From the Back Cover

When you think of praying, do you see yourself closing your eyes and putting your hands together? It's good, but there are also many, many other ways to pray!

Why not experiment and try:

play dough prayers
Lego prayers
building a prayer den
bubble wrap prayers
making a prayer tree . . .

Written by two adults, but with LOTS of feedback from other young experimenters, this book will get you praying in many fun and different ways.

Which will be your favourite prayer experiment?

'I think this activity is one of the best activities because it made you think what you were thankful for.' Alex (11) on the thank-you jar

'It was exciting and fun because it was a bit like a game and you didn't know which type of prayer you would get.' Poppy (11) on chatterbox prayers
