Baha'i Children's Class Resources

http://www.ruhiresources.org/
(Go to the sections called Book 3 or Book 3A depending on which age range you are teaching or to the section called Child Education). This is a great website with many valuable resources, including pdf files of the coloring pages and song lyrics, handouts to give parents as an introduction, links to buy the CDs of the songs, and the list could go on -- there are so many great resources on their site.

Listed on this site are many useful links to websites. Some helpful sections on this site are Spiritual Education Resources and Core Curriculum for Spiritual Education. Under the "Spiritual Education Resources" section there is a link to the Brilliant Star Magazine Index that lists every issue of the magazine since 1991 -- this is great for if you already have a collection of the magazines and just want to find which one would have the virtue/activity you are looking for.
