I apologize for sounding like an advertisement for Home School products, but I simply must give this one a plug! Art And The Bible For Children by Barry Stebbing.
I don't usually plug American sites when an item is available in Australia but this is on special at christian book in America for $14.99 (about $20 Aus) and with postage at only $10 ($15) it is still a massive saving off the original price. www.christianbook.com
Your children will be excited to start creating their own biblically-based masterpieces after looking through the artwork in Art and the Bible for Children! Favorite Bible stories are written at an elementary level for each child to understand, while art lessons and discussion questions at the end of each story provide a fun way to reinforce the lesson and basic art skills. Draw and color a nighttime sky from Genesis' creation week, Ruth in Boaz' field, and Jesus in the midst of seven golden candlesticks, as you move from Genesis through Revelation. Illustrated by homeschoolers, the glossy, full-color pages make looking through this book a treat--and serves as inspiration to get drawing! Perfect for homeschool lessons, Sunday Schools, or Christian schools. 275 pages, hardcover. Pages are reproducible for classroom use.

It can be too tempting though! but nothing cheers a homeschooler up as much as a good book!

I have booklists set up and if I really like the book and think I need it I add it to my booklist for next year. xxx
