Highly recommended!

I bought the 10 pack of issues and we are loving them! Thank you for a gorgeous product. My kids favorite part is the craft, recipes and animals. I love the prayer and the craft. All the other parts are fantastic, we are having such fun with this. The articles are enjoyable and understandable for such a range of ages, and the additional materials are versatile as well! So helpful for my kids 2, 4, & 7. The book recommendations are wonderful, too. We always get whichever ones our library system has available. Overall, your magazine is a very thorough, educational piece I'm so glad we invested in!

My kids did great with the craft and helping with the recipe, and the maps and coloring pages are a win for mommy who didn't have a lot of time to prepare. Thanks for covering so many helpful topics and making it streamlined. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting their kids to learn about the world God made from a safe, beautiful and well made product!
