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!

i have been trying to think of a way to do bible time with my crazy 15 month olds…a bible story book might do the trick!
Every night before bed, I make sure to read scriptures with my toddler. This would be great to have.
I have been wanting this book for a while, to share with my two little sons!

Crafts are always fun- especially with winter coming! I’ve got you book marked so I can come back soon and browse when I don’t have kids to get ready for school and a husband to get out the door! (NO, I shouldn’t be online right now, I know…)
What a great giveaway! I’d love to win, and my kids would love these, too. Thanks!
Thanks for doing this, i can always use the craft stuff for our homeschool we always use lots. and another book is always a welcome addition to the book shelf.

My son just started CCD (religious ed) classes so this bible will suit him perfectly. It’ll be a great learning tool. He’s also pretty artsy, and crafting is huge in our house! Thanks for the opportunity!
We LOVE the Jesus Storybook Bible; I am homeschooling our preschooler this year. I would love to share the book with my sister for her son. Thank you!
