Dec 1, we made an advent calendar of sorts to keep track of the 25 days until Christmas. 25 hands making an 'evergreen' tree to teach how God has given us the ability to have everlasting life through Christ (John 6:47b, 1 Peter 2:24a & Jn 3:16)
Dec 2, we lit the tree to remind us that Jesus is the Light of the world. (John 8:12)
Dec 3, we wrote down our favorite thing that God has blessed us with (Joshua picked cherries)(Ezekiel 34:26b & Romans 10:12b)
Dec 4, pick one of our toys to donate (John 3:16a & IICor8:7b)
Dec 5, made a star ornament (Matthew 2:9b-10)
Dec 6, set up the nativity & discussed the verse (Luke 2:1-20)
Dec 7, discuss the names of Jesus & make/decorate name place cards for everyone in your family, and write qualities describing that person on the inside (Isaiah 9:6b)
Well, I don't want to break any copyright laws here so I'll stop, but I highly recommend this book - it's so fun! I'd write the activity out every day if I didn't feel like I was stealing these folks' hard work! I'll try to share our favorites with you.
