Description

This little, multi-sensory advent book is amazing! Perfect for busy, young families wanting their kids to understand deeper spiritual truths this Christmas. I love the size (7” x 7”) and simplicity! Colorfully illustrated pages are beautifully organized into short, easy-to-read sections. The daily activity suggestion is my favorite feature – reinforcing lessons in simple ways kids won’t forget, while creating fun memories (ex: flashlight fun when learning about Jesus as the light of the world, etc.). Each day’s devotion takes a couple of minutes to read, and 4 very short sections follow it:

  • Read About It- Scripture verses related to the devotion
  • Talk About It- Questions to ponder
  • Go About It- A simple, mess-free activity to reinforce the lesson
  • Pray About It- A meaningful prayer to pray together

Use these in a morning basket, during “Read-Aloud” time, or as devotionals before bed during the Christmas season. Geared for early elementary kids, but the whole family will enjoy listening and doing the activities, which are adaptable for all ages. What a neat way to prepare hearts for the gift of Jesus! 98 pgs, hc.
