Now would be a great time to order a copy of my preschool/kindergarten curriculum: Picture Book Preschool. The book would make a great Christmas gift for your favorite mom of preschoolers, especially if you packaged it with copies of two or three of the books suggested in the curriculum.
Each week of Picture Book Preschool is built around a theme, and includes a suggested character trait to work on, a Bible verse, and seven picture books to read to your children. Here is an example of the first week, built around the theme of the new year and the changing seasons:
Week 1 (Dec/Jan) THE NEW YEAR/SEASONS
Character Trait: Patience
Bible Verse: It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter. Psalm 74:17

Picture Book Preschool is a preschool/kindergarten curriculum which consists of a list of picture books to read aloud for each week of the year and a character trait, a memory verse, and activities, all tied to the theme for the week. You can purchase a downloadable version (pdf file) of Picture Book Preschool by Sherry Early at Biblioguides.
Sherry – your packages look great. I’m not a homeschooler (and don’t have the temperament to supplement their public schooling with a structured program), but, again, I like what you’ve put together. Three of the four books in your picture are well-loved books on our shelves.
Yes Sherry these packages looks great.
