We have lots of activities going for the Advent Season. Our main resource is Truth in the Tinsel. It is a wonderful resource for crafts for this season. Each day begins with a scripture reading followed by a craft that coordinates with the scripture then a follow up discussion. I cut the little clue cards for each day and put them in our snowman Christmas countdown.
We also made this countdown chain that also has a clue for the craft for that day.
Day One: Light
Day Two: Crown
Day Three: Zechariah
I somehow don't have a picture of this craft.
Day Four: Gabriel
Each Sunday in Advent we light a candle on our Advent Wreath and have a special family devotion. We also have a book of devotions that we are working through each night until Christmas.
These crafts are suppose to be ornaments. I knew when we began that 24 craft ornaments (times two) were not going to fit well on our Christmas tree. My original plan was to buy a small tree to put in our homeschool room for these ornaments, but I decided not to spend the money on another tree. We decided to decorate these buckets that we already have and just make a bucket full of Advent crafts. Works great!
