Easy Ways to Bible Fun for the Very Young: Twelve Bible-based Activities for 3-5s by Vicki Howie
This is a very simple yet comprehensive resource book for those working with the under fives, both in nursery education and church-based pre-school groups. The material is accessible with a "See what to do at a glance" approach. Each session includes a brief "Ready, steady go" section for the leader, outlining the theme of the session, Bible references and simple suggestions for preparation. Further material comprises a suggested welcome, preparation of the story basket, an interactive read-aloud illustrated Bible story, suggestions for movement and mime, instructions for the craft and simple prayers. The twelve sessions are broken into four distinctive sections: "Me", "Me and you", "At home" and "Out and about". The sheet accompanying each session forms the basis of a take-home craft activity. All full-page craft and story illustrations have photocopy permission.
