Preschool 3-5
What a Wonderful World! This is a Bible-based, 4-book series of 72 lessons. It also requires contemporary children’s books. The themes are matched to the elementary Celebrating My God-self series. The kit for Volume 1 includes Co-co the Wonder Bear puppet and illustrated storytelling figures. Co-co is used throughout the series. The storytelling figures change from volume to volume. They are included in each kit (per volume) or can be purchased separately. We recommend laminating the figures to preserve them.

Elementary Children 6-10
Celebrating My God-self is a Bible-based, 6-book series of 72 lessons. The themes are matched to What a Wonderful World! preschool series. Lessons are divided into two age levels: 6-8 and 9-10.
