Journey to the Manger Advent Calendar

My whole family loved doing this together!!! It was something all of us looked forward to at night. My older kids enjoyed it as much as my younger kids. Thanks Review by Melisa Curtis Posted: 11/14/2018

My 4 year-old-son and I used this for the 2016 Christmas season. I can't rave about this product enough. The stories were well written and full of Biblical truths. Each daily reading had an activity geared towards older children and another geared towards younger children, so it was quite versatile. The poster and the large stickers were colorful and are in fact, still hanging in our kitchen as a reminder of what we learned. My son's favorite part of each story was the phrase that he had to repeat each time I pointed at him during the story. He memorized them each day and by the end of Advent, he would proudly point to each sticker and repeat what he had learned from that day's lesson. I wish I could find a daily devotional for the rest of the year that was as engaging as this Advent product! Well done FOCUS on the Family! Review by Ginger Posted: 1/7/2017

My family has used this advent calendar for two years now and it is becoming a treasured tradition for my now 5 year old daughter. The stories for each character can be simplified enough for a three year old and the stories deepened as the kids get older. I even learned a thing or two. We love the graphics and the colorful poster that helps make learning the story of Christ that much more fun! Review by Carrie Gilliam Posted: 12/2/2016

I used this calendar for the 2015 Advent season with my two boys ages 5 and 7. We loved it! I like the scriptures about the prophets and awaiting...a subject that is sometimes hard for kids to understand, but important for them to be exposed to. The stickers and poster are very cute. It was a nice variety of additional activities. Some activities were too hard for my kids ages, but it was not a problem. When short on time, you can easily just do the sticker and scripture of the day. Highly recommended! Review by Mary Posted: 11/14/2016
