Great theology, a little abstract for concrete thinkers

I really like the theology and the lessons are well thought out. This is best for older children though, and needs to be supplemented heavily for most groups, because while the videos are beautiful, they are too simple for older children to keep their attention, and the curriculum is too abstract for young, concrete thinkers and the questions and activities need adaptations for my youngest pre-k through 1st grade group, and even some of my 2nd and 3rd graders who are not quite there yet on some of the week's "bigger" life questions. I love to encourage kids to think big, but preschool is not ready yet for mini revolutions in its' entirety, so I would still encourage you to purchase, knowing you will just need an extra few moments to adapt your questions or craft.

The story and coloring booklet that goes with it are fantastic but I would love to see more crafty type things that could work with either the daily story or even the season such as one larger take home craft for Advent and Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. I wanted to order stickers for our kids and then found that the shipping fee to Canada would be twice the cost of the stickers which was very disappointing.

For our program, it would be better if the coloring pages were designed more for younger children. Fewer words and more picture. Pre-schoolers through K are the ones who typically like to color, and for them the words are pretty meaningless! We like the 4-panel cartoon stories, which can be used easily with nonreaders and readers.
