149 Faith-based Play with Chantal Baros of Shining Light Dolls

AMDG.  We’ve talked before about filling our environments with things that help young children encounter their faith in a tangible way.  In this episode, homeschool mom, fellow podcaster, and owner of Shining Light Dolls, Chantal Baros, visits with Bonnie and Steven.  They talk about how play-based learning can help little ones internalize tenets of our faith and experience the global community of cultures, how big emotions like grief can be processed through play, and how Chantal runs a small family business while also homeschooling.
