Do you have trouble finding faith-based resources that are Biblically sound and age-appropriate?  I love all things that point kids toward Christ, but find that a daily devotion doesn’t always sink in for my children aged 7, 5 and 4.  They also love their Action Bible (kind of like a comic book), but it moves quickly.
