Shine’s new Path to Peace Curriculum allows teachers and children to follow the peace paths in The Peace Table: A Storybook Bible. The curriculum includes faith formation materials for PreK–Kindergarten and Elementary age levels for 15 sessions. (There is no Junior Youth component to this curriculum.) Leader guides are available in both print and digital formats for $59.99 USD each. Both include access to music and other digital resources. Each age-level leader guide includes black and white printable student pages, two per session (one for younger children and one for older children). While these flexible units are great for use during the summer, they are undated and can be used any time of year.
