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 inΒ 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 like the idea of the bible as a Christmas present- what better time, huh? Thanks for this cool giveaway!
I was just looking at that book for my daughter for Christmas. I would love to win it! Thanks for the giveaway.

My son and I were just talking about what a shortage of craft supplies we seem to have around here! Mama clearly needs some help in the crafty department. LOL The storybook Bible would be wonderful, too – my son is six, and really starting to take an interest in Bible stories, and I want to encourage that. Thanks for the giveaway!

I’ve been loving reading this blog in the last few weeks. I’m very impressed with what you’re doing. I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old and hope to start doing the kind of thing you’re doing soon with my toddler.
And I have been subscribed to your feed on my Google Reader for a few weeks!

What a great giveaway! We are always up for a change of pace with a new Bible storybook and always doing crafts!
Thank you for the chance to win – art supplies are always a hit around this house!
The Bible and the bucket of crafts would be helpful in homeschooling my son. I am finding that all those craft supplies add up in cost. It can get pretty expensive. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wonderful giveaway! We would love to win these!
Thanks!
