The fun begins with one of twenty-five captivating Bible stories that help children deepen their understanding of who God is and their Catholic Faith. While the story is told, simple lines, swirls, dashes, and dots create a picture that illustrates the Scripture's meaning. Children from all age groups will be mesmerized as they watch God's Word take shape. The final picture makes the Scripture and the message u-n-f-o-r-g-e-t-t-a-b-l-e! Each Scripture's message is further reinforced with a question for the children at the end of the story. Smiles will fill the room as the children realize that a picture with the answer to the question is right before their eyes. Younger children will enjoy hearing the story and watching as the storyteller creates the picture on a chalkboard, dry-erase board, or on a large piece of paper.
Older children draw right along with the storyteller, ending up with the Good News and an engaging illustration they will want to share with friends and family. Bible Stories to Draw and Tell are simple enough to show preschoolers but cool enough to intrigue a group of older children.
