NKJV Study Bible For Kids

The New King James Version Study Bible For Kids by Thomas Nelson Publishing, is a sturdy, hardback, solid, Bible.

The full color interior includes these features:

Action!: Helpful, interesting, and day-to-day life topics

The reason I chose this particular Bible was for my second grade son to use. His primary use is to bring it to church and follow along when the pastor is quoting scriptures. I look forward to the day that he can sit and read the Bible, on his own. Right now he can read children's story Bibles that are geared towards his age and he does a great job. I still wanted him to have a full sized, real Bible that he can follow along in, I really believe he will be reading it on his own soon enough!

Unfortunately, the full sized Bible I gave him last year for Christmas fell apart in less than nine months! He was pretty disappointed. We used it daily in our homeschool and he weekly brought it to church, but honestly I expected it to last much longer than that! So a new Bible was in order. This particular Bible, as mentioned before, is geared towards kids. It replaced his old one and he loves the colors and themes. He was pretty disappointed though that it didn't have Jesus' words in red like the adult Bibles that we have.

He enjoys thumbing through it and likes to try reading what he can! The theme of this Bible likens the word of God to a movie which I can see being captivating for younger children but in my opinion it seems slightly disrespectful to the Lord and his word.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly.

For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
