With the competition of fluffy bunnies, brightly coloured Easter eggs and exciting Easter egg hunts instantly grabbing the attention of kids over the Easter period we, as parents and kidmin leaders, struggle to highlight the real message of Easter. How can we compete with the commercialization of Easter? How can we encourage kids to focus on Jesus' sacrifice and its eternal significance? These colourful presentations of the Easter story combine with interactive iPad/Android apps to grab kids' attention and deepen their understanding of Easter.

The Toddler's Bible- Easter Story ($0.99)

My daughter-in-law was recently lamenting the lack of quality presentations for her little ones at Easter. This beautifully illustrated version of the Easter story is perfect for younger ages. Produced by David C. Cook, the story is written by well-known children's author, V.Gilbert Beers. 
'Your toddler is ready to start building a delight in the Word, a hunger to learn it, ad passion to read it. This is the age to begin building that delight, or hunger, or passion. Next year may be too late.' V.Gilbert Beers

A lone rider approaches. The cheering crowd swarm to greet him. The King has come, mounted upon his mighty steed Dave the Donkey! Join Dave, his Grandpa and Jesus in this epic Easter tale of power, courage, death and resurrection. If you like Black Beauty you will love Dave the Donkey. Other story formats are available and free downloads.
