NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers from Zondervan ~ a TOS review

Morning friends!

Have you seen the new NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers, a Bible for kids, from Zondervan? When I think of Bibles I immediately think of Zondervan, who has been my go-to for years. Both of my main Bibles are published by this well-known Christian company as well as the Bibles my children use each day.

I chose to use the NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers with my son, Micah, who is 7. Since the Adventure Bible is geared towards kids 6-10 years old he is at a great age for this Bible. Before receiving this Bible Micah used a Zondervan NIV Boys’ Bible in the NIV translation for his daily Bible study. While I do like this Boys’ Bible, he found the NIrV Adventure Bible more appealing as it includes 20 full color pages of Bible fun presented in a safari theme.

The Adventure Bible for Early Readers is an 8 1/2 inches tall by 5 1/2 wide Bible that comes in the New International Reader’s Version (NIrV) that comes in a glossy, soft-covered edition with over 1500 pages. As a complete Bible, it covers all 66 books from Genesis to Revelation and it is meant for readers on a 3rd grade reading level and up. This Bible retails for $22.49.

The NIrV makes a great first kid’s Bible for new readers, readers whose first language is not English, or adults just getting acquainted with the Bible. It is written in an easy-to-read 9-point font at a third grade reading level. It is also accurately aligned with the New International Version (NIV) but uses shorter sentences and easier to understand words.

Inside the covers you will find:

~ 20 full-color pages filled with Bible information presented in a jungle safari theme

~ Introductions for each book

~ Words to treasure and great verses to memorize

~ A dictionary/concordance for looking up unfamiliar words

~ Color maps that show places from the Bible

~ Articles & Illustrations that describe what life was like during ancient times

~ Close up looks at the amazing people of the Bible

~ Interesting facts to help you better understand God’s Word

~ Hands-on activities to apply biblical truths to your daily life

Micah is enjoying using this Bible for his daily Bible time! I love that it is written on his level so that he can dive into God’s Word easier. I know that Micah will be able to use this Bible for many more years to come before we transition back to our Zondervan NIV Boys’ Bible.

As Easter approaches you may be looking for a first Bible for your 6-10 year old. Hands down the NIrV Adventure Bible for Early Readers is an excellent Bible to purchase! But don’t just take my word for it! Check out what 21 of my CrewMates think of this Bible for kids by clicking the banner below.

7 Days with NO cap: Magic Stix Washable Markers ~ a TOS review

I have a daughter who loves to doodle and draw. In fact all of my kids love to color. Being able to express yourself through art is therapeutic for the soul! Sometimes finding high quality, safe, and most importantly washable art supplies can be quite a challenge. I want my kids to get creative and messy, but I don't always want the mess that goes along with it. That's why my craft loving kids have enjoyed using Magic Stix Washable Markers from The Pencil Grip, Inc.!

If you are not familiar with The Pencil Grip company, it was founded in 1992 by Dr. Lois Provda, a prominent educational therapist. Since inventing the first grips way back in the early 90's, the company has grown to offer many unique and innovative products for the home, school, and office. The newest item for The Pencil Grip, Inc. is the Magic Stix marker. We received the 24 pack and have been using them in some fashion every week!

So, just what is so special about these particular markers? Let me tell you all about their greatness!

Washable ~ marker on your hands, face and/or body, clothes? What about the walls and carpet? No problem, it comes out!

Unscented ~ no smelly fumes to cause headaches here.

Assorted colors ~ bright, vibrate colors. Available in packs of 12 or 24.

No-cap guarantee ~ long lasting colors that won't dry out even when the cap is left off for 7 days!

These markers arrived just in time for us to travel to Atlanta and they were a life saver on the long trip. Not only did I not have to worry about them drying out because they were left uncapped in the van, but they were the perfect activity for my kids to do as I plugged along down the highway.

The plastic carrying case is the perfect size for our on the go bag! It is made from durable plastic and not too clunky. Inside each marker snaps into place and the case has two latches to keep it closed on the outside. I love that the case keeps the markers neat and tidy. With 24 different colors you are sure to find just the right shade you are looking for. The tip of the marker is not too fat or too skinny so you won't have any problems doing detail work.

Overall, we love these markers and they go everywhere with us in our travel bag! The fact that the cap can stay off for 7 plus days is HUGE in my book, especially since I have a three year old who frequently forgets to recap the markers. Each of our makers has been going strong since the day we got them, cap or no cap. The fact that these markers are non-toxic, odorless, and come in a variety of colors hues you need to get your hands on a set of the these. You marker budget will thank you! I would love to see The Pencil Grip release a dry erase set of markers like these!
