What happened to make such a big change for my five-year-old son? ~ This review contains affiliate links because we love this homeschool [...]
Although most Christians believe in the importance of memorizing the Bible, many of us find it difficult to do. This is a problem, because as Christian homeschoolers our main task is to teach our children about the Lord, and that includes memorizing his Word.

I don't recall how I happened upon this site, but I'm glad I did. Activity Village is a huge site devoted to crafts and activities for children.
