WHAT'S NEW ON KIDOLOGY.ORG?
If you haven't noticed already, we've pulled an "extreme makeover" on Kidology.org!

New Kidology.org

We have recently redecorated the site to spruce the place up a bit, adding new features and creating a framework "under the hood" that will help facilitate innovative tools and development down the road.

FRESH FACE ON A TRUSTED FRIEND
New Kidology DesignYou've told us that you wanted easier access to tools you love, such as the most recent Zone ideas and Forum conversations. Now they are conveniently located on the homepage!

Our popular Garage Sale, which features used children's ministry resources submitted by Kidology Members, adds new products on an almost daily basis... and they often sell quick. Now you can easily glance at what's new so you won't miss out. Plus, see the latest in other popular sections, including our Online Training, Job Center, and Podcasts.

MOVIE REVIEW: ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS
Ice Age 3"This third installment, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, is about families."

"This was not an earth-shattering film, just a fun summer one. I was most impressed with the devotion this cast of characters had with each other. The ad hoc family stood by each other through thick and thin."
