And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. – Deuteronomy 6:6-7
As parents, sometimes we need a little help teaching our children Scripture. Thankfully, there are resources now that are biblically based and fun! Here are a few of our favorite resources to add to your Christmas shopping list:
- The Jesus Storybook Bible from Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago is our favorite story Bible. The stories are rich and the illustrations are beautiful. We love this Bible so much, we bought copies for family members and for the preschool classes at our church. (Available at bookstores like LifeWay, and on Amazon.)
- Seeds Family Worship music sets Scripture to song. We have fun singing, dancing, and memorizing God’s promises all at the same time. More good news? When your order a Seeds CD, you actually get two! They want you to give away one copy to continue to spread the Word. (Available on their website and Amazon.)
- What’s in the Bible DVDs are a new favorite around here. Phil Vischer (of Veggie Tales fame) has created this new line of DVDs that explore each book of the Bible. So far there’s nine DVDs, Genesis through the prophets, plus a couple extra Christmas-focused videos. They are funny and educational. (Available on their website, at bookstores like LifeWay, and Amazon.)
I’m so thankful for companies who help us follow the instructions in Deuteronomy to teach our children His truths. What are your favorite biblically-based products for kids?

We do a scripture song memorization to letters at my blog AND it’s free. :) Some of the songs are from Seeds Family Worship. Join us! We’re half way through the alphabet. http://www.thepoorganiclife.com/letter-verses
Great resources! I’m waiting for our The Jesus Storybook Bible to arrive. We love Seeds and I won the What’s in the Bible DVDs. My girls loved watching the Christmas one. ABC Bible Verses is also great as Erin mentioned.
