Craft time can be fun but challenging sometimes to think of what you want to do next with your child.  I love craft kits because it gives you the resources to create your craft but also provides you with all the materials.  I have found at times that it is cheaper for me to buy a craft kit than to round up all of the materials.

Printoons by Tommy Nelson are wonderful craft/activity projects.

Synopsis: Printoons are unique characters created with your own fingerprints because no two fingerprints are alike. Children from ages 5 and up can create fun and wild artwork that that is special like them just by using their ink fingerprints and a few simple lines drawn with a pen to create various characters in the stories. The activity pack includes washable inks and hours and hours of creative, fingerprint fun while learning how Noah trusted God and built an ark to save his family and the animals God sent him two by two.

Activity Kit Includes:

• 1 Printoons ink pad with four colors
• 1 Printoons pen
• 24-page storybook to illustrate
• Instructions with sample Printoons characters

My Opinion: I took Printoons: Noah’s Ark with me to a Children’s Church lesson to see how the kid’s responded.  They loved it!  The first thing I heard (something I never thought I would hear) was “Mrs. Coe, you draw good!”  I can’t draw but with Printoons and the instructions that they have – any child or adult can create fun pictures.  The kids absolutely loved drawing Noah and the many different animals.

What I loved about it was that not only did it creatively teach a great Bible story but I was able to show how important they are God by the fact that their fingerprints are unique to them.  This is definitely a fun, entertaining way to teach Biblical principles to your child.  I highly recommend Printoons and the different activity books that they have.

WIN IT!
