Recently, our family received some new books to check out from Sparkhouse Family. We were delighted to try them out and agreed to write a review!
Spark Story Bible Devotions for Kids and three Play and Learn Books.
"Spark Story Bible Devotions for Kids takes kids on a journey through 100 of the most beloved Bible stories with questions for reflection, key verses, prayers, and family activity ideas."

We have really enjoyed adding the Spark Story Bible Devotion book to our Bible reading time!


The Bible Devotions for Kids includes Fun activities and questions help children engage with the stories—as well as Squiggles, an expressive caterpillar who responds to each story. The devotions are short and to the point, but tell you where to find the entire story in the Spark Story Bible so you can delve even deeper.
The boys really get a kick out of the characters in these books. They love the colors and fun illustrations!

The Play and Learn books have quick activities and short projects you can do to go even further with the Bible stories. There are pictures, words and great ideas to help your children not only remember what they've heard, but apply them to their lives, as well. We haven't spent as much time in the activity books as we have in the devotions, but have found some topics for conversations from them!
The Play and Learn Book would be a great addition for elementary kids and older!
