Theo Presents~ Theology for the young'ns (Giveaway X2 ended)

We were recently given the opportunity to review a new DVD series for kids. (And I get to give away 2 of the same Sample DVD's that I received... details at the end of the post) Theo Presents combines cartoons with Theology. :) The series follows a gentle English theologian and 2 (church?) mice, Belfry and Luther through many topics, each as a separate episode:

Check out the Bonus Episode "Good News" to hear the good news of the Gospel, and get a feel for Theo Presents (Note~ this episode is about 1/2 the length of each of the other episodes)

Theo - Good News from Theo Presents on Vimeo.

You can preview a portion of some of the other episodes right on the Website if you check out the "Videos" tab.
My youngest has enjoyed watching the sample DVD that we received with the "Good News" Bonus Episode and the first episode of "Saving Faith". He enjoys the silly mice and the paper-type puppets and other illustrations. I enjoy the gentle teaching that is included, and have recommended this for our AWANA group as a back-up for council-time on evenings that the pastor is not able to attend.

My youngest has also enjoyed exploring the FREE THEO app (available now for iPhone and iPad) recently. The Bonus Episode is included in the app as well as a game (Looks like there are more in the works), previews of available episodes, coloring pages, etc.... There is also some great information for parents/teachers ~ a synopsis of each planned episode along with coordinating scripture verses.

The website includes parent guides for each episode which include a key Q & A, Bible Verse, synopsis of the Bible Story, and a hands-on activity/object lesson. This really extends the value of the video, in my opinion, and makes it much more memorable for your child.
