Welcome to Impress Your Kids! We are Amanda and Leigh, two sahms who just want their kids to think we are the coolest thing since TIVO. Actually, we’re just two moms who want to impress God’s Word on their kids. We try to do so by using crafts, stories, activities and anything else we can think of. And because we’re addicted to the internet, we blog about it.
This is really a blog to keep us accountable to teaching our kids and to help each other be more creative. So, if you need some creative, crafty ideas, stick around and see what we’ve got going on!
NOW. ONTO THE FREE STUFF!!
We’re giving away two of our favorite things—
First, is The Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd Jones. This is THE best Bible story book to help you plant God’s Word in your kiddo’s heart. Most kids’ Bibles are watered down cartoon versions of Bible Stories. NOT this book. Each story, humorously told and beautifully illustrated “whispers” Jesus’ name. (For more info, I wrote a big review of it here.) Believe me, you will LOVE this book.
The second part of our giveaway is a BUCKET O’ CRAFTS (ok, it might not be a bucket…). That’s right, a big pile of the finest construction paper, pipe cleaners, pom poms and lots of other stuff you’ll need to have a crafty time with your kids (and hey, even do some of the crafts you see here on Impress Your Kids).
Sound good? So to win the book AND the bucket o’ crafts all you need to do is leave a comment. It can be any comment (but comments that sound like you read our post and/or browsed our blog are especially appreciated!). If you subscribe to our feed, leave another comment and you’ll get a second entry. If you grab our little Impress Your Kids button (it’s the green one on the top of our sidebar) and post it somewhere on your blog you can get a third entry!
Make sure you leave a valid email address and that you live in the US or Canada, too. We’ll announce our winner on Friday! Thanks to Bloggy Giveaways for hosting all these fun giveaways!
(ps–we’ve got giveaways going on on our own blogs, too. Click on our names below to check them out!)
I’ve heard so many great things about the Bible Storybook. Thanks.
Oh, I hope that, in God’s providence, that I win this one. The crafts excite me since I’m an art teacher to preschoolers and early elementary students in a school with no art budget…but the book is what I really really really want. I’ve had this book on my Amazon wishlist for a long time but decided last year to purchase THE BIG PICTURE STORYBOOK BIBLE instead. My son has loved that book but we want this book now since he’s older and his reading skills are developing. Plus, we are members in the PCA and would love to support the PCA author. Thanks!
What a fun giveaway drawing for our family! Please enter me in your delightful drawing. I appreciate it!

I subscribed to your blog.
My 4 yr. old just started a Baptist preschool and is learning all about God and Jesus (I’ve tried to teach her but she would rather listen to any one but mommy) and it’s all she talks about. We were in the car the other day and she said, “Mommy, you are going to be so happy in heaven!” I just thought that was the sweetest thing ever. I thouhgt I would just tell you a little about the little girl that would get the book if we were lucky enough to win. Thank you!
What a great giveaway. This would be a great book for my children.
Thanks!
This is a great giveaway. We can always use more construction paper, pipe cleaners, pom poms and lots of other stuff. 🙂

Love this book! It is now a standard baby shower gift for me! (along with the swaddleme infant wraps)

This book is on the list of items that I want to buy for my year old this year for Christmas. I agree that we as parents have to teach our kids about Jesus at a young age and this Bible seems like it would be a great addition to our bedtime ritual. Thanks for the giveaway.
That book looks amazing! My little girl would love to do the crafts! Thank you for doing this!
I subscribed to the blog and look forward to reading your entries on schooling your children. I work outside of the home but try to find time to do lessons with my son during the week.
I just added your link to my site. Thanks again for such a thoughtful and useful giveaway. Many blessings…
I really like the idea you have for this blog, I’ll be back to visit for ideas to do with my kids I’m always trying to teach them my faith so they can grow up with a faith of their own
We love doing art projects together. I think it is a great way to bond. Thanks for the contest!
Wow – the book looks amazing. My daughter loves books and this would be wonderful to add to her collection.
I love the book.My kids would love it.Not to mention the crafts.Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
That book looks fantastic! My kiddos would both love the book and the craft stuff – we are of the mindset here that there is no such thing as too many craft supplies!

I’d love this for my 5 kids :o)
Beautiful book and the supplies would come in handy for crafting.
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! I would really love to win The Jesus Storybook Bible for my little guy, from your review it sounds excellent!
I’m subscribed to your feed 🙂
Thank you again!
What an awesome looking Bible story book. we’ve also searched for Bible story books for our family devotion time at night with our kids and have found many to be watered down versions. What a great reminder for today that I need to impress my kids with what is truly lasting rather than getting through my day. Thank you!
I love the “T” day. And the tree with the real leaves. It also made me feel good to see all that scripture and just to know that you are making a big impact in your children’s lives. To God Be the Glory!
I would love to win the Bible book to start teaching my 17-mo old daughter. It’s never to early to start.
I’m always looking for more crafts and stories for our daughter. She’s only 1 1/2, so we’re just getting into crafting and this would be so much fun to have!
Very Good and Would like to have this. Rachel is 2 now. ahmaur(at)hotmail.com
