Advent ideas for kids

December 1, 2016

christmas books for kids

I’ve stumbled upon two fun advent ideas for kids this week, and I plan to start them both today…

  1. Wrap up 25 Christmas pictures book individually. Number each of them. Your kids can unwrap one each day until Christmas, and you can read it together. We already own a few Christmas books I will include, I bought a few more from the girls’ school book fair, and I’m planning to borrow the rest from the library.
  2. The book of Luke has 24 chapters. Read one chapter each day to your kids up until Christmas Eve. I will probably do an abbreviated version of the reading since my kids are so young. Older children could take turns reading aloud.

I just wanted to share these two meaningful activities that don’t require a ton of prep work, but promote Christ, literacy, and family time. Win, win, win.

About Jen Russum

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
