More Ideas for Advent Bags
Sticky Notes
Next I included a pack of sticky notes in the Advent bags. Families can use them to write encouraging words to each other.
Christmas Prayer Cube
Living Grace makes a wooden Christmas prayer cube that I put in the Advent bags. Each colored side features a prayer. Families can roll the cube and read the prayer together before meals.
Faith 5 Bookmark
A bookmark can highlight a great way to do family devotions. Faith 5 lists these steps: share highs and lows, read a Bible verse or story, talk about the Bible verse or story and how it can relate to your highs and lows, pray for one another’s highs and lows, and bless each other.
Jesus’ Birthday Cake
Finally try this fun, meaningful project! Each cake layer represents something. For the recipe, click here: Jesus Birthday Cake
Family Advent bags and activities are a hit with kids and parents! I love hearing how families use these ideas to prepare for Christmas. Use the printables from this post to create your own Advent bags for families.
