Which Preschool Bible Curriculum Should I Choose?

A few years ago, I created the Bible Truths from A-Z curriculum when my oldest was in preschool. In fact, you can find a free “rough draft” version for each letter on this blog (find it by searching Letter A, Letter B, etc). It was so fun to go through each letter together, learn more about God and Bible, and do all the letter and learning activities.

Then, my middle guy got to be preschool-aged and I wanted to create something for him, so Bible Explorer Camp was born. I’ve loved using it this year for a gentle preschool curriculum for him—especially since he’s my hands-on, sensory guy :)

I have a spot spot for each one for different reasons, and they’ve both been such a gift to our family in each season :)

If you are curious about either curriculum or contemplating which one to use with your family, I thought I’d share this handy little chart to quickly see which one may work best for you :)

So, how to choose?

If you are looking for a more comprehensive Bible or stand alone preschool curriculum then I would suggest Bible Explorer Camp. It has more in-depth details and structure than the Bible Truths from A-Z curriculum. But! Both of them work well as supplemental Bible learning if you only want to add a few Bible learning activities to your week.

If you are looking for lots of crafts, art, science experiments, and recipes, then Bible Truths from A-Z is a wonderful choice. There is only one activity per letter--but there is a wide scope of activities. And since there is only one activity per letter, it is easy to keep the learning simple and doable. I often suggest this one for younger preschoolers because it is a little simpler :)

If you like sensory play, art, learning games and activities, and recipes, then Bible Explorer Camp may be more up your alley. Many families also like that the letters also move in chronological order--so it follows the timeline of the Bible. Personally, I’ve liked that some weeks we can dive in deep and other weeks we keep it to one or two of the activities —it’s very flexible!

They are both hands-on, fun, and can help you teach your little ones about God and the Bible in an engaging way! 

One quick note about printing:

Bible Explorer camp is almost all in black and white--which can make it a little cheaper and easier to print. Bible Truths from A-Z does have some resources in all black and white, but most of it is very colorful and fun!

Just in case you’d like to purchase either curriculum, get 15% off code BIBLE15 :) Ps. This code will work with all mini-units (which are lovely + fun too!) and curriculums in the shop :)

Ps. If you have any additional questions about them, please ask!
