Children Books and Play
The best book about Lent out there explaining the season of Lent to children. If you own just one Lenten book, this should be it!
An awesome activity book that explains Lent to ages 4-10. Works for any denomination that observes the liturgical calendar.
Stunning illustrations and words weaving together the entire biblical narrative culminating with Easter. Ages 4-9.
What I love most about the Baby Believer primers is how sturdy they are for babies, yet easily adaptable for toddlers, too.
Tells the story of Palm Sunday and Holy Week from the Donkey’s perspective. Ages 3-8.
Perfect book for both Lent and Advent. An absolute classic that tells the Easter story from an unexpected perspective. Ages 3-8. (But really… adults, too.)
7 quality wooden nesting eggs—one for each day of Holy Week, with an accompanying book to tell the story.
12 Easter Eggs, each with a symbol of Jesus’ journey to the cross inside. You can open one every day leading up to Easter, or hide them all and let the kids open them up to tell the story. A fun surprise for a Sunday School class!
