I have tried a few different Easter devotionals for kids and really enjoyed the 2-week devotional from Daily Skill Building. It has a daily scripture reading for each day as well as a scripture memory verse for each day. The devotional portions are short enough for the littlest of listeners, but still captivating enough for older kids and adults alike. With my little kids, we may only go through the story cards right now, but can easily add to that with the daily devotional and narration portions. I like that there were flash cards included for the scripture memory verses and it’s easier to keep those handy on a daily basis for review. I also love that there are Easter story cards to retell the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus. I think I would have preferred if the scriptures that coordinate with each of the story cards would have been printable on the back of each card to make it easier to reference, but it was very nice to have the references provided. I got this after Easter this year so haven’t had a chance to go through it with my kids yet, but am excited to do this next year. My daughter will likely want me to put magnetic strips on the backs of the story cards so she can place them up on our white board. Thank you for the wonderful resource, keeping Him first and another reminder for us to look up.
