    We are going to start working on the habit of Sunday keeping and I like the idea of a special books just for Sunday read alouds.  Does anyone have ideas that would be especially suited for special Sunday reading and appropriate for a 4 and 5 year old? They enjoy Charlottes’s Web and Little House type books to give you some idea of their attention levels.

    Winnie-the-Pooh, Beatrix Potter, & Wind in the Willows were ones we enjoyed.

    That is a great idea.  You could use Storytime with the Millers, as it is written for younger children.  You might also use some books from Answers in Genesis, like When Dragons Hearts were Good by Buddy Davis, or D is for Dinosaurs by Ken Ham or Dinosaurs of Eden. 

    You could do games and activities around a Bible lesson on the ten commandments.  I like the idea of doing these activities on Sundays.  But we did these as part of school: http://www.biblestoryprintables.com/BiblePrintablesTenCommandments.html 

    I printed bookmarks on cardstock for the kids to color and we still use them.  I also printed the sequencing cards for pictures and for numbers to play matching game with them, kind of like the Rightstart math games uses matching games.

    Great suggestions.  I even have Wind and the Willows, but I hadn’t thought of using it yet.  The Millers series looks very nice.  We’ll have to try some of those.
