As we get closer and closer to the big day I am sure there are some of you who are scratching your heads thinking, “what am I going to get that kid?!” Even though there is a glut on the market for toys, toys and more toys, sometimes you want something a little different, a little unique. Perhaps even something that will feed their minds and hearts with feel good messages while learning about nature, faith and God. It’s great to stick to the lists children across the land have painstakingly printed out with their best pencil crayons, but let’s face it: there are only so many barbies or skylander figures a child can have and sometimes these toys just don’t say what you really want to share with your little friend or child. This is when you need an idea for something different. Here is what I suggest:
Owlegories:
Owlegories Vol. 1 – The Sun, The Seed and The Water is an all new animated series and interactive digital app for children that teaches them about God through the amazing things found in nature and revealed in God’s Word. Thomas Boto and his wife Julie, with the help of their four young boys, are the creators of Owlegories and the original interactive storybook app on which the animated series is based. “You can tell a lot about an artist by what he creates” is the premise behind Owlegories. Taking inspiration from the series banner verse, Psalm 19:1-4, Owlegories addresses the important theme of creation and explores the nature of God as the Creator of the Universe through the use of allegories, metaphors and analogies.
Having sold out on Amazon and landing on the top ten list at Walmart.com, Owlegories is taking the world by storm. You and your kids can follow along with a group of student owls as they travel on adventures learning about everything from nature and how they fit in this world, to our Creator and His role in everything. While we may not like to resort to entertaining our kids with movies and online games, you can rest assured that with Owlegories your kiddo will be entertained in a fun and engaging way, in a safe environment. Parents will enjoy watching it with their kids as well.
