Creation By Design (CBD) has come up with a Bible-based trading card series that not only hops on the popular trading and collecting bandwagon, but also slips in biblical and random facts education along the way. The company hopes its original 3-D, computer-generated artwork will grab the attention of kids, and rekindle their interest in the adventures and historical figures of the Bible. "I wanted my kids, ages 7 and 5, to be able to learn about their religion without them feeling like they were in Sunday school," said Steven Kaye, creator of the CBD trading card line. "These cards had to be made in a way that the kids want to look at them, want to read them, want to collect them." Each card has original generated color artwork on the front depicting either an event, person or object from the Bible. The back of each card is divided into three sections, offering Narrative, Fun Facts and a Timeline. The information on the trading cards has been written and edited by several biblical scholars of various denominations for accuracy. Read more in the Feb. 9 issue of Christian Retailing. |
