About the Title:

My First Hands-On Bible is the preschooler version of the popular Hands-On Bible, which has sold over a half million copies. Jesus taught with hands-on lessons and illustrations; My First Hands-On Bible uses the same experience-based learning to communicate God’s Word in an active, understandable way. My First Hands-On Bible is a fun and simple yet meaningful way to engage preschool, pre-K, and K children (ages 3-6) with the Bible while helping them build a solid faith foundation. Each lesson focuses on a specific Bible point through a variety of activities in order to reinforce and help young children remember the stories and lessons. Using common household items, you can help your children have a “hands-on” learning experience while engaging them in 85 key stories from the Bible. My First Hands-On Bible doesn’t just retell the Bible stories; it also includes actual Scripture from the easy-to-understand and easy-to-read Holy Bible, New Living Translation. In addition to the stories and activities, there are fun illustrations, prayers, and a special Jesus Connection feature.

Review:

This is my first expierance with the Hands-On products and I really enjoyed the My First Hands-On Bible!  My two children (ages 3 and 5) love hands-on projects, crafts, and anything that helps them explore their world through their senses.  This Bible gave creative and easy to learn solutions for teaching the Bible stories in a hands-on way.  I didn't have any problem finding the common household items the book calls for. The Bible gives parents simple ways to help children understand and make sense of the story they are reading.  It uses all the senses and is written on a kid friendly level.  It really was a fun way to spend time with my children while teaching them important and valuable lessons!
