Looking for a great series of activity books for your LDS homeschool? Shauna Mooney Kawasaki, in partnership with Leatherwood Press, has released a great series called “Activities for LDS Kids.” Let’s take a look at them.
The first book is called, “Dot-to-Dot 1-30.” Your child can learn to count while connecting the dots to create fun pictures he can then color. This book has nondenominational pictures, so it doesn’t matter if you’re LDS or not – you will still find the pictures applicable.
Next is “Dot-to-Dot 1-50.” Is your child ready to tackle the harder numbers? This is the book for him. As he learns to count to fifty, he will create pictures straight out of his favorite Book of Mormon stories. It’s a great way to combine counting skills with teaching your child more about the scriptures.
Then we have “Color by Numbers.” What a great way to teach your child to follow instructions and to decipher codes as they learn which number represents which color. Of course, if he would like to choose his own colors, he certainly can!
“Mazes” is filled with great mazes that also illustrate certain points. We can help Noah find his ark, we can guide Nephi’s ship to the promised land, but we can also help a little girl find her way to the Savior. What a great way to show that we all get a little lost sometimes, but we can find the path again if we are willing to search it out.
The illustrations in these books are cute, friendly, and fun. The books were put together with a gentle touch, creating an inviting feeling for the child and making learning fun instead of a chore. After sharing these books with my four children, who are a wide range of ages, I would say these books are best suited for children ages 5-8, and they’re less than $5.00 each, making them very affordable.
