Tiddlywinks is a very easy to use range of resources, specifically designed for groups with a high proportion of non-church children and carers. 25 multi-purpose outlines provide ideas for play, prayer, craft, stories and rhymes from which you can pick and choose to meet the particular needs of your group. Themes covered in The Big Purple Book:
  • Jesus loves me
  • God loves it when .... I make music, sing, dance, look at books, I'm me
  • Friends and followers (mostly Paul stories)
  • Materials and technology.
The main theme of the Purple books is a selection of ten gospel stories for young children including many of the 'classics'. A photocopiable resource.

There is a whole set of these books, in different colours, and they have photocopiable sheets for the youngest children and lots of ideas for other activities.  They are themed and take most of the hard work out of organising themes for Family Services.
