following each story are three pages of activities: prayers, songs (sung to the tune of familar childrens' songs), rhymes, crafts, snacks, games, finger plays, service projects, etc. The ideas are fresh and use inexpensive materials usually found around the house. For homeschoolers, the activities provide a variety of ways to incorporate other subjects into the lesson. The possibilities are exciting.I can't imagine a more perfect book for teaching young children about God's Word. This is a great book.
This is an exciting book for children and their families to read TOGETHER!!! Pray and Play brings the BIBLE characters to the present and has kids loving to read the Bible and wanting more!!! I love how there are songs written to go with specific stories to familiar tunes and other activities as well. This is an asset to any preschool, Sunday School Class, or home!!! We have spent countless times reading to our little one from this book and they always ask for it again!!!
My daughter, age 2 1/2, loves this book so much she asks for "stories and crafts" every day. I love the fact that the this book has a simple craft ideas, snack ideas, memorable songs & finger plays that accompany and are tied to every illustrated bible story in the book. This makes it easy for me do a simple family devotional with my daughter since everything I need, (except the craft and snack materials) is all in one book. And the stories, action ryhmes and songs are innovative and fun. They are so memorable my daughter has spontanously started repeating them hours after our bible time has ended, and when we sit down to do one story and she often asks for me to repeat the previously told stories as well. I orginally purchased this book when my daughter was experiencing seperation anxiety and didn't want to go to children's church so I could do something with her at home, on Sundays, but now we do devotionals from this book almost every day, we love it so much. I would recommend this book to almost anyone who wants to introduce there little one to God. Group Publishing makes a "Pray & Play Bible 2" I just ordered it since we loved the orginial "Pray & Play Bible" so much. I envision using both for years to come, and when my daughter outgrows it I will keep it to with my future Grandchildren.
I bought this book to use with my almost 3 year old daughter who is very verbal and astute. I used other bible story materials with her in the past but she mastered the stories quickly so i wanted something that would keep the stories fresh and fun as well as easy to implement. I purchased this book based on my prior knowledge and experience with the quality of Group Publishing's materials; nevertheless, I had some reservations because there was no "Look Inside" option. Well, the faith purchase paid off! We've had this book for about 2 weeks and it has been a HUGE hit with both my daughter and me. In fact, I ordered the sequel this week because I want to be sure I have enough material to choose from.We typically read just before bed and this book engenders laughter and creativity to deeply embed the word of God on the heart of both youngster and parent. I love that each story is illustrated differently and with a different writing style such that it is like reading several books in one. Also, the songs with actions are easy to learn and do; no rehearsal necessary. It's definitely material that you can use impromptu and appear well-planned.My daughter typically asks me to sing the songs "again, Mommy" and while many of them are set to the tune of popular nursery rhymes, it is not uncommon to hear her singing one of the songs during the day--using the lyrics learned from the Pray and Play Bible. For sure, she is learning the Word and having fun doing it.This weekend we will try the crafts and activities. I am looking forward to it as much as I think she will enjoy it. Group Publishing, you never cease to "Wow!" me.
I am the child care director at a Christian Day Care. My original plan was to pick one story in the Pray and Play Bible per month and develop a theme around that Bible Story. My goal was to read the story once a week and do a related craft. However, the children BEG me to read the chosen story of the month over and over. They want to hear the stories more than once a week. At the end of each story, they remind me to "do the song". They absolutely LOVE the songs and fingerplays after each story. The crafts are great too. However, I do find that I do a lot of research online to find crafts to supplement what is in the book. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I will be purchasing the Pray & Play Bible 2 to use for next school year. I hope it is as great as the first edition. :)
