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!)

Oh, Amanda! What a great giveaway!
Even if I don’t win, I think I may have to get the book for my 2 year old.
Thanks!

This sounds so great — I love to find new ways to share God’s message with my children, and we love to craft on cold winter snow days (which are coming all too soon!)
My boys love doing crafts!
This is a great idea! My two year old loves doing “art projects” with Mimi and this would give them a chance to really spend some quality time together. He is starting to understand more about Christianity, so the Storybook Bible would definitely help us to convey those messages. Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh! I am all over this!
Also, I am subscribed to this blog’s feed and I’ll be putting the button on my blog post haste!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow, how did I miss that you had this blog here? I love it! And the giveaways are really neat, too. You know we love crafts here. And the Bible is something I’ve been looking for! I agree that most others are just watered down versions of the stories in the Bible.
I’ve now subscribed to this blog, so I don’t miss anymore cool stuff!
And added your button to my blog! 😉
Oh wow, we got a bible storybook from Grandpa, and its much much too old (i.e one picture every few pages) for our little one, and most others are just pictures. I am excited to (hopefully) see this one!
Thank you for entering my name!
oh how wonderful.
I would love the bible for my son.

I would LOVE to have this one! I’ve heard such good things about this Bible and I would love to share it with my son. Also…I love to go crafts with him when we can, so this would be the perfect combo of a win for me.
I have just stopped by from the Bloggy Giveaways Mr. Linky for teh first time, but love what I see, so I’ll be subscribing in one moment.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Pick me, pick me! =)
Okay…I subscribed, so count me in…again. =)
I love the idea of kinda of a “do it yourself” craft gift! How cool. Plus, Bible stories, especially if they are not watered down, are great and I need some for my son! (He’s only six months, but still!) I would love to win this to add to my craft collection for when my nieces and nephews come over to play (I have 17!).
Thank you!
