Does the craziness of the holiday seem to sweep you away? Do you sit there on December 25th and say, “Wait. Did we even talk about Jesus the last 24 days?”. Do Santa, gifts and parties cloud over the real stuff you want to focus on?
Truth in the Tinsel by Amanda White is a wonderful ebook that teaches the Christmas story of Jesus birth through 24 advent activities.
It will lead you and your children through the Christmas Story. You’ll take a few minutes each day to read the Christmas Story directly from the Bible, make a fun ornament or craft, and then talk about the story together.
Why do I love Truth in the Tinsel?
1. I love the daily lessons that teach and help children connect to the Christmas story, the story of Jesus’ birth.
2. I love the crafts and activities that extend the learning.
3. I love the organization. Amanda provides a complete supply list and a specific daily supply list. If you prefer not to do a lesson every day, you can easily select the lessons that you want to do; and can prepare for them in a snap!
4. Amanda has also provided hyperlinked Bible scriptures; colorful, easy to follow photographs and descriptions; and handy printable templates.
5. I love the price: For $7.99 you receive a 46 page resource with 24 activities, plus extra activities to boot!
