I have just discovered the sweetest curriculum for 2-5 years old! You will
have so much fun using this wonderful book to teach your children through
the Bible using the book’s great method which includes: studying one Bible
story a week by reading or telling the Bible story, finger play, alphabet
activity, bible activity, music activity, art activity, active exploration,
devotional activity, dramatic play and a math activity.

"Carrie
Austin, author of the Drawn Into the Heart of Reading series, has written
another wonderful program. Little Hands To Heaven is a Biblically based
preschool program for children ages 2 to 5. Each of the 33 Bible story theme
units is designed to take five days to complete. She was correct when she
wrote that the lessons are easy to do, but she forgot to say that they are
also fun to do!
For parents
and grandparents who are looking for a solid program that shows how much fun
learning can be, I'd recommend the Little Hands To Heaven Preschool
Program."

Carrie Austin, author of Drawn Into the Heart of Reading now offers a Bible based
curriculum for your preschooler. This rich program offers an organized way
to teach your little children their letters, letter sounds, numbers,
counting, Bible characters and stories, art projects, dramatic play and
more. If you are looking for a well thought out curriculum at a low cost for your
preschooler, Little Hands to Heaven is a great option! This
curriculum is laid out and organized nicely, making it easy on the teacher.
The structure is such that one can easily skim through a weeks worth of
lessons and figure out what items may be needed for the next week (like
tempera paint or yarn). Little preparation time is needed as it can easily
be picked up and worked from.

Finally, a preschool program for ages 2 to 5
that is Bible-based and easy-to-use. The flexible format uses fun, playtime
activities to develop basic learning skills. It offers parents an organized
way to guide learning without overwhelming children with a structured
curriculum. What Carrie Austin has done is to tie activities to Biblical
facts and principles to give us a way to thread basic learning skills
together in a more systematic way. So, in a sense we have the best of both
worlds-structure and learning through play.

Mrs. Austin has designed a preschool program (for ages 2-5) that is
Biblically-based, reading-preparatory, theme-centered (on a specific Bible
passage or story), flexible, and unthreatening. Any one of those descriptors
in a study is no small feat; but to incorporate all of them into one program
is impressive. There are 33 units (each 5 days in length), and all the days
have a similar format to aid in building familiarity and establishing a
study pattern-but without monotony. It's an affordable, Bible-centered,
flexible preschool program for little hands that we want to lift towards
heaven.

Little Hands to Heaven is a complete preschool program designed for
children ages 2-5. By using this guide, the little folks in your home will
learn through play all the age-appropriate skills they need, while they are
learning Bible characters and stories. I appreciate the chronological order
of the Old and New Testament Bible stories, the use of easy-to-find
household items, and the simple daily lesson plans. Your preschool-aged
children will eagerly anticipate each day's flexible, 30-minute session.

I was very impressed with "Little Hands to Heaven." It is very
thoughtfully laid out in a user-friendly format. I really appreciated how
complete and well put together it is! Most importantly, it is an excellent
Bible based program! This is a great program to get those tender little
hearts learning about God's love.

"I am so excited to find a complete Bible based preschool program for
children, ages 2-5! I remember the time when we had more little ones than
big ones in our family. Finding time to do something that is specifically
geared to the younger group while dealing with older students was
difficult. How I wish this program was available then!"
