Whether you're a newcomer or experienced in children's ministry, this is essential reading for anyone working with the 5-7 age group in a church-based context. 5-7s are often the most neglected of children's groups, lacking the cuteness of under fives and the sophistication of 8-11s. Yet these early school years are foundational! This handbook will equip you to understand the world and life of 5-7s, to plan and run effective programmes for them, to use the Bible, play, pray and to nurture faith.
