songs for saplings

recently tom and i decided that we would like to look into different methods for catechizing children. while searching monergism.com, i stumbled across an unexpected resource: "songs for saplings." seeing that caleb is (almost) 16 months old, music is the perfect tool for getting God's Word into his heart. he loves to dance and clap to all types of music so i try to keep the cd going during free playtime before his morning nap. the first cd, titled songs for saplings, is geared for toddlers and pairs the letters of the alphabet with a word and a corresponding scripture verse. for example, a is for keeping me as the apple of Your eye, psalm 17:8. pretty juvenile you say? try this one, e is for the word of the Lord endures forever, 1 peter 1:25. awesome stuff...and i typed all of that from memory! the cd's work, i learned something :) i bought 3 more of the cd's entitled "questions with answers" even though they are geared for pre-k and early elementary age kids. i highly recommend these resources. check out the website at www.songsforsaplings.com. you can listen to snippets of a few of the songs...and don't worry, they aren't cheesey and vary in genre/song style. one word of caution, when i received our cd's from monergism.com, the envelope had been split and all four cases had been cracked. i wasn't too happy. but, b/c i downloaded them into itunes and my ipod, it wasn't too big of a problem for us. monergism.com was couple dollars cheaper, but you might want to consider ordering them directly from the manufacturer if you want the cases in one piece.
