With weekly declarations like “Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength,” “I was created with a purpose,” and “I was made to worship,” this family-style devotional is a gentle invitation for children to draw near to the Word of God.

These five podcasts inspire young nature lovers, scientists, and historians. If you use Treehouse Nature Study, it’s really fun to line up the episodes from the science podcasts with the theme you’re studying each week! My kids have learned so much listening while they play with legos, eat lunch, or model with clay.
