Worship House Media has developed a special area for children (Worship House Kids) where you'll find resources to assist with your children's programs: shorts, songs, motion, stills and countdowns. (www.worshiphousekids.com)
Start your program off with countdowns like Skater Cat Countdown who jumps over park benches, flies down the footpath and tears up the street on his skateboard. If you'd like a quieter start to your morning, try the bubbly underwater scenes of Deep Blue Countdown.
Songs by Shout Praises Kids, Yancy and others can also be found here.
Wave of Wisdom and other 2D animation shorts by Timbuktoons, object lessons that illustrate Bible verses for kids to learn and love, are included on this site and well worth checking out. We've included an overview clip of Timbuktoons material.

Children's ministry leaders recognise that the greatest impact on a child's spiritual growth is achieved when the family and church work together. So, I'm sure you're looking to provide resources to equip families and reinforce the lesson and activities the kids enjoyed during the Sunday morning program. But where can you obtain family devotion material or take-home papers/ bulletins if none are provided with your regular program?
We've listed some of the sites providing downloadable take-home materials. Some of these are free while others are provided on a subscription basis.
