Great Devotional for Kids – Devotions Off the Map

July 6, 2015 by Emilee Evans

I love having a devotional for our kids. Having a devotional for kids is a great way to keep them (I really mean me) on track, and it blends seamlessly into our homeschool schedule. I love devotionals that are more interactive than just reading, though, and that’s why I was excited to review Devotions Off the Map from Family Christian.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to facilitate my children’s devotional review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links.

Christian Kids Books, Bibles, Toys, Music, & More!

 
Family Christian offers a great variety of Christian resources for kids. From books to music to toys, I feel good knowing they offer faith-based resources our kids love.
For my review I received the Devotions Off the Map book, which is set to release August 1st (but don’t worry, you can Pre-buy it now!).
Devotions Off the Map Devotional for KidsDevotions Off the Map is a 52 Week Devotional for Kids. It really focuses on helping kids walk through their relationship with Jesus and building their relationship with Him. It uses a fun course-type layout where it ultimately stresses that Jesus is the guide.
We have been using Devotions Off the Map as part of our homeschool with our three children ages 9, 7, and 5, though the interactive questions and activities are more suited for our older children. Our youngest always likes to be involved when he can, though! We love that this devotion is laid out almost as an adventure. We’re an outdoors type family and love to explore, so our kids can really relate to the layout of the devotion, and I love how it brings it back to their relationship with Jesus.
I love how flexible Devotions Off the Map is. There are related verses, questions, and activities (which all have their own exciting adventure type descriptions). You can use as much or as little as you’d like. We’re encouraged to make it our own (a.k.a. go off the map). At the very beginning, it lays everything out for the parents so we can get familiar with the devotional before we begin.
Devotions Off the Map - Devotional for Kids
I, personally, like that there are questions to really dig deeper, but due to our children’s special needs, open ended questions are difficult for them. So I ask them in ways that it makes them think but offer options to help guide them. This has been working well for us.
The further activities are dependent on the day. Because these are weekly devotionals, it gives us plenty of flexibility to stretch out the activities throughout the week. This is definitely very helpful. There are many corresponding verses to relate to the weekly devotion, so I also spread them out throughout the week and go over our devotion again in review.
Devotions Off the Map Review
Off the Map Devotions is really written in a unique and interesting way that appeals to our kids. It has beautiful illustrations and overall, it has really helped our kids dig deeper into God’s Word and consider their relationship with Him and how to make it more meaningful.

Our Daily Bread for Kids – Sunday School Songs CD #FCBlogger

May 21, 2015 by Emilee Evans

Our kids love music. I love music that teaches them about God and the Bible. I think it helps encourage worship, and kids learn a lot through music, so I love that they’re learning something so important!
Sunday School Songs

I love that Family Christian offers a variety of great faith based resources for children and families. They make finding positive, encouraging, and family-friendly resources easy whether you shop at your local Family Christian store or online!
For my review I received the Our Daily Bread for Kids: Sunday School Songs CD.
Our Daily Bread for Kids Sunday School Songs
This CD is a great CD for young kids. It has 2 discs with a total of 30 songs from well-known favorites like “Jesus Loves Me” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” to a few that were new to us! Plus, the songs are sung by kids, which makes it even more fun for the kids to sing along! I love this because many times adult vocals are out of range for children.
All of the songs have a positive, faith-based message, of course, and they’re catchy and fun! The kids and I have been singing along together. They love to dance to the songs as well!
The Our Daily Bread for Kids: Sunday School Songs CD has been great for circle time or any time! I play it often in the background during the day as well. We all really enjoy this CD! You can purchase this CD and more great faith based resources for kids at Family Christian.

Fun Hymns and Songs Activity Kit for Kids

February 10, 2015 by Emilee Evans

As a busy homeschool mom that is always planning and preparing activities I absolutely love resources that make it easy for me to get our kids involved in activities with very little preparation!
Hymns and Bible Songs Bible Activity Kit
Disclosure: As a Family Christian Blogger I received complimentary products to facilitate my Bible Activity Kit review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family. This post contains affiliate links.
Family Christian offers many great Christian resources for families and children including great activities for kids to help engage them in learning God’s Word.
For our review we received the Growing in Grace Hymns and Bible Songs Activity Kit. The kids were so excited to check it out they dove right into the activities before I could even snap a picture of the kit (hence the missing stickers). 😉 The kit includes a music CD, an activity book, 2 double-sided crayons, and 2 sticker sheets.
I allow our kids to choose the order of the activities, and they started with sticker activities because stickers are fun!
Hymns and Bible Songs Activity Kit
Activities vary from placing stickers based on a person’s action, what type of music note it is, dot-to-dots, games, mazes, coloring, tracing, choosing your favorite way to praise, and so much more! The activities are ideal for young children – preschool to early elementary age. Our 4 year old and 7 year old have been working together on the activities and helping each other, which is always nice! In fact, they’ve been working together so nicely, Bart wanted to relax next to them!
Hymns and Bible Songs Vol 1 Review
I love that in addition to the activities, there is the music CD as well. The kids can listen to the music while doing the activities or any time! Kids learn a lot through music, and I think it’s important to be sure they’re listening to the right music. The CD contains 20 different songs, and I have been singing along to most of them – now they are, too!
I think the Hymns and Bible Songs Activity Kit is a great Bible activity kit for encouraging kids to enjoy positive music and stay busy with activities that fun and faith-based. At under $10 it is an amazing value!
