Each day, you'll find a Bible reading with a short commentary and discussion questions, a suggested picture book to read, and engaging activities in three categories:
Also includes hand-painted watercolor nativity elements that you and your child can use throughout the study.
It's never too early to introduce your children to Jesus, the true meaning of Christmas. More than anything, I pray this guide points them to Him.
This was one of my first purchases from Brighter Day Press. We are a homeschool family of 4 with children all under the age of 7 years. This Christmas plan was beautifully done. I appreciated how simplistic yet very full it was with rich, meaningful lessons. I enjoyed how the planning was all done for you, only needing a few supplies that most were already on hand! We were not able to loan the library books from the list but I was happy to find most of the titles were on Youtube as read alouds!
Thank you for creating this guide to help families purposefully slow down and intentionally teach and share the heart behind Christmas — all with Scripture, songs, activities, and traditions that we will hold dear as a family for years to come!
Wonderful books and fun activities, my child loves it! There are so many activities it's not feasible for us to do them all (it's for my youngest and my older ones are still doing regular homeschool) but that is great because next year I could use again with other activities and it will stay fresh. Also there are some activities my son is able to do now, but others that are too advanced for him that he can do next year. I especially love how everything is Christ-centered, especially at the age when I am wanting to teach him the true meaning of Christmas. I've been following for years, but this is my first actual guide we used, and I am very impressed!
We are loving Come to the Manger: A Christ-Centered Christmas Guide. It is very well put together. The crafts and recipes are fun for young children. We can’t wait to place another order!
I love how this devotional is laid out---it definitely can function as a great homeschool curriculum for the month of December for younger kids. The combination of hands-on activities, reading, and beautiful theology is great! And the book recommendations have been wonderful! It was recommended to me for my 3-year-old, but I'd say it's best tailored to age 4 and up. If she had an older sibling, I think she'd be more engaged, but as the oldest at 3, I don't think she's quite ready for the devotional readings and some of the activities. It also can become expensive with the supply list and purchasing books (many of them weren't at our local library), but with enough planning ahead of time it's very doable! Definitely recommend.
We’ve enjoyed this study so much! ♥️ so glad we purchased! We will definitely be buying more studies!
