This year we are doing a new Advent study. Though it is said this is geared for younger children, as I have looked through it, and started planning, I have found that it can easily be adapted for use with the WHOLE family.
We are using Truth in the Tinsel this year.
Spend December impressing God’s Word on your kids’ heart! You’ll get 24 days of Scripture reading, ornament crafts, talking points and extension activities. Plus fun pintables and templates!
The printable ornaments are $3.99 and the book is $7.99.
Over the last week or so, I have been gathering our supplies to make the ornaments. I also purchased the printable ornaments for days we don’t have all the supplies, or days that get a little frazzled.
I love how there is a supply list by day also. This could be really helpful to maybe place all supplies in zip lock baggies by day and number them. I haven’t done that, but I can see where it would be super helpful.
Here you can see the step by step instructions and the pictures to help you along.
Here are a few of the templates that are included with the main book to help you make some of the ornaments.
This is a picture of a few of the printable ornaments. You can have your children color them with crayons, markers, pastels, or oil pastels. For older children they could use glitter glue, water colors, yarn and more. Let your children use their own creative ideas.
We will start our Truth in the Tinsel activity on December 1 with many other families around the world. Will you be joining us?

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
We did this last year, with kids ages 5, 9, and 10. Truth be told, the olders got more out of it than the youngest so I agree that it is easily workable for a wide variety of ages. Have fun with it!
