I love finding great art resources for my kids, mostly because I’m not all that artistically inclined. Even better if the curriculum helps teach or reinforce Scripture.

There are several resources we’ve enjoyed over the years that use art to teach kids. Sometimes the most simple solutions are the best. Right now, we’re using Bible Drawing Notebook for my artistic 10 year old. She simply reads the indicated chapter in the Bible, draws about it, and jots down her prayers and drawing description.

Another resource we’ve enjoyed is the See the Light Bible Stories DVDs. They’re great for any family whether they homeschool or not, using fun and instructive art projects to teach Bible stories in fresh new ways! There are artistic explorations of Bible stories including Easter Christmas story, the Apostle Paul, Moses, and Jonah.

This is a sponsored review post and giveaway in cooperation with See the Light. All opinions are my own. 

Teach Bible stories with art! I can't wait to try the Bible Stories set from See the Light! Kids get to see the stories explored in a fresh new way and do some fun art projects too. It even includes ideas for sharing the gospel!

The See the Light Bible Stories are a set of 5 DVDs. Each one focuses on a different Bible story. The kids will watch an artist illustrate the story along with a dramatic retelling and then do some fun art projects centered around the theme of the story. There are even ideas for how to share the gospel with others! 

Here are a few things I love about how these DVDs are put together: 

  • Bible stories your kids likely know and love explored in a fresh way
  • Your kids enjoy watching beautiful art being created
  • Fun techniques with chalk pastels, colored pencils, and even backlight! 
  • Downloadable lesson plans and ideas

We have some budding artists in our home and I am positive we will enjoy this series, especially if the video clips and reviews on the See the Light web site are any indication! Click here to check those out. 

The Bible Stories DVD Set includes the following: 

  • The CrossMaker – Easter story
  • God’s Special Surprise – the story of Moses
  • Gift of Love – Christmas story
  • Shipwrecked – Apostle Paul
  • God’s Runaway – Jonah and the whale 

There are so many fun ways to teach Bible using drawing and art!

  1. I’m eager to share Paul’s journeys. That’s such an exciting part of Scripture, but hard to convey at times. This DVD sounds perfect!

  2. My son LOVES he story of Jonah so I know that would be his favorite. I can’t wait to check this out, because just this year he started really enjoying drawing and coloring and art projects! Perfect timing!

  3. I think my children will like hearing the dramatic audio stories but they love to draw as well so this will be so much fun! Thank you for the giveaway!

  4. I think my kids will love Jonah and the Whale because they recently wrapped up a unit in Sunday School on it and can’t stop talking about what it would be like to be swallowed by a whale!

  5. This sounds interesting ~ I don’t homeschool, but I have no artistic ability whatsoever, so I think my boys would enjoy these. Thanks!

  6. I love the idea of sharing Bible stories through art. Art touches on more than one sense for me, and to connect that with favourite stories in the Bible sounds like a fantastic opportunity!

  7. This is such a great concept! I think I am most excited about the Easter theme but honestly I just love how art and the Bible are merged. Great idea.

  8. I think my kids will enjoy the art itself (they really LOVE projects like this!) and I am excited about the individual stories that tie into the Bible stories. Would LOVE to win this!

  9. I think the feature that my kids will love the most is that in The Crossmaker, it takes a character that they’ve never heard of and fits him into the story of the gospel.

  10. What a great way to connect children to the Bible! This would be a great resource for our children’s ministry at church!!

  11. I think my kids would like this art program and the Shipwrecked one looks right up their alley. Thanks for this offer!

  12. This looks great, I’ve not previously heard of anything like this! I think my kids would enjoy the Christmas story the most 🙂

  13. Wow! What a wonderful giveaway! I know that my children would enjoy all of the dvds, but I think that they would really love the one about Paul! What a phenomenal product!

  14. I’m certain we as a family would enjoy meditating and drawing the story of the angels appearing before the shepherds.

  15. All of these look great! I don’t even think I could choose! All of my kids love art too! I will definitely check out the three free lessons with them!

  16. I would love to win these and incorporate them into my class curriculum! Its a blessing to be able to teach scriptures at my school, and art is a passion of mine as well. I would love to be able to combine the two and share them with my students!!

  17. This looks like it might be an exciting and fresh way to teach the neighborhood kids who come to our mid week children’s club.

  18. My kids have learned to appreciate art but seeing HOW it’s created is something they don’t grasp. I think that they will be excited about that with any of the stories. Maybe it will give them confidence in their own talents.

  19. Shipwreck I think they would enjoy but they all look great! Art is on of there favorites in school Thanks for the giveaway

  20. I love the one entitled, God’s Special Surprise about Moses, they are all fantastic and would be a great resource!

  21. God’s Special Surprise is one my children would enjoy. They enjoy just hearing the bible so all of them look great!

  22. My daughter is very artistically minded. She’s always drawing and coloring and creating. And while I enjoy those things, I struggle to incorporate art into our homeschool. I’ve tried a ton of different programs to try to be more intentional about it. Perhaps combining art with another subject will finally do the trick.

  23. These would be a great way to study art and Bible at the same time. Especially for kids who maybe haven’t heard the gospel before.

  24. I think my children would enjoy everything. We are trying to encourage our 14 yr old to develop his talent and passion for the arts so this would be the perfect way to combine two wonderful things – Jesus and Art.

  25. My kids love a good story and I’m always incorporating some sort of artwork or craft into school time. I could also see using this in our co-op.

  26. I think my son would enjoy Shipwrecked the best with see the light art projects with the black light and create letters that look as though they were built with weathered wood and nails..

  27. These look so amazing. My kids are very artistic and visual learners. This would be amazing. The crossmaker looks like my fav!

  28. I dont think i could choose they all look wonderful. Bible based so children would love them. Thank you for the giveaway. I homeschool 10 children so this would make some of homeschooling easy and enjoyable

  29. My son would love any of the DVDs in this series as he loves learning and talking about his God. If we had to choose just one, Id say The story of Jonah because he likes how the fish “urps” him up and how we can’t run away from God.

  30. Hi. Your text about your giveaway says it ends 2/6 but the giveaway form says it ends in 41 days. Looks like there’s a typo in there somewhere. Thought you would want to know.

  31. I think my children wold love all of the stories and projects, but they especially love anything involving the Christmas Story.

  32. My kiddo loves art and the Bible, so this DVD set would be perfect for her! I think that she would especially love the Easter story!

  33. They all look great! All my kids would enjoy them, but the budding artist would probably like the Christmas story the most! The boys would like shipwrecked or Jonah for sure!

  34. I know my kids would love all of the stories! I think they would enjoy Shipwrecked the most though!!! 🙂

  35. My kids love to do art, but we have not pursued pastels. I know they would love some instruction in that area. Also, learning from dvds seems to hold their interest more than books. Learning to draw by doing Bible stories is so much better, too. Thanks for this opportunity.

  36. I think The Cross Maker will be a big hit with my children. How wonderful to be able to witness with art. SO EXCITED!!

  37. What an amazing DVD set! As a family, we would love “The Crossmaker”or “God’s Special Surprise”. These look interactive and what a fresh idea to learning for the whole family! Thank you for the opportunity of the giveaway, Tauna.

  38. Always looking for new ways to hear the Bible (‘faith comes by hearing’) these DVDs add Seeing along with uncomprimising art lessons! Sounds like the whole series is a win win.

  39. These all look amazing, I have never seen them or heard about them before. So, glad to hear about them through you. I think my boys would like the Shipwrecked, my daughter would probably like doing ALL of them.

  40. I think they would like Shipwrecked, especially the pastel drawing project. They are always wanting to do more art, but that is definitely my weak area!

  41. My kids love ANYTHING art-related. Their favorite TV show is about art — one based on the Bible would be even better!

  42. I’m not an art lovers as far as doing it myself. But I think these would be neat lessons for homeschool art class

  43. It’s so hard to narrow down, as each has such wonderful lessons! God’s Runaway would be a great reminder of God’s grace and mercy towards us, even in our disobedience and poor choices.

  44. After going through a stage of being shipwrecked and running away from home schooling our kids this would be the perfect start with a solid foundation with Christ leading.

  45. My kids are so artistic they would love them all. Yet, I think they would truly enjoy God’s Special Surprise. They all (ages 4, 11, 13, 15, 16, and 20) love the story of baby Moses.

  46. I have never heard of these before, but they sound great. I love art and my daughter does too. It would be a great way to engage children with the story.

  47. My youngest has been enthralled with baby Moses in the basket since she was small, so I think she will especially enjoy that story, but anything to do with art will be a thrill to do. I love the idea of combining art and Bible stories. What a neat way to teach art concepts.

  48. Since I am terrible at teaching art this would help me and my kiddos immensely. My daughter’s favorite story is Jonah and the Whale so I was happy to see it offered here.

  49. I think my son might be a little young for the program right now but he’d love to watch it and listen. We could do the lessons when he is a bit older. Looks cool!
