These days it seems our little ones come into the world instinctively knowing how to work electronics, doesn't it? I mean, I am constantly in amazement at how quickly even the youngest kids can pick things up!
That's not always a bad thing. While we naturally don't want our children to spend ALL their time in front of devices, they can be a great tool when used appropriately. They can help us to teach our kids just about anything in a way that is fun for them.
Today, I'm excited to share an all new book for toddlers that combines reading classic Bible stories with technology, Planet 316 Story Bible For Toddlers:
This padded Bible storybook takes all of the best qualities of the Planet 316 Story Bible -- creative storytelling, humor, augmented reality, and engaging illustrations -- and distills them into a format toddlers can enjoy. The Planet 316 Story Bible for Toddlers includes eight classic Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments. Little ones will learn about Noah and the ark, David and Goliath, the birth of Jesus, and more with bite-sized stories crafted for the short attention spans of wiggly toddlers. Families will love this fresh storybook that makes the Bible approachable and enjoyable. Ages 2-5 years.
We had previously had the chance to review the original story bible (see post here) and both of my children absolutely loved it. While it was technically a bit on the young side for my son, he'd loved the inclusion of the app to truly bring the stories to life. My daughter likewise enjoyed it, but some of the stories were a bit long, as she can still have that toddler attention span... you know, fleeting! This book is made just for that younger audience. The stories are a bit shorter so you can read them quickly before their attention has moved onto the next great thing. But beyond that, the book itself is created with toddlers in mind... and we ALL know that babies and toddler can be a little bit destructive when it comes to books! It's sturdy and absolutely perfect for those little hands of theirs! At days away from 5-years-old, my daughter is right in between ages for both books. While she loves both, I would say this is the one she reaches for most often.
What I love most about this book is that it gives kids options. Yes, they can download the app (free), and enjoy that aspect of it... but when electronic time is over, it's still just as much fun. The stories are cute and easy to follow along with, the illustrations are fun and draw kids in...and most importantly, the kids are learning about the Bible at a very young age! What's not to love?
