Learning About God With The Owlegories {Review and Giveaway}

Growing up, we typically went to church every Sunday for Sunday School and what we called "big Church." I remember in Sunday School having little coloring sheets, some kind of crossword puzzle or even a craft that encompassed what we were going to be learning about that Sunday.

It was those types activities that helped kids to learn more about God, but in a way that we could understand. But let's face it, once those activities were done, they were typically shoved in our Bible and may not have been looked at for some time.

Fast forward to the present where there are resources online, in bookstores and even on television that teaches kids about God and His word. Don't get me wrong, having all of this available information to help me teach my children about God makes it easier for me to do just that, but it can sometimes be overwhelming even thinking where to start.

For me, my daughter LOVES videos with any kind of cartoon with animals in them (and my 1 year old will actually stop for more than a few seconds to pay attention). So when the opportunity to review the Owlegories Season 3 dvd, I did my research and felt that this would be perfect for her to watch.

Owls Teaching God's Word?

The Owlegories series was created by Thomas and Julie Boto as a way to make learning about God fun. I mean, shouldn't learning about God and his love for us be fun and enjoyable? Not to mention that the characters (yes, they are owls), Joey, Nora, Violet, Gus and Twitch and the Professor, are wonderfully drawn.

Each Owlegories dvd contains 3 short stories is around 10 to 15 minutes in which the owls are given a lesson, which focuses on a specific element of nature, given to them by the Professor in which they travel to different lands to learn about this element and along the way, they learn not only about nature, but about faith and God. Each short story also centers around a key scripture and is recapped at the end, which is hosted by a well-known musician or actor.

The Fire, The Duck and The Seasons

My daughter's favorite was The Duck, which guest stars Uncle Si from Duck Dynasty as the duck, Uncle Fly, and the owl's adventure to the swamp to learn about the three gifts that God has given to everyone.

I personally thought that all three stories were great - the stories were perfect for little kids to enjoy and understand, and the recap at the end was a great way to go over the message of the story. I know Owlegories will become a part of our learning of God's Word and can't wait to watch more episodes in the future.
