Our holiday Bible studies are designed to provide you with a fun and meaningful way to take advantage of the holidays to draw closer to the Lord. Each of the Bible studiescomes as a set that includes an easy yet meaningful craft for children to complete as they listen.

Children make their own books!
Every day, children work on their own little books! These books are
- Easy to complete
Every page of the book is numbered for easy use (example: page 4 of book goes with December 4 devotional and is done on December 4th). Instructions for completing the day's page are given in the devotional. The physical kit comes with an approximately 4 1/4 by 3 1/2 inch comb bound book, while the e-book includes instructions and necessary pages to make a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 book. - Fun
Children love making their own little books! The physical kit even includes stickers and a gold pen for children to decorate with! We obviously couldn't include stickers or a gold pen in an e-book, so we turned every day in to a page to color, decorate, or paste one of the little objects the children print and cut out. The e-book booklets are much bigger, so there's ample room to really let those creative juices flow. - Meaningful
Not only will children making their own book, but the simple words and pictures will help them grasp the heart behind Christmas.
"The kids enjoyed listening while decorating the page. I liked how the true need of salvation was related at a child's level." --Homeschool mom
"One of the aspects I most like is that the author does not make it simplistic or foolish just because it is for children! How refreshing in a devotional for little ones. It is understandable to young minds, engages them in the activity, and yet offers the meat of God’s Word. How can you go wrong?"--From a review of the devotional by Kate Kessler. Published in the Old Schoolhouse Magazine.

Easter Devotional/Bible Study - Includes a Craft for Kids!
Looking for something meaningful you can do as a family to prepare for Easter? Jesus--The Life-Giver is a family Bible study for Easter week (Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday) focusing on the life we can have in Christ. We designed the Bible study specifically to meet the needs of homeschool families who were looking for something fun, exciting, and meaningful they could do with their children to prepare for Easter.
Children make their own flower garden while they listen!
Every day, children get to add a flower to their own paper flower garden. The color of the flower's backing, as well as the object/picture in the center of the flower, are all coordinated to reinforce the devotional's message. 
For example, on the first day the children have a snowflake to decorate around on the center of their flower to remind them of God's plan to bring us life. They then glue the flower to a black backing to remind them of how hopeless our hearts are without Jesus.
View sample pages from the e-book here!
This Bible study comes in e-book form; the e-book gives you patterns and instructions for easily making the gardens out of predominately household supplies. The only additional items besides scissors, coloring utensils, and glue you will need are a container (flower pot, bowl, or basket), popsicle sticks to hold the flowers in the container, various colored cardstock paper to print out the flowers on/back them, and dry beans or Styrofoam to hold the flowers inside the container. We've really tried to keep it simple--and affordable. The e-book is only $7.99, and includes the rights to print out flower patterns for ALL your children.
Katherine Loop designed a pre-Easter study, Jesus: The Life Giver, that is absolutely wonderful! What I loved most is that it wasn’t a study of Passion Week, but a look at the heart of the One who is passionate for our hearts. - Deborah Lembach. Read more on the As We Walk blog. Picture above shows the flower garden they made using the instructions in the e-book.
This is a wonderful product! It can be used for simple or in-depth conversations, depending upon the length of time you may have and the ages of your children. Our kids, ages 4 - 12, enjoyed it very much; my husband and I did too. Also, our boys liked designing their own flowers just as much as our girls. Each day we had great discussions, and we saved the flowers for a month or more! This was our best Easter week ever thanks to "The Life-Giver". - Stephanie Wooley

"I heard my daughters (age 8) prayers mature. We discussed/reinforced her understanding of why Jesus was born. We got into the habit of reading every day! She also gained an understanding about the difference between following the law and following Jesus and why we had to have the law. I also came to a more clear understanding of this." --Homeschool mom in Virginia - Witness to friends and family
The "book" or "garden" the children make provides a great conversation starter with friends and family. The completed crafts themselves give the gospel message, helping children review what they learned and share the message with others. - Help your children understand the whole gospel message

Devotions work well for a variety of ages, enabling the whole family to study God's Word together.
We designed the devotionals so that the entire family could study the Bible together. The text is simple enough that even a young child can grasp the main points but deep enough that older siblings and parents will learn and grow as well. The activity portion is appropriate for any child who would enjoy putting a sticker and coloring in his/her own book.
